Hey! I usually post on the "Eating for IBS" thread, but I have a fitness question. I am not much for exercising, however, I recently joined my local YWCA. My question is, does strength training/weight lifting (Nautilus equipment) help burn calories? I usually go 3 times a week, start out on the treadmill for approximately 20 minutes, then do the weight machines for about 40 minutes. Since I don't like to exercise, but actually enjoy this, I want to be sure I'm getting the best workout for my time. Is what I'm going a good way to burn calories and firm, or should I do Pilates or Yoga instead?
