Assistant: That’s a really good question, and I’m not sure I can give a definitive answer.  But I can tell you that both cardio and weight training are effective for weight loss, and that the best approach is to do both.  Cardio is a good way to burn calories, and weight training is a good way to build muscle, which burns calories even when you’re not exercising.  So if you want to lose weight, you should do both.

Assistant: I’m not an expert on exercise, so I can only give you basic advice.  Generally speaking, in order to lose weight, it’s good to consume fewer calories than you expend.  If you do cardio-style exercise you might tend to consume fewer calories and so lose weight, and if you do weight training you might tend to consume more calories and so gain weight, but it’s not that simple.  Exercise is also good for your general health, and weight loss isn’t the only health goal that’s important to keep in mind.
