Calorie-burning training will help you shape up and cut body fat in time for summer
The best way to train, in my opinion, and my all-time favourite, is through strength training, because of everything it allows your body to achieve.
But it’s always good to mix things up and if you haven’t been really pushing yourself very much, then there are plenty of ways to hit the body hard and get the results you want.
Be clever about training and understand that not every way of training is the same.
This is a typical time of the year when you will see people trying to take up running or another cardio activity, such as cycling, in an attempt to shed those extra pounds.
Cardio exercises, like running, are great for a healthy heart and can be a good way to give yourself some head space, if you enjoy it, but hitting a 20-30 minute run is not going to get you in great shape.
Traditional cardio will burn calories while you are doing it but will not burn them after, unlike strength training.
This is an important factor as you should know why you are doing a type of training and understand how it benefits you without being in an illusion.
