Hey you! Get off the treadmill if you’re trying to lose fat by burning calories.

If you want the most bang for your buck when it comes to calorie burn, here’s the deal:

Focus on building FULL BODY STRENGTH.

How the heck do you do that?
I’m so glad you asked!

You use exercises called COMPOUND exercises.

They use multiple joints, all at the same time, and you can load ‘em up with heavy weights! Here’s what we’re talking about:

Doing these compound lifts amplifies your fat loss efforts in 2 ways.

1. You’re building muscle for the long term! Muscle burns more calories than body fat does. Doing endless cardio DOES NOT build muscle. You’re working against yourself.

2. You’re burning more calories by causing muscle damage. Long after your workout with these exercises is over, your calorie-burning furnace is still stoked doing work to repair those muscle fibers.

But let’s be clear.

You can’t eat pizza every night and count on squats to bail you out.

You better be paying attention to your nutrition too if you’re serious about making real progress.
