5 extra hours of fat burning-FREE


In Lou Schuler’s book “The new rules of Lifting for Women” he brings up the point that most of us trainers are trying to get across to our women clients-Strength Training is good for you.
This seems to be the big selling point of his argument. In a study conducted at the University of Colorado, 2 groups were exercised for same amount of time-one with strength/wgt training routine and the other with a cardio routine.
5 hours after the exercise session, the strength group was burning 22% more fat calories than the cardio group. So if weight loss is your primary reason for working out, then it seems to reason that a strength training program would be more beneficial for accomplishing your goals. 
Remember, at Coach K fitness,we train smarter.
