If you ever needed more convincing on the power of weight training you should be sold by the end of this episode. John reviews a study on cardio alone or cardio with weights in obese teens and the results are mindblowing. The applications portion of the episode is about the power of weight training and the old saying that if kids are active enough they'll "burn it off" when it comes to junk food. John always reviews the full text of every article, but to see the abstract of the study discussed, click here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23868679
