RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Cardio is essential for body fat loss. Doing strength training too will accelerate that loss. Strength training burns 4x more calories than cardio, and keeps your metabolism (how fast you burn cal) high for 24-36hrs (cardio only 2hrs). Most effective strength exercising for a man or woman looking to lose body fat and/or tone up is HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING.
