A member asked:
If i want to lose weight quickly during a period of 1 month, should i focus more on cardio exercise, or lifting weights? thank you.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cardio: Since muscle weighs more per volume then fat cardio would be better. Weight training increases muscle mass and volume so your weight would actually increase.
