Aerobics or Bodybuilding

Which burns more calories?

When talking about losing calories, right comes to mind aerobic exercise, and it is not wrong. However, there is a difference between energy expenditure and weight loss. 
A spinning class, for example, burns about 700 calories, while a series of 60 minutes of weight training expends some 400 calories. 
So far, nothing is new.

To lose weight with aerobic exercise your diet should have fewer calories than the quantity you burned with your session. Otherwise, you will feel in better shape but you will not lose weight.

Burning calories even while you sleep

Basal metabolism increases when the physical capacity is greater. The calories you eat in food are consumed by muscles, so if they are developed, they consume more. The muscles are responsible for changes in metabolism, so the more toned they are, the faster metabolism and greater caloric expenditure.

It is the constant practice of body building that will determine whether it is more efficient than aerobic exercise. Bike or hike offers a momentary burning, just in time that is practiced. Body training causes an increase of the elimination of calories throughout the day. 

That is exactly what the diet pills do: speed up metabolism. However, it is better to do it naturally. It is worth remembering, then, on the day to day, if you are not muscular, toned or conditioning, aerobic exercise burns calories faster. 

Diet

See your doctor for suggestions of what you should be eating, and implement these changes as soon as you can, because you are going to find that changing what you are eating is the best way to begin to be healthy and to lead a healthy lifestyle. 
Depending on the kind of exercises you are doing your diet will vary accordingly.

Conclusion

After an aerobic section you will feel hungry and naturally will tend to eat more. If you reduce the calories you eat, you will lose weight but can also get weaker, this will harm your sessions, and thus your effort will to be completely ruined.
So a well planned gym sessions should balance your exercises like doctor will balance your diet.
While burning calories in the hour with aerobic exercise should also exercise your muscles as they help you burn calories out of the gym.
The ideal is therefore planning to have a practice that allows you to alter the metabolism and burn calories during 24 hours in a natural way.
