How Does Functional Fitness Help With Weight Loss?
Aerobic exercise and resistance training, according to a recent study, both decrease body fat percentage.
In the study, the group that participated in aerobics gained all their fat back lost all progress in strength and endurance after only 6 months of returning to normal patterns.
The resistance crowd, after 6 months of stopping the program, maintained much of its progress and didn’t gain back as much fat. This all seems to say one thing: fat loss and body composition changes aren’t the byproduct of simply exerting oneself in burning off calories at the gym. It takes more than that.
The good news: it's never too late to start a new chapter. Even when it comes to your fitness.
