Should I do cardio or weights to lose weight for my body?
The short answer
Both help, but your genes tilt the balance - some people lose fat more efficiently with resistance training, others with sustained cardio, and a DNA wellness panel can hint which.Weight response to exercise is partly governed by how your muscles use fuel and how your body stores fat. The same twelve-week plan produces very different results across people, and a chunk of that gap is genetic rather than effort.
The practical takeaway is to stop copying whatever worked for someone with a different body. Find the training style your body responds to and your adherence improves, because results arrive faster and motivation follows.

Commit to one training style for four weeks instead of switching every week. Consistency reveals what your body actually responds to.
