Ok, maybe for some a stupid question, but for once i would really like to know..
I want to loose some weight, and I am doing this by some cardio but mostly weight lifting ( i really really love weight lifting)
The thing what makes me so confused is that by lifting you gain muscle but with cardio you loose it??
So what should i do? skip the cardio?
My routine now is 3x a week weightlifting and 2x a week cardio, i just read last week that there has to be at least 48 hrs between any weightlifting sessions so on the days i am not lifting i will do the cardio instead.

Can somebody please help me with my confusion? Sad

cardio wothout wts and adequate cal'sa loses muscle...as long as cal's are good and wts are there you should be fine...do sprints 1/week outside and then do 1 other interval training session along with 3 full body wt workouts a aweek and clean up your diet
