All true - even just sitting still, more muscle means more burn. Also, it's easy to fit into the trap of trying to find the "perfect combination" to maximize your weight loss or muscle gain, or cardio time, or whatever. Don't really worry abut all that as you are starting out, just make sure you so SOMETHING and make sure it's something you can maintain and doesn't burn you out. You will have plenty of time to tinker with the program later, for now I would focus on just making sure you stick with it. It can be discouraging to workout and feel like you are doing it just the "perfect way" and that can be devestating to your motivation. Just get our there and do stuff till you feel like you ahve it under wraps and then start to worry about changing it up.
That's my 2 cents based on my own past habits... -Cameron On 10/5/06, Jacob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You should do both.
