Cardio vs Weight Lifting: Which Is Better for Weight Loss? 

Can you tell me the cardio exercises please...

​@@pegasus_yt_officialjust do any cardio that's enjoyable for you running biking, personally I like the rowing machine builds core strength thn I'll hit the bench press

How intense was the weight training??

Exact same thing I did and I lost 5kg in 3 weeks. Run 7-10k, 5 or 6 days a week. Do strength training: 100 push-ups, 100 squats, and 100 variations of core exercises (I switched those up from day to day). Usually went with four sets of 25 reps each. Got into incredible shape. However, I’ve tried that same routine without the cardio and didn’t get nearly the same results. Run, bike, swim…do cardio. It’s great

Is fast walking for an hour in the morning and 30 min of strength training in the evening is good for weight loss?

Agree!

Honestly lol

Thanks for summing up the entire vid

Genius

AKA CrossFit

Damn. Been trying to lose weight.

@@hardwick5192 how much are you trying to lose?

@@Havik714 I’m 239 trying to get down to 160-170

Does this work for fat loss not just weight ?

Good stuff

How long it took?

@@siddheshnair1311 i lost 15 pounds in almost 3 weeks.

Nice

@@totalowwnage91 what was your daily caloric intake?

This is amazing

But how you do cardio and weight just in 30 minutes?

@@pastorfred2048 my dear, you mix it. 5 min cardio and then you use your dumbbells for 5 min. And so on. It's all fun. It depends on which workout you use. I like going for fitness blender who do alot of infuses

@@user9-d8c oh ok 👌

Same

😂😂😂😂😂

Just sit on your couch and ask people ....what to do? And you will loose your weight.

Update?

Same thing happened to me I loose weight slowly and however on my scale it says I’m loosing muscle

Weights are not easier at all. You end up sore asf and stiff as a fucking board for days afterward a session. Cardio is relaxing in comparison. You must be lifting 5lb weights or something.

@@UsyksmashedFurytopieces I think it's about preference. I hate doing cardio, I'd rather be sore from lifting. But both cardio and lifting help, coupled with a calorie deficit, you're good to go!

Exactly, cardio makes me more tired and low. While weight training feels energetic. If we do weights our body burns calories through out the day. And I really enjoy the soreness I get. It feels I have worked on a muscle, teared it and now need to let it heal and get toned. I feel shredded after weight training and it feels so good.

@@UsyksmashedFurytopieces after you build basal muscle resistance there is no soreness anymore. I started doing push ups and after the third session there was no more soreness

I feel your irritation 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I started doing this. Took a good look at my selves realized that in my life food is way more important to me than getting a great physique and quit. I do moderate exercises to stay in my shape and healthy. I’m glad you could do this. Cheers to you.

Cardio at the gym is the worst. It's as repetitive as a hamster wheel and I'd be bored to tears at the routine.

@@brandongarland1841 Yeah most people find it boring (incl me). Maybe long walks outdoors? With people is more fun.

@@brandongarland1841 I watch tv while I walk. Without that, there is no way I could walk on a treadmill.

@@brandongarland1841really? I love it! Those 30-60 minutes sweating on the cross trainer (sometimes also stationary bike) are a total highlight for me! 😅

Close but wrong

@@Onguard8737 you said close but wrong but didn't even say what he got wrong or correct him. What would you say is better cause I would like to know?

I agree, the broscience is strong with this one

@@akiraasmr3002 bro running all the time doesn’t make you skinny fat.

Thankyou very much for this informative fact sir

If one is already overweight, strength training alone won't burn hardly any fat. You have to do a ton of cardio or you'll just end up looking like a fat strongman competitor.

joe louden false

@@ericastewart994 One pound of muscle only burns 6 calories per day, which is only 4 more calories than a pound of fat does. Strongman athletes, powerlifters, and Olympic lifters get weaker when they do aerobic exercise, which is why they don't. Calorie burn from exercise is measured in METs and strength training has low very low MET levels. Long-duration, moderate and high-intensity cardio have the highest MET ratings.

@@joelouden6592 not true.. I was 121 kilos 6’3 and I’ve only been doing weightlifting for 2 months and I’m down to 113 kilos. Although, I have completely cut out junk food and only drink water and milk.

Well weight lifting is better for sustained weight loss because you continue to burn calories after the workout where as cardio doesn’t continue after the workout as much as weight training does

@@Phantom_Anthem Weight lifting burns calories after working out? I didn’t know that, please enlighten me on the topic.

@@videogameplayer0552 serious or sarcasm? Cause the latter part sounds sarcastic lol

@@Phantom_Anthem Not sarcasm at all. I’m asking a serious question.

