Is cardio required for fat loss?

Uncategorized May 05, 2021

One question we get asked all the time is what kind of cardio we recommend if fat loss is the number one goal.

As you can see, this is our roundabout way of saying that cardio is not the most important factor for achieving fat loss. In fact, it's one of the least important factors!

Nutrition is truly the foundation of a healthy, strong body... because we can't out exercise an unbalanced diet. If we're eating more than we're burning and we're not actively strength training, the additional calories will be stored as body fat. That's why focusing on cardio only is the least effective approach.

What our members are saying:

"I love the Green Door life. They care about you, they make their program personalized and they are so well educated in this topic that what they say works!

After the first two weeks in this program my 'brain fog' lifted, I was more energized and I was happier than I'd been in 2 years.

After the first month I was confident in myself again. After the first 3 months my body had transformed and everyone noticed the change this course made. Thank you!"

"Though I battled with lifelong weight, image, and self worth issues related to size, Shannon and Lisa were able to get through to me using a holistic approach to physical health. Not only did I receive top notch personal coaching in fitness and nutrition, they counseled me so I could overcome the psychological aspects of weight loss.

Additionally, they coached me through becoming and staying sober. GDL gently kept my goals in front of me, provided a safe and professional space to vent or celebrate, and helped me develop lifelong skills to maintaining my personal health."

Discover Your Enneagram:

June 30th at 10am Pacific

Whether you're a current member or new to The Green Door Life, we invite you to join us on Wednesday, June 30th at 10am Pacific for a free workshop all about enneagrams! Anastasia Sauvage will lead us through a 60-minute class via Zoom, which you can join from anywhere.

The Enneagram is a unique personality typology representing nine fundamental strategies for relating to ourselves, others, and the world. Different from other typologies, it shows us the box and the way out rather than defining us as a limited “type.”

In this workshop, you’ll learn about the nine personality types of the Enneagram. Are you The Perfectionist, The Helper, The Achiever, The Individualist, The Investigator, The Loyal Skeptic, The Enthusiast, The Challenger, or The Mediator?

Understand the underlying motives that drive WHY you do what you do and stop running on autopilot. Identify and capitalize on your strengths, cultivate fulfilling relationships, and build a deep sense of self-awareness that will serve you for the rest of your life.

You are welcome to take the Enneagram Test to discover your type before the workshop, but it is not required.
