    Both. Cross training is a good thing. Try to sweat every day (rest as needed). If you are new to weights, go slow and light--it's easy to over do it with enthusiasm. Cardio helps with weight loss and heart/blood test health--do what's least heinous. As you reduce your body fat you will increase your workout duration and intensity naturally. I'm 58 and have been doing this since Carter was President--habits!

    It takes 21 days to develop a habit. 3 weeks is going to be super tough and you will not be able to keep consistent until you get through the 21 days. After that, you will be totally addicted to fitness and start to explore different variations, whether it's weights, crossfit, yoga, etc. Just keep at it and force yourself to go to the gym, it will start to come natural

    Start with both weights and cardio. Cardio to help burn calories so you can eat more, strength so you lose more fat and less muscle.

    I started with just cardio and should have added weights much earlier than I did.

    For ME, I'm doing Strong lifts 5x5 3 days a week and running 4 days a week (excluding this week as I kinda hurt myself).

    I hate not going to workout. I actually have to make myself take rest days. Keep going, don’t do anything crazy that you get injured and in a month it will be something you have to do.
