CV vs Met-Con to Lose Fat
1. It takes at least twice as much cardio time to burn the same amount of calories as with sprint training.
2. cardio doesn’t build lean muscle mass and may cause you to lose muscle in the long run, lowering your metabolism.
3. Cardio doesn’t produce as much of an after burn as Met-Con training burns more calories in the 24 hours after you exercise.
4. cardio can lead to an elevation in the stress hormone cortisol, which leads to a worse body composition, Met-Con training elevates hormones that build muscle and burn fat.
5. The benefit of building muscle is that your hard work lasts longer if you quit exercising: A study that tested what happens when subjects stopped exercising for 3 months after doing aerobic or resistance exercise found that a resistance training group maintained improvements in strength, muscle, and cardiovascular fitness longer than an endurance group.
6. Over the long term, the body responds to aerobic training by losing muscle because it causes elevations in the stress hormone cortisol, which degrades tissue. Anaerobic training typically leads to gains in muscle and loss of fat due to elevations in favorable hormones such as growth hormone and testosterone.