@@videogameplayer0552 oh, well I don’t know the science of it exactly you’d have to look it up, I just remember that when you do strength training the act that goes into building muscle makes you continue to burn calories and it also raises you RMR which means your daily calorie burn is higher which is good. Cardio doesn’t have this same effect

Weight lifting is wat raster

What is watter ?

@@lean2281 of the grammar nazi.

​@@lean2281 Wasser.

Yes I get tired and stressed after cardio session.

But the effects of stress hormones on significant weight isn’t as profound as you make it sound

I find that cardio reduces my stress levels though..

@@emilyb9261 It reduces your mental stress, not your physical stress.

The fat burn from muscle gain is minimal. Need to stop peddling this nonsense for people who want to lose fat.

This! People always mention weight loss when you could be losing muscle and not fat, more videos need to start calling it fat loss.

This is the comment I was looking for 👍

Yup i am watching too many training videos but doing nothing..

Hunter 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂✋

Any progress?

Pls share

As of today 25.12.2023 i am 85.50kg. I do continue with Keto diet and now i can see a massive change . Next week it will be exactly 3 months since i started so really happy with progress. Also inhave cut down on cardio. I no longer do cardio only the walk take me to gym and back home which is roughly 30 mins walk thats all. I feel great and honestly all you need a proper discipline for 3 months. Nothing crazy. Just gym and watch your calorie. Simple as that.

Forgot to mention i go to gym max 4 or 5 times a week from beginning of month 2. I realised how important resting is. So no need to go 6 days or 7 days a week. Just enjoy while doing it.

there is something called pre workout which is necessary to eat atleast 2 hours before your workout

@@faheemahmedsyed you can do that if you want to gain muscles.

@@StiffShot so u mean i can lift without eating anything before lifting? don’t u think that would make me feel less energetic during my session ?

@@faheemahmedsyed I don’t know how your body will react. You should try it first and see if you feel less energetic. I’ve been doing it for months. I got used to it. Oh, and I drink protein powder before I lift weights. I just don’t eat any heavy meals like eggs or meats. Just the protein shake.

@@StiffShot oh i see but sadly i don’t have protein powderr💔 anything else i can try?

I do weights then cardio after

Yeah

I lifted weights for months and it doesn’t really help you lose weight that much it helps you gain muscle yea you lose some weight but not the weight you wanna lose but running helps you burn you burn what body fat you have.

@@kenyonmckee2268 totally agree!

@@kenyonmckee2268 the reason you’re not losing that much weight is because you’re losing body fat and gaining muscle and who wouldn’t want that!

@@kenyonmckee2268 thank you very advice able

U got me at sleep well

@@sincerebrooks5371 honestly

This is excellent 👍🏽

@@yasminhusain213 Thank you But now I have changed it a little bit 5 minute warm exercises 10 minutes dynamic stretching 15 minutes gymnastics 45 minutes weight training 15 minutes boxing & kickboxing

to help with the weight loss i honestly recommended incorporating more cardio into your workouts. u should probably do 4 days of cardio and 2 days of weights then a rest day for the best results. also refrain from constantly weighing yourself bc that will put u in a constant cycle of checking the scale and shutting down when it’s not the weight u want. regardless weight loss is going to take time so weighing urself constantly is not ideal. stay in ur calorie deficit maybe even cut off an extra 100 and eat more cardio with weights and trust me in a month or two u will see the weight melt off of u.

As a female I don't believe weightlifting is a great tool for weightloss . I think cardio and hiit workouts are the best and then when you're closer to your goal weight you can start strength training for toning .

What You Need To Do: I hate to tell you this but I think you need to do weight training atleast 3 to 4 days a week. 2 days a week is not enough. Make sure you’re actually challenging yourself with the weights- increase the weight of you find it too easy. For instance if you do bicep curls with 8lb dumbbells and you’re not struggling by your 12th rep- you’re not doing it right. Try to shoot for 3 sets of 12 reps of each exercise.And you should walk 10 000 steps every day ( start with every other day first and build up). You’ll see a difference. Also watch your diet- eat enough protein , otherwise your body will break down muscle.You can never out train a bad diet. Why this works : muscle burns more calories than fat. So if you weight train - in the beginning you will gain more weight - that’s because your putting on muscle, which is also denser / heavier than fat. So by weight training - you’re burning muscle during the workout and even after because your muscles are using calories to just exist. Muscles use up the most calories. The 10 000 steps is a gentle cardio exercise to aid in your weight loss. Cardio doesn’t help put on muscle so it’s just focused on burning calories. So you only burn calories during the work out. Also walking is a nice gentle cardio to start off with

Are you sure that you’re consistently eating 1800-1900? People tend to underestimate their calories / food intake. Edit: what about exercise besides 2x weight lifting. Are you sedentary or active? Adding some cardio may help, tbh. Especially if you lead a mostly sedentary life style.

