Strength training can help you lose weight too - a podcast by RNZ

It's drilled into many of us that to shift kilograms, you need to start pounding the pavement. However, a new study out of Australia reports you can lose a percentage of body fat through strength training alone that is similar to weight loss through cardio or aerobics.

She's with us to explain the research and how strength conditioning can be used for weight loss.
