A member asked:
Why should i take time from emphasizing walking/bike riding to do strength training or yoga? goal is to lose weight.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Strength training : Builds lean muscle mass which increases your metabolism allowing you to burn more calories for the same workout and you can make weight training a cardio event as well. Yoga can allow you to better focus on your goal while maintaining flexibility with your exercising to help minimize muscle aches and injuries for a well balanced workout of body and mind!
