What if cardio-only is sufficient just to make you feel better, more relaxed? Why not just do it for those benefits? Honestly, if someone wants to play 30 minutes of DDR, they will sweat, they will exercise...no they are not in a very good fitness plan but think of it as a gateway drug.

The trouble is that cardio-only doesn't improve or forestall certain classes of health problem such as sarcopenia or osteoporosis. Plus most folk discover to their very great surprise that weight training is very satisfying.

For most people the answer is to do a bit of each.

Tell you what: read the informational links I posted.

Then answer your own question in a reply here.

Or I could sit next to you for the next 20 years and spoon-feed you the Internet.
