weight lifting plus cardio
Weight lifting alone does help, but add in cardio for a faster
weight loss. Weight lifting is for more muscles to increase your
basal metabolic rate, which burns fats even you are 'resting' and
recovering. Cardio burn fats only when you are doing it. A
combination of both will give you a greater effect.
Diet is also important, the types you eat, the amount you eat, and
the time you eat.
