The ultimate showdown between cardio and weightlifting finally explained! After a recent podcast appearance with Angie Wisdom sparked numerous questions, I dive deep into what truly works for women's fitness, especially as we age.
Let's start by shattering some persistent myths. Despite what you may have heard, muscle doesn't "weigh more" than fat—a pound is a pound regardless. The difference lies in density, with muscle taking up less space on your frame. And ladies, you won't get "bulky" from lifting weights! Without significant testosterone and extreme dedication, weightlifting simply creates definition and tone while boosting your metabolism.
The timing of your workouts matters tremendously. Training "fed" (having eaten 45-60 minutes before) provides your muscles with glycogen and amino acids, leading to better performance, increased strength, and enhanced recovery. While fasted training may feel effective for fat loss, it often compromises performance and can lead to muscle breakdown. Your body needs proper fuel to perform optimally and protect hard-earned muscle.
The "skinny fat" phenomenon occurs when excessive cardio is paired with inadequate resistance training and nutrition. This combination elevates cortisol, breaks down muscle, and creates a physique that appears thin but lacks definition. The solution? Incorporate weight training, which makes your body more metabolically active. Each pound of muscle burns 6-10 calories daily at rest, creating an "afterburn effect" that continues working long after your workout ends.
Ready to transform your approach to fitness? Remember that training isn't one-size-fits-all. Consider your specific goals, adjust your nutrition and exercise accordingly, and don't be afraid to lift heavier! Your body will thank you with improved composition, increased strength, and sustainable results that cardio alone simply cannot deliver.
