[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Strength training will help you lose weight more than actual exercise.
When strength training, it works your muscles, and this can allow your
body to continue to burn fat even long after exercise. Aerobic exercise
is good for your heart, and if the intensity is enough, it can help you
initially lose weight, but yeah, I agree, you may have to really step it
up with cardio if wanting to lose weight. But the body will only burn
fat during the work-out, whereas strength training helps the body burn
fat hours after a work-out.

And once you reach a certain weight, if you want to lose more, you will
probably have to up the intensity and length.

I did hear two doctors on the Today Show say that people who do cardio
for 30 minutes a day but live active lives in general (walking instead
of driving, up moving about doing chores, etc.) can lose just as much
weight as those of us who do longer work-outs. Not sure where this info
came from, but it was two doctors making the claim. I have my doubts
though.

BTW, my father-in-law is an avid biker. He's done RAGBRAI several times,
smile.

Actually, the only time I ever lost weight while exercising was while I
was doing training for RAGBRAI (Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across
Iowa.) But in those days I exercised four or five hours a day. People
who think they will lose weight doing 15 or 30 minutes are off base.
Also, the more conditioned you are, the more you have to do if you want
to burn enough calories to lose weight, and it has to strengthen your
muscles (strength training) and raise your heart rate (cardio and
sometimes strength training.) That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
