I'm confused.
I thought to lose fat and burn calories you had to do regular cardio exercise, to get your heart rate going, and burn off the weight.
I have avoided doing weights, or using the equipment at the gym because I thought I should lose the weight first before I start trying to tone up.
then I had a discussion with a friend who said that weight training is essential for burning off body fat, combined with the aerobic/cardio training.
can anyone confirm once and for all.
What kind of weight training?
how intense should it be? (I want to be toned, not muscly)
how much of each to get a good balance?
how long before you see a difference?
thanks,
