The scientific evidence supporting the inclusion of resistance training as part of a healthy lifestyle is now indisputable. Whilst...

This assumption is based on the premise that aerobic-based exercise substantially increases total daily energy expenditure...

To achieve weight or fat loss there must be an energy or caloric deficit. Over 80 years of scientific research has confirmed this to be fact. FitGreyStrong Advice: Don’t believe the hype. Food quality is a must and essential to good health....
