When it comes to fat loss, many beginners get's into the most confusing question which is "To do cardio more or to step into strength training for extreme fat loss?" So, let's break it down. When a beginner engaged in cardio, he/she burns more calories as compared to strength training, but only during the cardio session. While when a beginner is engaged in strength training, it helps beginner to build lean muscle, which is metabolically active. In other words, strength training helps you to increase your muscle metabolism which then increases your resting metabolic rate. But, what's the benefit for increased metabolism? This will help you to lose weight while you're resting in your couch or while watching TV. At last, cardio will help you to burn calories only when engaged in session, while strength training helps you to burn calories during the session also after the workout ends, it is like your body works as a calorie burning machine.
