Now that is down right epic!

@Minion-Queen also awesome for you that you are making the changes. it isn't easy but it's sooooooo worth it

@Nic nope lol 50/50 or at least should be

@Minion-Queen nasm is the national academy of sports medicine (probably the best education source for health and fitness in my opinion) and Issa is the international sports and science association a smaller education program but still a good one :). The key to proper weight loss is a hybrid program of cardio and weight training ( lean body mass not necessarily bulking) because eventually that lean body mass you build takes over the weight loss side. Muscle takes constant energy to maintain which comes from your fat stores mostly. And burns 24 hrs a day as opposed to cardio where after u are finished with the workout you are only going to burn maybe 20-30 more cals than normal.

@scottalanmiller I'll look at this thread when I get home. Trying to read all of this over on an iPhone isn't conducive to fully grasping what this threads main focus is lol.

@alexntg not to be rude at all but this is false information. Is running good for you? Yes. Will you see weight loss at first? Yes. Will you lose muscle mass instead this way though and then not have caloric burn via metabolism from muscle mass and then gain back all your weight from yo yo ing? Yes. Proper weight loss is done more so through lean body mass gain than cardio.

Experience: NASM certified, ISSA certified, and lost 95 pounds personally and the healthy way.
