Strength Training Leads to Weight Loss

According to a University of Memphis study, squats and other large muscle strength-building exercises like lunges, rowing, and overhead presses are as useful a tool for weight loss as cardiovascular exercises, like cycling or running. This may be because while cardio burns more calories, strength-training builds muscle and muscle burns more calories than body fat.

Lifting weights makes you

Lifting weights makes you lose more weight than running? I cannot see this at all. I am definitely a runner. You won't catch me lifting weights. Now, that I read this, I will have to consider it. Next time I visit the fitness gym, I will have to try doing these exercises. I will see if this really works.
