Cardiovascular training such as running,
biking, stairclimbing, or swimming is regarded
by many people as being a hellish experience
tantamount to Sisyphus punishment of rolling a
boulder uphill. The unfortunate thing for those
people is that cardio is a great way to lose
weight because it burns the most calories per
workout essentially, you get the most bang for
your buck by running. However, that doesnt mean
that cardio is the only way to lose weight.
Weightlifting can also help you lose weight by
increasing the amount of muscle tissue in your
body. Because muscle tissue burns more calories
than other types of tissues, the additional
muscle put on by weight training can help you
lose weight in the long run.

However, it is not a suitable replacement for
cardiovascular training if weight loss is your
primary goal. Yes, weightlifting will increase
your resting metabolic rate, but it will do so
slowly, and you will see a decrease in fat loss
equally slowly. Cardiovascular training, on the
other hand, can burn a lot of calories in a very
short amount of time, and you will see more
immediate benefits from running or biking than
you will from weightlifting. If we take running
as an example, an hour run at five miles per hour
will burn five hundred calories. That gives you
a big caloric deficit that can help you lose
weight. If, on the other hand, you spend that
hour doing bench press, squats, and military
press, you will burn significantly fewer calories
and will not be in as big a calorie deficit.
