Training with cardio is great to build your cardiovascular, However, strength training RULES when it come to losing weight and also increasing cardiovascular strength. The main goal when it comes to losing weight is to burn more calories than you consume each day. Lifting weights will challenge your muscles and force the body to use more energy, which means more calories will be used and burned. Fat and muscles cannot co-exist and muscles will always beat fat. All you have to do is let them work by picking up some iron and getting to work. Your body will burn a substantial amount of energy and you will lose weight and lean out in no time, along with a proper diet of course. One of the most effective ways to lift weights is circuit training. This simply means moving from one station to the next with no rest time in between.

A quick example would be:

* Push ups

*Dumbell arm curls

*Dumbell squats

*Dumbell shoulder press

Do each move for a total of 30 seconds and repeat 3 times total.

Keep in mind this is only a sample.
