Strength training vs. cardio: which should you choose for weight loss?<\/h2>\n

This is the question our personal trainers in Morges<\/strong> hear almost every week at Society Sport Lonay<\/a>: Should I do strength training or cardio to lose weight? And the honest answer is: both\u2014but not just any way.<\/p>\n

In this article, we debunk common myths, explain what the science really says, and show you how to intelligently combine strength training and cardio at our gym in Lonay<\/strong> for concrete, lasting results.<\/p>\n

Ce que dit vraiment la science sur la perte de poids<\/h3>\n

Avant de choisir entre musculation et cardio, il faut comprendre un principe fondamental : la perte de poids d\u00e9pend avant tout d’un d\u00e9ficit calorique. En d’autres termes, vous devez br\u00fbler plus de calories que vous n’en consommez. C’est aussi simple \u2014 et aussi complexe \u2014 que \u00e7a.<\/p>\n

According to the World Health Organization<\/a>, regular physical activity combined with a balanced diet remains the most effective and sustainable method for losing weight. Neither strength training alone nor cardio alone is sufficient\u2014it is their intelligent combination that yields the best results.<\/p>\n

Cela dit, musculation et cardio ne br\u00fblent pas les calories de la m\u00eame fa\u00e7on. Et c’est l\u00e0 que \u00e7a devient vraiment int\u00e9ressant.<\/p>\n

Le cardio : efficace \u00e0 court terme<\/h3>\n

Cardio\u2014whether running, cycling, or taking a spinning<\/a> class at our fitness center in Lonay<\/strong>\u2014burns a lot of calories during the workout. That is its major advantage.<\/p>\n

A 45-minute spinning session at our fitness club in Lonay<\/strong> can burn between 400 and 600 calories, depending on your intensity. Similarly, a circuit training<\/a> or full-body<\/a> workout combines cardio and strength training to maximize energy expenditure during the session.<\/p>\n

Cependant, le cardio pr\u00e9sente une limite importante : une fois la s\u00e9ance termin\u00e9e, votre m\u00e9tabolisme revient rapidement \u00e0 son niveau de base. Autrement dit, vous ne br\u00fblez plus de calories suppl\u00e9mentaires apr\u00e8s l’effort \u2014 ou tr\u00e8s peu. C’est ce qu’on appelle l’absence d’effet afterburn.<\/p>\n
