Cardio will help you lose weight, but I find alot of people go overboard on it, without muscle mass you look like sh!t.

It is great to couple weightlifting with cardio as long you don’t overdo the weightlifting part. The reason is that muscle weighs more then fat, so you may end up gaining instead of losing. Don’t give up cardio! Losing weight is a matter of taking in fewer calories and cardio is the best way to burn calories. Just walking for 1 hour will burn about 300 calories. Running for an hour will burn over twice as much. If you’re going for that toned look, weight lifting will indeed add muscle definition.

Good luck!
