A member asked:
Will weight training help me burn more fat than cardio?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Opposite.: In the short term cardio will help you burn more fat. In the long term, the muscle you build through weight training does burn calories as it's metabolically active all day and night. So both are technically good for fat loss, just in different ways.