Its simple, based on your information (Sedentary life) you need 2100 calories to maintain your weight In order to lose weight you need to eat 1600 calories to lose 1.1pound a week 1100 calories to lose 2 pounds a week Now I suggest you don’t go crazy on the weights, because muscle weight will go up, so make it light to medium lifting 20-30 minutes is enough to see results in time OR you can do walking, its much easier than weights and its a hospital for your body, , 1 hour of brisk walking daily is good. You will burn extra 250-300 calories, meaning you get to eat more 250 calories on top of your calories goal, or just leave it be and lose more weight! Make sure you nourish your body well within those calories eat a variety of food Meat or fish Eggs 1 type of legumes 2 types of whole grain Fruits and berries Vegetables and herbs Yogurt

Its been suggested by my friends/family who follow a similar fasting schedule to NOT lift weights and to simply keep eating the same way you were before. Or, consider carb loading if you will lift weights. Just my personal two cents

@@zzgigs ty, I appreciate your feedback fam

Quick question Ally shaw & Jon Manriquez, could you help me with any advice, tips, or suggestions I need help with figuring out a time schedule for fasting I work 2nd shift at my workplace I go in at 3pm-11pm, whenever I try to do cardio and weight lifting the scale keeps going on, my main goal is weight loss any help ?

​@@midwestguy12 You probably need to attain a calorie deficit that's when you will see results.

You need some cardio even if it’s 30 min daily. Your heart muscle is more important than your bicep muscle.

Sounds great! Check out your bmi to see if you're in a healthy range

There is no way to spot treat love handles or belly fat. Overall weight loss would do that. I say keep your weightlifting program but do cardio on your rest days. That's what I do

@@rudysmokinog8915 How many days a week do you work out? I'm doing 4 now and I don't know if I can fit in anymore.

@@stoneyj1a1 I'm doing 4 days of lifting and Sunday is my cardio day... If you dont have alot of time try to finish off the days that you do work out with some cardio. Doesn't have to be nothing crazy man

@@stoneyj1a1 or you can try shadowboxing every morning before you start your day. (Cardio sucks)

But what are you eating… I doubt it’s your activity level… it’s probably your diet.

Handsome hy?😂😂

Bro?

thats what you should do..cardio using weights..but nobody gets it.

thanks, tried this. got to the end of the street and dopped the barbell on to my shins

@@danielwatson6529 Pace yourself and don't do it so often. It can damage joints and exhausts if done too excesively.😊

@@danielwatson6529 😂

@@danielwatson6529 I think they meant cardio with weights like hitt, not necessarily running with weights... that’s just dangerous and silly.

yes

shut the fuck up. nobody at 300lbs can run five miles a day. piss off

@@3sjstill438 😂😂

hey not everybody here are idiots to believe you . You sir , will never in a million years get stronger with five miles a day..dream on pal.

@@3sjstill438 he probably walked

You’re 180!! That’s like, pretty old dude

Hey..I am assuming that you tried all those steps like staying in a calorie deficit, Exercise etc. If yes then make sure that you are not stressed? Because Cortisol can increase your weight. Also, I'd recommend you to get your thyroid levels checked. In my case that was the reason why I was gaining weight and depressed.

Lift then cardio after

Can't go to the gym and can't afford whights but want to loose weight

Bullshit. Running doesn't make people frail and weak. The reason you see skinny, thin marathon champions is because genetically skinny, thin people do very well at marathon running. There are 220-pound marathoners who run 80+ miles a week.

Excessive cardio reduces testosterone in men and it's viable for muscle loss

@@mambamentality2663 Excessive EXERCISE reduces testosterone, including strength training. Both long-duration, moderate cardio and short, high-intensity cardio cause an increase in testosterone just like strength training. Overtraining in bodybuilding will cause the same drop in testosterone as overtraining in endurance activities, and sometimes even more so due to muscle inflammation/cortisol. Plus, the testicles put out the same testosterone pulse regardless of body size. So a man carrying excess muscle will have a smaller amount of natural testosterone at any given time than a man with the same size frame carrying less muscle/weight. Even very lean muscle mass has fat mixed in with it and fat releases hormones like aromatase that converts testosterone into estrogen. All of the above is why bodybuilders and large strength athletes take steroids.
