Para mí es mejor también combinar cardio + pesas.
Weight training increases your lean body mass. Increasing your lean body mass speeds up
your metabolic rate so you burn more calories at rest – and the number of calories you
burn at rest (your basal metabolic rate) is directly proportional to the amount of muscle
you carry.(...)
It’s a common misconception that if you have a lot of weight to lose, you should
lose the fat with cardio first before starting a weight-training program. Actually, the
opposite is true; weight training always accelerates fat loss, although it happens primarily
through an indirect mechanism. Muscle is metabolically active tissue that burns fat, and
lifting weights builds muscle, therefore weight training must be a part of every fat loss
program.(...)
Shouldn’t I lose all the fat first, then start weight training later?
No, no, no, no, no!!!!! This has already been discussed, but it bears repeating over
and over: If you diet without weight training, you’re almost always going to lose muscle.
If you lose muscle, your resting metabolic rate will decrease. If your resting metabolic rate decreases, you burn fewer calories. If you burn fewer calories, you lose less fat and
eventually plateau.(...)
