Guys, Cardio or Weights?

Strength training. If you go circuit style your ticker will get all the work it needs. With a lot of weight to use I'd try low carb too.

Both, but do some research about it to fine tune your program to your goals and find what works best for you. I generally warm up on the stationary, lift for about 30-45, and then run for 15-20.

You'll add muscle and lose fat that way.

Not a guy but I say weights. Throw in a couple of cardio days too. Women lose muscle mass with cardio (dieting causes it too) and I'm assuming that also applies to men. Heavy weights will build muscle and that will raise your metabolism. Higher metabolism means more fat burning during rest, normal daily activity and even sleeping. We are burning fat at rest.

and moderate intensity burns more fat but higher intensity exercise burns more calories overall. The burn could have a lower percentage of fat but still burn more fat calories. I like HIITs because you can get a high burn in a shorter amount of time.

You will need to consume more calories for this. You have to be supplying plenty of fuel so your workouts won't have a detrimental effect.

Both is always good, as was just said I normally jog/run the treadmill to get my heart rate up and then lift the rest of the workout, it can get pretty intense but definitely worth it.

When I first started, I was just doing cardio. I was hiking a lot and that burned some awesome calories for me. I did eventually add in some weight training to help strengthen my upper body. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so it's beneficial to do both.

I love weights! I also love cardio so it's a struggle, because I can't decide what to dedicate it to each day.. Sometimes I in cooperate say 80% weights and a final 20% cardio for finishing(I have learned for me in particular I cannot do cardio first).

I use to do JUST cardio when I was 17 or whatever, but I was so weak.. I remember this day distinctly. I was vacuuming my room, and I couldn't move my damned dresser. I had to ask my dad to help me. FF to a few years later when I did in cooperate weights; I can move it and almost anything else(I am stronger than my dad and mother combined). Also you feel fantastic after weights and your body gets a great composition from it. They go hand in hand IMO.

Let us know how your journey goes with weights

A good site I reference to is http://forum.bodybuilding.com/?welcome=true BodyBuilding site - it's for BB's and novices alone. They have forums on equipment, exercises, diet and everything. Even scope out Youtube for exercises and instructional videos.

If you go to the gym check out Personal Trainers, try a session gain insight on how/what body parts to work, when and why.

Good luck!

Man BB is such a wealth of knowledge. I actually found a supp site that sells for less recently, though.

Erick is right, doing both is best. The reason being that doing cardio (preferrably lower intensity, at around 75% to 80%) is great for fat burning. More effort level than that and you end up in anaerobic exercise rather than aerobic, and your body isn't burning fat anymore. The reason for the strength and resistance training is that type of training builds lean muscle, which uses more calories and increases the efficiency of your cardio workouts.

The amount of fuel from fat(in grams) changes very little no matter the heart rate. http://www.myfooddiary.com/resources/ask_the_expert/fat-burning_zone_myth.asp so yeah, intense prolonged cardio is pointless for most of us.
