Podcast Episode Summary
Lifting weights plus cardio plus food intake should be your triangle of weight loss. Why?
• Reducing food intake will reduce the amount of calories you put in your body which will force your body to use up some of the fat you've stored.
• Cardio exercises such as walking, swimming, biking, or jogging improves your heart and lungs and uses up more calories.
• Weight lifting increases your metabolism so that your body continues to consume calories even when you are asleep. More calories than if you didn't lift weights.
You don't have to be a bodybuilder to lift weights. If all you can heft is 5 lbs twice, that's a start. Start with lifting 5 lbs twice, then go for a walk. Increase the repetitions gradually. Then, increase the weight. Start at a comfortable weight and a comfortable number of reps, then increase gradually. Afterwards, go for a walk to do the cardio stuff.
