There is no one-size-fits-all solution! We all have different metabolism, therefore our approaches to weight loss must be tweaked to meet our individual needs. My husband has a physical disability and he is unable to walk or bike, etc. for cardio. Instead he focused on strength training alone and dropped 35 pounds. Here is…
