I was always under the assumption that in order to burn more fat and to "show off" those define muscles from strength training that you would need to do cardio.
I figure a combination of a healthy diet, cardio and strength training (weight lifting) would be enough. It's easy to fit cardio in your daily life.... park farther away from the store for instance.
No it will not build muscle mass, no it will not decrease body fat. You need to rest every other day to build muscle-your muscles are torn down with weight training, and by resting you are letting them repair, and you increase their mass. You will hurt your muscles if you do H. I. that often and they will not build mass. Cardio is required to decrease body fat. It can be in the form of aerobics, machines at the gym, brisk walking, martial arts, mountain hiking, swimming, running, or even scrubbing the walls or floors of your home. BUT... cardio is vitally important for heart health. Please don't neglect it. You'll be strengthing your heart, and keeping it healthy.
