Should you be doing high reps and lower weight if your goal is fat loss? In our this podcast episode, Craig answers this question once and for all.
Craig and I dig into the #1 thing that will have the most impact on fat loss, how muscle maintenance or growth effectively supports this, what goes into building muscle, the importance of muscle as we age, and common mistakes many women make.
