I'm on a fitness journey to shed some extra kilos. Some people say cardio helps burn more calories, while others vouch for weights to build muscle. What is best for weight loss, cardio or weights?

Since I have thyroid issues, losing weight is quite slow for me. I do a mix of weights and walking, but honestly, keeping my thyroid levels in check through regular blood tests is what actually makes the exercise work. Do check your hormone levels first.

Both are really good for health in their own ways. Just find something you can do consistently every day without feeling too exhausted. Take it easy and enjoy the process.

With PCOS, doing too much high-intensity cardio can sometimes stress the body and increase cortisol. I have personally found that slow weighted workouts combined with daily walking are much gentler on my hormones, but everyone's body is different.

Doing both together is the best approach. Weights build muscle while cardio keeps your heart healthy.
