9. Can I get in shape with strength training alone?
Strength training should take precedence over endurance training. Why? You indeed burn calories with endurance training, and of course that you lose weight with a calorie deficit. But low body weight and body fat alone do not make a dream figure.
Trained muscles are a prerequisite for a firm body because they give the body its shape. If your muscles are untrained, you may look slim but still, look rather flabby. Besides, strength training strengthens the connective tissue. Goodbye cellulite, hello crisp contours!
