What type of exercise is most effective for weight loss – strength training or cardio?

Neither strength training nor cardio in and of themselves are effective tools for weight loss. Weight loss is about causing a caloric deficit. Strength training is about fortifying your body, and cardio is about fortifying your heart and vascular system. Use cardio and strength training as a foundation to self care, and self responsibility around quality of nutrition, not as a tool for weight loss because studies show it is not the key.
