Running is one of the worst ways to lose weight. If you're trying to lose 15-80lbs.. don't do cardio. Do these 5 things instead:

1.) Resistance Training - You don't want to just lose "weight" - You want to lose FAT specifically Strength training will ensure you keep muscle so you get leaner with each pound you lose.

- Shoot for 3-4 sessions per week - Hit each muscle group - Stick to the 6-12 rep range - Take your sets within a rep of failure

2.) Protein-Dominant Meals Aim for 0.8-1.0g of protein per lb of current bodyweight each day. - You'll stay full, for fewer calories - You'll have faster muscle recovery - And you'll see more muscle growth

3.) Protect Your Sleep Sleep is foundational. Everything falls apart without it: - You'll have zero willpower - You'll have worse cravings - You'll have a slower metabolism In addition to slower recovery, weaker workouts, and low energy.

Fix it by: - No food 2 hours before bed - No blue light 2 hours before bed - Keeping your bedroom dark and cold - Having the same bedtime and waketime 7 days per week - Supplementing with glycine, L-Theanine, and magnesium

4.) Maintaining a Weekly Calorie Deficit You will NEVER lose fat if you're consuming more calories than you burn. (If you spend hours on the treadmill, but never lose weight... this is why)

- Use a TDEE calculator to determine estimated daily burn - Subtract 500 calories - Use this NEW number as your maximum allowed calories each day

5.) Keep Alcohol to a Minimum Alcohol shuts down your body's fat-burning ability. (In addition to being empty calories)

If you like to drink: - Clear alcohols are best (Tequila, Vodka..) - Stick to a maximum of 3-4 drinks per week - Mix in Non-Alcohol versions between your actual drinks - Make sure you're adding the calories to your daily intake

If you're a busy professional with belly fat: Work with me 1 on 1 and I'll guarantee you: - Lose 15-80lbs - Get a flat stomach - And build a stronger, more-toned physique Apply here or DM me "PRO" for info: http://www.BellyFatProgram.com

@AskCoachKev Cardio is always good for your health

@LoubatYannis I never said it wasn’t

@AskCoachKev This is bad advice

@JohnOtheChamp Cardio is great for heart health. Cardio is not a great method for losing fat.

@AskCoachKev @tipsformenx Don’t do cardio 🤣🤣🤣🤣 what?! You burn more in one hour walking than you do in a lift 🤣🤣🤣

@hu8139 @tipsformenx The calories you burn from an hour of exercise, regardless of what kind, is totally negligible.

@AskCoachKev Well said. Running can help you burn calories and improve health and fitness, but it shouldn't be the go-to form of exercise to burn fat. Prioritise lifting weights and doing 'some' cardio.

@AskCoachKev A heavy cardio workout a few times a week is an excellent way to maintain a calorie deficit, improve your sleep, your blood circulation and improve your body’s overall health. Do not disregard your cardiovascular health.

@AskCoachKev Yeah, that’s why all runners are fat right? Right?!?

@AskCoachKev As an expert, this is literally the worst advice.

@AskCoachKev I run and I do resistance training. You burn far more calories per hour resistance training then running if you are giving appropriate effort during resistance training. I agree resistance training and calorie deficit > cardio for fat/weight loss.

@AskCoachKev This fake news is sacrilege. Stop posting lies or keep getting flagged.

@AskCoachKev Don’t do cardio, do 24 hours fasting once a week. If you can say no to food for one day a week, you can do everything else.

@AskCoachKev Great tips

@AskCoachKev Is that Chris Christie?😂

@AskCoachKev Do you ever see fat runners?

@AskCoachKev Wrong. Do cardo as well. It has major benefits aside of weight loss, so do it anyway

@AskCoachKev Don’t talk rubbish..Running is one of the worst ways to lose weight.what a load of absolute garbage!!!!
