3 Strength Training Tips for Better Fat Loss

If fat loss is your goal, you don’t need more cardio — you need better strength training.

Here are three simple but very effective things you can add to your current training to improve fat loss results.

1. Add Kettlebell Swings

Kettlebell swings are one of the best tools for fat loss.

They drive your heart rate up, improve work capacity, and boost metabolism — without beating you up.

They won’t leave you sore.

They won’t drain you.

If anything, most people feel better after them.

2. Train Upper + Lower Together

Body-part splits have their place, but if you want to ramp up fat loss, start pairing movements.

Think:

• Squat → Press

• RDL → Row

Upper/lower combinations increase training density, raise heart rate, and get more done in less time — all while building real strength, reducing soreness and adding variety in your training.

3. Add Weighted Carries

Weighted carries are one of the most neglected tools in strength training — and one of the most effective.

What muscles are you working during a heavy carry?

All of them.

Your grip, arms, core, legs, posture, and lungs are all working at once.

Simple. Brutally effective. Highly underused for fat loss.

These 3 simple changes in your training can make your training more effective for fat loss, and it will make you feel awesome overall.

In summary:
1. Add in Kettlebell Swings
2. Train Upper/Body with Full Body Focus
3. Add Weighted Carries

Give it a try, I guarantee these 3 changes will improve your fat loss and spice up your workouts.
