fitmom said:You cannot exchange weight lifting and cardio in my post and get the same results. There is no valid research to support that.
I'll see what I can do to provide some links.
Right now all I have to go on is that on Sept 17th I weighed 213.5 pounds. Last Friday I weighed 202lbs. I have done no cardio, the only exercise I do is weightlifting, and last time I wore my polar A5 I burned just over 700 calories in my hour long workout.
But you're stating that there is no valid research to support that weightlifting:

* Show off the muscles, definition, and body that you've worked so hard to create.
* Prevents excessive blood pressures and lowers your resting heart rate.
* Increases aerobic work capacity allowing you to do more work with less strain on your heart.
* Increase overall function, performance and well-being of your life.
* Enhances blood flow to working muscles, which in turn, delivers more nutrients for optimal performance and growth.
* Increases overall heart function.
