Is it true that if you have a lot of fat to lose, and you just train and do not do cardio, you won't see great progress? A friend told me that strength training is good, but not the ultimate solution to lose body fat because training will add muscle over my fat, not torch away my fat. I thought building muscle only happens by torching fat. Guess I had the wrong idea. Anyone here who can make this easier to understand?

I don't think that's very true. Sure, cardio can help more with fat loss, but when you lift, you're building muscle and losing fat at the same time.

I don't think that's necessarily true since you can lose fat just by being in a caloric deficit. The reason adding cardio to strength training is beneficial is because it increases the total number of calories you're burning each day, which makes it easier to stay in a deficit.

Doing some cardio will help you reduce the fat. Even a program of steady walking will have great results if you're trying to lose weight. Doing weight training will build muscle and it will have some results in burning off fat. But a combination of both would bring the best results.

I had an initial interview on Wednesday. About an hour later, I got a call from an internal recruiter from the same company wanting to follow up and see how the interview went. I didn’t see the voicemail until the following morning when I was at work and called her back that afternoon when I was out of work. I still haven’t heard from her. Is this normal? Should I not try calling back again? I’ve been at my job for several years, so I am unfamiliar with how I should handle a situation like this.
