Strength training can help you burn more fat than aerobic or cardiovascular exercise alone. Weight training keeps the loss of your muscle mass to a minimum, which will help you perform better during aerobic activities. The resulting increase in muscle mass will also raise your basal metabolic rate (resting metabolism). A weight training routine should hit all major muscle groups. Many men concentrate on building their arms and chest because of the highly visible results, but don't forget about the back and legs. Building up these areas may not yield immediate visual results, but it won't take long to feel some gains.
