Few questions about fitness (diet, exercise)

If you wanna burn calories and lose weight, dont lift. Lifting will increase muscle mass and make you heavier. Do lots of cardio activity, running, cycling, swimming, or eliptical. Low impact is my favorite due to my crappy knees. You've gotta keep your heartrate up.

You, sir, are an idiot.

i have a workout question as well. instead of making a new thread, i'll post my question here.

I usually weight train for like 2-2.5 hrs and then run for 30 mins. two days ago i weighed myself (with just boxers and shirt on) before running and I was at 153.2lbs. after running, with the same clothes on, i weighed 151.2lbs.

found this curious, so i repeated this experiment yesterday also. before running, I was 154.4lbs, and after I was 152.5lbs.

Now, is this normal? losing that much water-weight from just 30 mins of cardio? I am assuming its water weight i lost.

You weight train for 2 - 2 1/2 hrs?

Don't you burn up your glycogen stores in about an hour or so?

It takes me about 2 hours to burn up my glycogen stores on the bike, and that's burning way more kcal per hour than lifting does.

That's probably becuase of the training wheels.
