Can strength training be better than cardio for fat burn ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fat loss: When people want to lose weight they usually mean fat loss. Body fat has important functions from cellular membrane physiology to protection of organs and helping with body heat. However fat gets a bad "rap" rightfully so when it is in excess of a person's ideal body weight. Always try to maintain muscle mass with exercise. How you perform your strength or cardio is more important than which.
