When your body is rebuilding your muscles, it's burning calories, and more muscle also burns more calories. Cardio is also important. Try running or biking-something of the sort. It would probly be best to do weights in the morning and cardio at night, but if you're like me and CAN'T do weights in the morning, just do your cardio after the weights. NEVER do cardio before, because weights are your first priority. Last but most definitely not least, clean up your diet. Try to eat sensible, no white bread, cokes, candy, sweets, you know the deal. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.

The previous sentence is false.
