I didn't say that - you misread my comment. I said don't focus on cardio too much because it mainly helps your cardiovascular system.

Also if you're fat your joints are going to kill you if you do things like job or ride bike. Using weight machines are much more effective and comfortable for a fat person.

You literally said:

> Don't bother with cardio - you're fat enough that lifting weights is going to do more than enough. Cardio is boring and just improves your cardiovascular system.
