Don't get caught up in wanting a high calorie burn from your workout.

When it comes to lifting weights, it won't show much of a burn.

Cardio shows a higher burn than weights. With cardio, what you see is what you get for the calorie burn. When you stop exercising, that's it.

Lifting is different. Your HRM (heart rate monitor) will not show the after burn you get from weights. It will typically show a lower burn during your your workout, when compared to cardio.

BUT with weights you will burn calories all day long AFTER your workout.

Don't let that frustrate you! Your HRM does not show the full picture.

It's also the same with HIIT type workouts.

You want to build muscle. Muscle burns calories all day long, even at rest.

HRM are useful for cardio workouts because it will show when your body is beginning to adapt.

Don't compare cardio to lifting. It's like comparing apples and bananas. 

Even different types of lifting phases will show different burns. Leg days, supersets will show higher but don't be fooled! 

All phases are important and should have a place in your lifting periodization.

Cardio for fun. Weights to transform.

Weights will transform your body.

Muscle will make you a calorie burning machine.
