Episode 2611:

JC Deen of JCDFitness.com explains the best approach to cardio for weight loss, emphasizing that while cardio isn't mandatory, incorporating light activities like walking can aid fat loss. He highlights the importance of maintaining a caloric deficit over fixating on specific heart rate zones and warns against overdoing cardio due to sustainability, injury risk, and stress hormone imbalance.

Quotes to ponder:

"At the end of the day, no cardio is required, but adding in some form of movement, even if it’s just walking, can help you burn more calories and lose fat more efficiently and quickly."

"It’s not worth worrying about because our bodies burn fat all the time."

"If your answer is no, it’s time to rethink the approach."
