Does lifting weights also burn fat?

Asked by ray18 7 months ago, 5 answers.

if I lift 8-10 lb dumbells for my arms and do sit-ups for my tummy, with a healthy balanced meal plan, will it help my tummy to shrink? I dont have much fat on my stomach.. so I'm wondering if it will help to completely shrink it and make my abs show, or...

do I HAVE to do cardio to shrink it. I'll be doing cardio anyways but I'm just wondering... cause sit-ups is a lot easier to do in my home than cardio.

do cardio then after that do some sit-ups and then weight training also maintain eating healthy, weights converts fats into muscle that what I think.

Lifting does burn calories. Some people lift weights, then jump on a cardio machine to burn more calories than doing them separately. Becareful when doing the side stomach excersizes. That area gets strong quickly and gets bigger. They might start to look like love handles.
