What are you waiting for?
If your goal is to lose weight, incorporate strength training into your routine. To maximize fat loss, you need to build muscle. The more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns at rest.
Don't get me wrong, cardio is important, but in terms of fat loss...it's less effective. A lot of people choose cardio over strength training because they want to burn a large number of calories in a short amount of time. What most people don't realize about cardio is that although you burn a higher amount of calories in a shorter period of time, the calorie burn ends with your workout. With strength training, you'll burn fewer calories during your actual workout, but the calorie burning continues long after as your body works to repair your muscles.
