People always ask: “Should I do cardio to burn fat?” My answer? It depends—but cardio alone isn’t the magic bullet. It helps, but nutrition and strength training still lead the way.
What cardio does best is improve your heart health, burn calories, and support a calorie deficit. I love using short HIIT sessions or brisk walking with clients. It’s effective, and it doesn’t need to be extreme to work.
Mix steady-state cardio (like walking or cycling) with strength workouts. And most importantly—do something you enjoy. That’s what sticks.
