It all comes down to balance, balance between weight, aerobics, and nutrition. Fitness really does involve it all. So true!

I'm no scientist but from personal experience this seems to be true. A couple years back after hurting my ankle, I stopped running and starting lifting weights. Shock of a lifetime: I actually lost weight, even though I know I was burning less calories during my weight workout than my running. The weight loss must have been fat loss because I'm pretty sure I was getting stronger just based on the weight I was lifting. Really amazing. Right now the only resistance training I'm doing is swimming (does that count?) but I really want to start doing more (alas, we all know how much I hate the gym!). Why is it so hard to get a good resistance workout at home? I'm guessing my problem has more to do with motivation than lack of equipment, but I'll save that rant for another time. =) Dave and Crabby - yes, keep it up!

I really dislike weight training, but at least it's good to know I'm doing it for a reason! This confirms what I kinda thought.

I've been doing mostly resistance training but haven't noticed any real weight loss (in terms of numbers, though my shape has changed). I was starting to get a little discouraged, and was thinking about doing more CV (switching to primarily CV, in fact). Seems fairly clear I'm on the right lines though, and if this isn't working as I'd hoped, it might be that my diet needs some work! That’s good to know.
