There has been much debate which do I do if time is an issue?? Cardiovascular exercise done in your target heart rate zone can bring benefits beyond burning just calories. You can strengthen both your heart lungs and improve your overall sub Vo2. Your body continues to burn calories up to three hours after a moderate to high intense workout.
Strength training has benefits besides just building lean muscle tissue. It helps increase bone density, anaberobic capacity and increase metabolism. Weight training will keep your bodys metabolism burning at a higher effeciency(4-6)hrs.
So remember its most effective to include both in your workouts. Building lean muscle tissue and burning excess fat will help you look lean, fit and healthy.
* A good reference is this: 1 Lb of muscle burns 50-60 calories & 1 LB of fat burns 10-15 calories
This should give you a better idea of how to structure your workouts! If you need help with that, let me know
