RE: Should I do more in between training sessions such as cardio?

in #weightloss7 years ago

I take a similar approach with my clients @xel I'm not a big fan of cardio for weight loss, I'd rather teach them how to manage their calories.

Most of them come to me with the idea established in their heads that they must have a post workout shake but when we sit down and work out how many calories they are eating, they are in surplus just from from what they eat. Add the post workout meal and they can go up to 1000 Kcal over maintenance every day or sometimes even more.

That may be OK for an 18 year old bodybuilder with more testosterone than a bull, but not so good for most women or men past about 28-30 years old.

They soon see why they weren't losing weight even though they were beating themselves up with loads of hard training and added cardio.

Cool post, I'll upvote you tomorrow when my steem power comes back up.

Exactly it’s always about nutrition first and foremost. You just can’t out train a high calorie diet.

If a client enjoys cardio then I am all for it.

If a client dreads cardio I would rather them put their effort into nutrition or training.

And thank you for your upvote Khufu

No problem @xel quality content deserves to be rewarded.

& I use a variation of your statement above about calories.

You cant outrun a box of doughnuts.
