Getting Started

Cardio or Weights?
You'll burn calories doing both kinds of exercise, but if you want to lose 50lbs or more, you should spend most of your exercise time doing aerobics, or cardiovascular exercises. Cardiovascular training done at a moderate level is a great fat burner, and you should gradually increase your intensity over time. The most important thing is to elevate your core body temperature, which you'll know is happening when you begin to sweat. As time goes on, it will take you longer to start sweating, and this is when it's time to increase your intensity. For example, if you are walking for cardio, you can increase the intensity by walking a bit faster or walking up hill. Ideally, you'll want to do some weight training along with your cardio, because this will improve your body composition by increasing your muscle mass, which helps you burn more calories throughout the day.
