Weights and no Cardio?

jajewel Posts: 107 Joined: 2004/10/31	2005/03/26, 12:27 PM My question is, if I only lift weights, do I have to do cardio for weight loss? Is it important to do both, if so, can I do the cardio in less than the 30 minutes or hour that I have been doing?

Questions like these need to be addressed by you before an analysis can really be made, and even then, you will have to experiment to a point. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

I lose weight pretty quickly, I have been doing cardio 3 times a week, and about 60 minutes. I read that if I do weights, I won't have to do much cardio, the cardio seems so time consuming, and boring. I have a 6 month old baby, and I am looking to lose this weight by at least July. But I need to find the quickest but most effective for weight loss.It seems when I set my target for an hour on the treadmill, bike etc. I am interupted by the baby in the middle of workouts.
