Both cardio and weight training are needed. Challenging yourself in each workout and changing it up regularly are keys. Too many people stick with the same routine and wonder why nothing changes.

I am going to go with strength training first, because we all know that muscle will help you burn more fat. After that HIIT is what I prefer for cardio over anything else, mostly because I lack time. But of the greatest importance is ones diet as always.

As everyone has already said, a combination of the two is the best prescription, but, if I had to choose one, I would say strength training, because of the longterm effects, the addition of muscle, which burns more calories than fat, and the fact that you continue to burn calories well after the workout because of the healing process the muscles encounter.

I’m a CrossFit owner and strength coach, so I move heavy loads as much as possible. Strength training is vitally important for the development and maintenance of health and fitness.
