do people still use cardio for weight loss ?

Question

all i see on instagram or tik tok now a days is women lifting weights to lose weight and i was wondering is it enough to do just cardio for my weight loss journey ? some days i do leg press and ab machine then i do treadmill/bike/elliptical as well. is splitting both up good enough ? this stigma sorta makes me feel like i’m not doing enough and i should get in front of the gym (social anxiety) where the weights are and start lifting lol help :/

Answer

Cardio and calorie deficit will work just fine. Weight lifting helps shape and burn additional calories. But you can lose doing just cardio until you’re more comfortable to lift.

Answer

A calorie deficit will help you lose weight.
Lifting weights will build muscle, cardio will help improve heart health and cardiovascular function and build stamina and some muscle too.
Whatever type of exercise/movement that you enjoy doing is what is best for you. What works for one person likely won’t work the same way for another, everyone’s needs are individual.

Answer

Both are good ways to lose weight.
Cardio burns calories and helps put you in a caloric deficit.
Weight lifting builds muscles and muscles burn more calories then fat. Also helps your body tone up.
Do whatever you like and what your comfortable with. Just doing cardio is fine.

Answer

I mainly do cardio, not just for weight loss but also just to increase my fitness. But I have noticed since changing my eating habits (slightly, I'm a bit weak willed when it comes to food) and working out, my waist and hips are slimmer. I work on the treadmill as well as the rowing machine, then I do a quick yoga and pilates YouTube video about three times a week. Finally, I also do workouts on a vibrating platform. I'm starting to see some toning.
