    like above,.... but ... you dont burn that many in comparison to cardio at all during strength training. but... muscle burns fat, so you should do it for sure!

    Strength training continues to burn calories hours after you are done. Cardio does not.

    Actually cardio does continue to burn calories after you are done. Do HIIT and get even better results after you are done.

    Just a wee side note here bout cardio...if you go on the treadmill and walk on an incline of 15 at around 6kmph then you burn around 1000 calories an hour.

    I do weights but try to incorporate a bit of cardio into my session but I mostly do HIIT

    That is heavy duty!!!

    HIIT is great - I try to fit this in twice a week (running mainly), but at least one time. Works great for speed training as well.

    Same here - usually 10-15 minutes, with 30-45 seconds sprint/all out, with 2 min recovery. I have access to an indoor track that is 1/10 of a mile, it is nice to do this on.

    If you go to the cardio database and scroll down you'l see strength training click it and I think it registers calories burned
