## Resource

Episode Description: I'm sure you've said this before. Maybe you've heard somebody say it before: "I want to lose more weight, so I need to do more cardio." This seems to be the answer for a lot of these issues: changing body fat - more cardio; I've gained weight - more cardio. Let's look at why this might not be a great way to go. What We're Covering: How do we look at strength training? The problem with the burn more mindset What about "the afterburn" aka EPOC Body burning versus body building What did I just build?
