Muscle vs. Cardio

The body prioritizes energy efficiency, often leading to muscle loss when excessive cardio is performed without adequate resistance training. When calorie intake is restricted and cardio is emphasized, the body adapts by shedding muscle, which can be frustrating for those aiming for fat loss. Proper weight training signals the body to maintain muscle, making it essential for achieving fitness goals.
