It is the question we hear most at the front desk. The honest answer: you need both, but not in the way most people think.
What cardio does well
Steady cardio burns calories while you do it and builds the heart and lungs that let you train harder everywhere else.
What weights do well
Strength training builds muscle, and muscle raises the calories you burn every single day, even at rest.
The plan we recommend
Three strength sessions and two short conditioning sessions a week, with a sensible calorie target. That combination beats either one on its own.
