Two stubborn people spells disaster
can't believe i actually argued with bud over the dumbest thing ever.
We were debating about the issue of burning fats/losing weight
My stand: Cardio is the best way to burn fats
His stand: Lifting weights is the best way to burn fats
My stand: Cardio boosts the metabolism
His stand: Lifting weight boosts the metabolism,
and cardio decreases the metabolism
Don't we always say, if you wanna lose weight, go jog, go swim, do aerobics etc. That is cardio, and it will reduce ther fat percentage in your body. Then i have a moron like him telling me lifting weight is the best way to burn fats. Yeah right. In his silly own world. Lifting weights is more like sculpting, toning, to look leaner. I'm not saying lifting weight won't burn fats. You'll probably burn fats marginally (which is why you look toner), as compared to cardio. You get my drift? Lifting weights will increase muscle mass, and we all know that muscle weighs more than fats. So tell me, how the hell do you lose weight? Of course, for cardio, you probably don't gain as much muscles, which is why the net loss of weight is more than stupid weight lifting.
Then, the most ridiculous idea- Lifting weight can boost your metabolism? What rubbish is this. Then tell me, why issit that all the body builders look like a piece of lard after they stopped training? They wobble like a piece of agar agar. Gross. And how issit possible for your metabolism to decrease by cardio. The fact that you burn fats and lose weight through cardio exercises is because cardio boosts metabolism. metabolism=using more energy in your body, hence, leaving you with little energy reserves to be stored as fats.
I know im not like some stupid health consultant. But hey, with some fundamental Physiology i've studied, and the copious amount of health magazines i've read, i think i definitely know more than him. (not that i'm trying to act smart). I've also read alot of articles refutting some controversies etc, thats why i try to maintain a neutral stand. I give him credits for the 'lifting weights can burn fats' bit. But it does not burn alot.
These are some things ppl should know. They should stop talking so much cock.
I think i'm PMSing. I don't sound very polite in this post.

Heh... Just stumbled on your blog; this made me laugh. And you are right, he is wrong. Cardio burns fat, weight training builds muscle. Both are important to someone trying to lose weight.
