Strength Training Leads to Weight Loss


According to a University of Memphis study, squats and other large muscle strength-building exercises like lunges, rowing, and overhead presses are as useful a tool for weight loss as cardiovascular exercises, like cycling or running. This may be because while cardio burns more calories, strength-training builds muscle and muscle burns more calories than body fat.
