What is the ratio of strength training per cardio if your target is weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No clear answer: Not sure that there is a set answer for this: however i would definitely encourage 40min of moderate intensity cardio 4-5 days per week, and then can supplement with weight training as well. Weight loss is predicated on intake vs output: ie how many calories you are taking in vs how many you are burning. Do not ignore your diet, take a good hard look at what you are eating, very important.
