Research supports the notion that moderate-intensity aerobic training alone is not the best way of burning body fat. You should include a resistance training programme to help build muscle in order to burn body fat, even at rest.
A 1994 landmark study proved that including a resistance programme to your exercise routine was better then performing aerobic training alone. It compared resistance with aerobic training and found that dispite only exercising for 15 weeks against the aerobic group's 20 the resistance group had lost 9 times more body fat then the aerobic group!
Add to this the added benefits of resistance training such as increased strength, bone density, blood flow to limbs, longer-lasting drop in blood pressure compared to aerobic exercises and better posture, you can see why resistance training should be included in your exercise routine.
