Is cardio or weight training better for weight loss?

Both cardio and weight training play important roles in weight loss:

• Cardio burns more calories during the workout and improves heart health. It's great for creating a calorie deficit.
• Weight training builds muscle, which increases your resting metabolic rate (RMR). This means you burn more calories throughout the day, even when you're not exercising. A combination of both is most effective for long-term weight loss. Cardio helps you burn calories, while weight training helps maintain or increase muscle mass, which aids in fat loss.
