    Both.

    Cardio without weights can lead to skinny fat bodies. Weights without cardio makes weight loss take a little longer. Both together helps everyone reach their goals.

    Doing both is always good and you get the best results from this.

    I usually start off with cardio, 10 mins on the Crosstrainer and 10 mins on the running machine. Then move on to the weights/resistance machines. When on the weights, I tend to do more reps on a low weight as I do not want to build muscle. I work on my arms, legs, abs and back and then do 5 mins of bike cardio to finish off the session :-)

    Hope this helps xx

    This is similar to what my trainer has taught me to do, a quick cardio warmup followed by 30-40 mins of weights and resistance training with some lunges and then 10 mins of intense cardio interval like running, walking and boxing. We then finish off with ab work.
