It's like going to the grocery store to buy toothpaste. You walk into the store knowing you need it but when you look around there's a whole entire isle full of options. How do you know which one you should pick? Is there really that big of a difference?

The answer is yes, it does.

How do you know which method is best for you? The key to finding what type of fitness training is for you is by first figuring out what you want your outcome to be.

What outcome do YOU want?
Improving Body Composition
In order to improve body composition, you have to do resistance training. This raises your BMR (basal metabolic rate), which is the amount of fat calories your body burns while at rest. Your BMR is higher during rest after weight training than after cardio alone, so you can see why resistance training is so crucial. How do you accomplish this?

Weights
Kettlebells
Bands
Bodyweight

Improving Functionality and Movement
Do you feel like you aren't moving as well as you used to? Are you stuck sitting 8 hours a day? How do you improve this?
