At Detroit Strong, I believe in results built on consistency, intensity, and smart training. Let's break down the workouts that will help you burn fat, build lean muscle, and keep the weight off for good.
You've heard it before - muscle burns fat, and it's true. Strength training helps increase your lean muscle mass, which boosts your metabolism and helps you burn calories even at rest.
You don't need to lift like a powerlifter - even full-body workouts with dumbbells, resistance bands. or your own bodyweight can transform your physique.
Pro Tip: Focus on compound movements like squats, deadlifts, push-ups and rows. They target multiple muscles at once and torch calories.
HIIT workouts are short, powerful and incredibly effective for fat loss. By alternating between bursts of intense effort and short recovery periods, HIIT keeps your heart rate elevated - leading to maximum calorie burn in minimal time.
Think sprint intervals, circuit training, or timed bodyweight workouts.
You'll not only burn fat during the workout, but your body will keep burning calories for hours afterward thanks to the afterburn effect.
While HIIT gets the spotlight, steady-state cardio - like brisk walking, cycling, or jogging - still plays an important role in weight loss. It's easy on your joints, reduces stress, and improves endurance.
Combine 2-3 days of moderate cardio with your strength or HIIT sessions for a balanced, sustainable approach.
Workouts that challenge balance, stability, and coordination help you move better and burn more energy.
Incorporate exercises like planks, kettlebell swings, and medicine ball slams. These workouts engage your core and improve performance in both the gym and daily life.
If you struggle with motivation or consistency, training with others can make all the difference.
At Detroit Strong, our personal and small group sessions are built to keep you accountable, challenged and supported.
You'll train harder, stay consistent, and see results faster - all while being part of a community that's focused on progress, not perfection.
