The strength versus cardio debate irks me endlessly — and as a personal trainer, I'm asked about it frequently. Which should you prioritize? My answer is always the same: that it entirely depends on what you enjoy doing and your fitness goals.
But, a common misconception I come across is that cardio is always superior to resistance training for burning fat. It looks like the research is onside with me, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis (scientific terms that basically mean assessing studies and analyzing data) published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.
