Weight loss with cardio or strengh or both?

Preshy999 · March 2016

Hi everyone,

This is my 4th time at weight loss. And this is one question I've been googling for quite some time. When i went to the gym the instructors said it is mandatory for me to just stick with cardio. But again im 5'1 with 80 pounds to lose. Wont I be getting lose skin if i just stick to cardio? Or should i do strength training as well? All inputs are welcome. And feel free to add me.

Good day peeps

Strength training will make you sexy

Yeah I've been thinking about Jillian Michaels beginner shred for the strength training. When you had to become fit what did you begin with?

Cardio (if you're not pussyfooting around) burns more calories which facilitates quicker weight loss.

Strength training burns fewer but improves your composition such that -80 pounds with it would look better than -80 pounds without it.

Weight loss can be achieved without either of them (solely diet) or just one of them, but doing both is optimal.

Thank you

My opinion is both. I strength train 3-4 days a week....i do cardio about 3-5 days a week as well

Okay thanks

Do both, but with 80 lbs to lose you could still get loose skin. Genetics will play the biggest part in whether or not you'll get loose skin.

Yes thats true. Lets hope for the best

Both are very important.

I agree. I have started doing both of them simultaneously, cardio during the night and strength in the morning. Hoping to avoid loose skin.
