This is an age-old debate that even the seasoned professionals have trouble answering. What’s better for weight loss? Cardio (Cardiovascular Training in full) or Weight Training? Dr. Chiraag Kotecha, the Lead Specialist at Refine Skin & Body Clinic breaks it down for us.


What is Cardiovascular Training?
It entails exercises that involve your whole body at moderate to high intensity for an extended time. Cardiovascular workouts elevate your heart rate. The greater your heartbeat, the more fat you’ll burn.
Common forms of cardio include walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, skipping rope, fitness classes etc. There are also cardio machines like rowers, ellipticals, stair climbers, bikes, treadmills etc.


What is Weight Training?
These are exercises that entail using weights or weight machines, mostly known to build muscle but also shrink fat.
Weight training builds muscle, and muscle burns more calories than fat up to three times more. The more muscle you have, the more calories you’re going to burn and your body keeps burning calories for the next 24 to 48 hours as it works to repair stressed muscle tissues.
Question: What’s more effective? Answer: Both!
Fat loss is a result of effort & persistence. The best exercise for fat loss is the one that you are most consistent with. We are all different and what applies best to one person may not apply well to another.
