Today, I want to talk to you about exercise. Should you do cardio for weight loss? Exercise only contributes 15% of your results with weight loss. The majority of your results will come from the diet.


There are basically two types of exercise for weight loss:

 • Aerobic — Low Intensity (with oxygen)

 • Anaerobic — High intensity (without oxygen)


Aerobic exercise:

An example would be walking.

 • Fat burning effects occur after 25 minutes 

 • Low-stress type of exercise 


Anaerobic exercise:

An example would be HIIT

 • You’re working out 20-40 minutes

 • Fat burning effects occur 24-48 hours after the workout during sleep


Some barriers you may run into:   

• What you eat   • Sleep (you need sleep)  • Quantity of exercise   • Intensity (needs to be adjusted to your recovery)  • Frequency   • Recovery (the benefit of exercise occurs in the recovery phase)  • Stress
