“If you’re looking to get lean, it makes sense you’d want to focus on doing your favorite\u00a0cardio exercises<\/a>, but hitting the weight room is what’s ultimately going to help you burn more fat and\u00a0build muscle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s because the weight loss you see from doing cardio and endurance training doesn’t just come from fat; it also includes muscle tissue, according to a 2017 study in \u200bAdvances in Nutrition<\/a>.<\/em>\u200b And you want to build and maintain muscle tissue because it not only looks good and does good for your body \u2014 it’s metabolically active. That means it increases your calorie burn even at rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feet-Elevated Push-Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Leg exercises are great for burning calories but don’t forget about your upper body. Feet-elevated push-ups work well for getting lean because they add another level of intensity to the classic\u00a0push-up exercise<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By elevating your feet, you put even more strain on your chest, shoulders, and triceps, says certified personal trainer\u00a0Joey Thurman, CPT. Plus, feet-elevated push-ups can be done in the comfort of your home, like on a couch, box, or bench.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
