After I do a facepalm to my head and go "Oy Vey! Not again!" I explain to him both can promote fat loss if done correctly. When it comes to cardio you will get the best results by exercising on an empty stomach first thing in the morning!
Weights training is fantastic for weight loss as it burns calories as you do it and after you exercise. It also builds the lean muscle which will sky rocket your metabolism and is the best thing for shaping your body.
It is essential however to have a source high in protein, coupled with a healthy high GI Carbohydrate source to maximize your workout. Once again, this is something I can help you with.
I always stress this, the 4 pillars for successful weight loss are Cardio,
Resistance Training, Nutrition & Rest! Cardio is good, but a lot of people hit a plateau, @ this time and lose hope and quit. You can either increase speed (use the speed interval option on the Treadmill, run for a minute then to catch your breath jog or walk at a slightly faster pace) or increase the incline, if you increase incline the higher you go the harder it gets. Make sure you bend forward (@ the waist! DO-NOT Roll Your Back Or Shoulders, it'll only give you a
sore and bad back, lumbago I think its called) and Never Hold The Rails when doing cardio, hold your tummy tight (pretend you're at the beach and a hot girl in a bikini's walking by, ha! Works everytime @least for the guys!). On the reclining bike, that piece of equipment is a piece of shit! You might as well sit like that in front of the TV, you need an elliptical or stepper or a regular exercise bike. Its less impact on the knees as well as it offers a slight change in your cardio workout. You basically want to surprise your body and hormones, you don't want your body
to be like "what? Treadmill? Again? Oh well here we go! Let's do it again!" you know! Ha ha.
Also Resistance training is Key, all that weight loss, you need to tone up your
body your body shouldn't look like a sandbag that had half the sand taken out of
it. Once you lose weight the body'll look how it looked like with all that
weight, causing stretch marks and globs of flesh, you wanna tone that up because
that could lead to a 'relapse' and the body counter balances itself by gaining
weight.
Nutrition, you can increase your metabolism by eating 6, yes 6!, small meals
everyday withing a 12 to 14 hour period. A typical regimen is like this, if you have work at 9 am, then you might wake up at 7, Have a hearty breakfast then, and at 9 am if you have a coffee, I have to get have some fruit, apple, banana, pear, orange or a fist full of nuts or grapes or some sugar free(yeah I'm watching my sugar) cookies or salt free (yep, watching that too!) Crackers. Then @ 11 am have another healthy serving of milk, yogurt, juice etc 2pm is lunch, again, One serving of rice One serving of Chicken or Turkey (Or Fish, Although, I am allergic to Seafood, so I rarely prescribe it) 1 ltr of water (drink H2O every 3 to 4 hours) we demanded food every 2 hours as a baby, why're we different now? We are mommy's little babies still aren't we? Eat SMALL meals every 2 hours!
Rest, once you burn all those calories and fat, you're gonna need a massive reboot, so rest 6 to 8 hours of sleep every Day! I do 6 to 7 hours of solid sleep a night, and then I catch a cat nap of an hour or half hour during the day, during lunch @ work mostly!
