Question-- One of my friends told me that lifting weights helps you loose weight more quickly then other exercises because it strengthens your muscles alot and you need those to make working out really have an effect. Is she right?
Reply from anne, Age 17 - 01/09/05 - IP#: 66.220.240.xxx you need muscle to raise your metabolism permenately, you need cardio to burn off the stored fat- so alternate days of weight lifting and cardio and you will be complete and effective

Reply from Melissa, Age 15 - 01/09/05 - IP#: 67.34.230.xxx the more muscles you have, the more fat that you will burn. but when you do weight lifting, since your losing fat, on the scale it doesn't look like you've lost that much weight but you'll lose inches more quickly.
