Resistance training is also very important to losing weight. Muscle helps burn calories because your muscles require more energy to function than fat does to just chill. There's a formula that works for every one because it is based on your personal resting heart rate. I'll see if I can find it. I vaguely remember hearing from one of the ladies that works at my gym that if you go over a certain percent of your max heart rate then you're not in a fat burning zone anymore and you aren't going to help yourself lose weight. Something like that. I'll find the formula and post it later tonight.
