Is it better to focus on cardio or strength training for weight loss?

If you want to lose your weight, should you focus on cardio exercise or strength training? Well, as far as I know both cardio and strength training are important for weight loss. While cardio burns calories during the workout, strength training helps build muscle mass, which can boost metabolism and aid in long-term weight management. Combining both types of exercise in your routine is ideal for optimal results.

When my mother was trying to lose weight, exercise was very difficult for her, so she only did cardio exercises, and this helped her lose weight really quickly, but she did not need to pump muscles

What you are going to achieve if you are involved in strength training is being strong because you will be developing muscles at strategic parts in your body but if you are interested in losing weights, it is better for you to be involved in more of cardio exercise because that is what helps you to lose weight.

When it comes to weight loss, a combination of both cardio exercise and strength training is ideal. Cardio exercises like running, cycling, or swimming help burn calories and improve heart health, while strength training builds muscle mass, which increases metabolism and burns more calories at rest.

Strength training would help with improved metabolism which would burn up excess calories very fast for the weight loss journey to be very effective.
