Cardio training (also known as aerobic exercise) tends to burn more calories than resistance or strength training. So, exercises like jumping rope, running, walking, and cycling, are often best for shedding pounds. However, don’t neglect resistance workouts, such as weightlifting. These activities tend to burn fewer calories than cardio, but they do build muscle mass. It’s also worth noting that, depending on your body’s unique needs and your current eating habits, exercise alone may not be enough to lose weight. Consider adjusting your dietary habits in addition to increasing your physical activity.
