Welcome to another weekend short of The Matter Over Mind Experience
I am your host, Master Trainer & Weight Management Expert, Narado Zeco Powell
This weekend let’s discuss strength training.
In fact, I name today’s short, Strength Training Is Our Metabolic Money Maker
I will break this down to help you understand the benefits of strength training for your metabolism.
Let’s begin
I have mentioned in many Shorts & Episodes that one of the biggest mistakes we make when we want to lose weight is we do too much cardio
Now, another mistake we make is to think that cardio isn’t important
Now, this can sound confusing, so let me explain
Cardio is important for your cardiovascular health and should be a part of your routine
In most cases cardio should be in zone 2 which promoted fat oxidation and should not be more than 2- 3 times per week
Now, let’s discuss strength training
There are many benefits of strength training, but what I want to focus on here, are the benefits for your metabolism
Strength training has indirect and direct impacts to your metabolism
The indirect impact because building lean muscle helps you burn more calories at rest
The direct impact is similar to cardio done in zone 2, strength training promotes fat oxidation which helps you use fat for energy
Strength training is Your Metabolic Money Maker
I recommend that strength training should be the foundation of your health or weight management routine
Make sure to focus on adequate nutrition for recovery which I Will discuss in an upcoming short
Enjoy your weekend fam!
