Well, being a total newbie, I'll probably do both. I'm just going to take the suggestion of the fitness trainer I suppose. I know I want to develop muscle, I'm guessing the weight loss will just come off regardless with that... I think theres wisdom in doing cardio if for no other reason than to build up my stamina. That is what cardio does, right? Build stamina?

Question: Why would anyone forgo cardio and just work on resistance training?
