Lifting weights also appears to help reduce the amount of fat surrounding the heart. A small July 2019 study published in JAMA Cardiology found that participants who completed three, 45-minute strength-training sessions a week for 12 weeks reduced a specific type of heart fat called pericardial adipose tissue by 31%.
Those who did aerobic exercise for the same amount of time only saw an 11% reduction. The researchers also noted that both types of exercise reduced another type of heart fat, called epicardial adipose tissue.

Effect of Aerobic and Resistance Exercise on Cardiac Adipose Tissues
This secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial assesses whether a 12-week endurance or resistance training intervention can regulate epicardial and pericardial adipose tissue mass.
