Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best exercise to lose belly fat?
Spot reduction is a myth. Focus on overall fat loss through a calorie deficit and full-body workouts. As body fat decreases, belly fat will reduce.
Should I do cardio or weights for fat loss?
Both! Weight training preserves muscle and boosts metabolism, while cardio burns additional calories. A combination is most effective.
How much exercise do I need to lose weight?
Aim for 3-5 workouts per week, combining strength training and cardio. However, diet is the primary driver of weight loss - you cant out-exercise a bad diet.
