That old question, cardio or weights to get rid of love handles?

Cardio or weight training for ab fat? What’s going to burn off your waist fat faster and give you permanent fat loss?

Opinions are of course divided and if you want to tone up and drop weight, the best place to start is just walking your butt off.

However, if you do a routine that mixes up cardio and weights in a single workout you’ll want to know.

Cardio first or weights first.

And if you look around any gym, you’ll see heaps of people obviously getting it wrong.

Very wrong.

What are people getting wrong at the gym re their loose belly fat?

Well, it comes down 3 very basic things.

Firstly, they are not following a program of exercise to suit their natural body type (somatotype), but hopping around from machine to machine just having a bit of a puff and raising a little sweat over machines that look interesting or easy.

Related to this, they are not considering their purpose for exercising. Folk who want to lose belly fat and gain impressive muscle mass need a very different workout than people who want to burn off waist fat and look lean and toned.

Secondly, many people in the gym use poor form. They cheat their workout without even realising it by going fast and furious with the weights or by setting long or even short distance cardio at such a pitifully low rate that they burn barely any calories.

Thirdly, heaps of people you will see in the gym who have a program of cardio + weights in a single workout do their cardio first and follow that up with their weight training program.

Why might cardio first be a bad idea to get rid of love handles?
