Any thoughts as to this?
I have been hearing that although you burn a lot of calories while actually doing cardio, you burn more calories in the long run from weight lifting. Apparently, your body works hard to recover after a weight lifting session and that burns more than cardio. IDK, I haven't done much research into it yet.
I have been shooting for three days of weights, three of cardio... but it usually turns into two and two. I have really been getting some good results from doing both. I also find it is nice to switch back and forth so I am not just doing the same thing everyday (ie. one day cardio, one day weights)
Do you belong to a gym? If so, they may work with you to figure out a routine. My gym includes a weight routine that I meet with the trainer person to switch up every six weeks. Right now, I focusing on my arms, b/c I am going to be in my sis's wedding soon... I want my arms and back to look good in my dress. Now I want to flex my arms and show everyone my muscles... I am such a dork!
