I'm actually getting stronger.

Now, the last-

big issue is improper exercise focus, in particular cardio focus.

So all different versions or forms of exercise have specific types of value.

In the case of weight loss, the number one consideration is preserving muscle.

The only form of exercise you should focus on or the one that does that is strength training.

All the other ones don't do this.

In fact, all the other ones may actually contribute to some muscle loss, in particular cardiovascular focus.

Now, the problem is, is cardio has been labeled incorrectly as the fat loss form of exercise.

By the way, we have studies that compare strength training to cardio in a low calorie diet, head to head.

And guess which one wins at pure fat loss?

Strength training.

So strength training should properly be labeled, not just as the form of exercise to build muscle, but also as the best form of exercise for pure fat loss.

So your focus should be strength training.

It should not be on other forms of exercise and definitely not on cardio.

And if you're in a low calorie diet,

and you're on a GLP in particular, or you're just eating really low calories and you have limited recovery, limited ability to handle stress.

It's counterproductive.

Don't throw a bunch of forms of exercise at yourself.

Focus on strength training.
