Re: Best type of exercise for weight loss?

I think it's a combo of weight training and cardio. You need to build more muscle for weight loss...

A pound of fat burns like 3 calories an hour-- while a pound of muscle burns 28 calories. So-- if you build up your muscle, you will burn more calories while sitting on the couch, than if you had less muscle. Plus-- you get more toned.

And of course, a healthy, balanced diet.

Exactly what I was going to say...you need both cardio and weight training.
