Hey guys!
Andrea here.
I think weightlifting can sometimes get a bed rep since on your apple watch it doesn't show that you burn as many "calories" if you're doing weightlifting vs cardio. Here's the thing, you will generally burn more calories during your workout when doing cardio HOWEVER lean muscle mass helps to increase your metabolism which in turn helps you burn more calories throughout the entire day. Strength training is awesome because it also increases and enhances your quality of life. I like to think of muscle as the "armor" of the body. You wouldn't want to go to battle without armor right? Same thing here. Don't go through each day without it. Muscle is great for longevity, decreases your risk of injury and falls, improves heart health, manages your blood sugar levels and more. Don't be scared of lifting those weights and challenging yourself each day. Weightlifting is GOOD!
