I mostly focus on strength training. Generally strength and muscle mass are directly linked, so more strength means more muscle. More muscle means more mass, which means more body heat, which means more energy leaving my body. In short, the stronger you get the faster you burn calories passively. Cardio is nice for cutting an extra hundred or two calories here and there, but your metabolism burns 85-95% of your calories passively so to me it makes sense to focus on maxing that out first.
