No if you really want to burn calories the best way is to build muscle, since muscle is burning cals 24 hours per day. The larger the muscle the more cals get burned, this is why a personal trainer will encourage you to lift weights as well as do cardio and diet to lose weight.
Cheers!! Nothing speeds up your metabolism (chronically, anyways) like extra muscle mass. Wanna know why so few people see results from this? Because nobody wants to work their legs out!! You go to the gym and huff and puff your arms and chest, maybe some of you your shoulders and back... but your legs are where almost all the largest muscles in your body reside. This is another reason a lot of cardio things increase your metabolism so much. Most cardio programs have you.. *gasp* running. You run enough and even though you're doing a catabolic exercise, you increase leg strength. If you really wanna increase that metabolism, start doing some lunges and squats and add some real weight to your legs. Funny thing... Increasing your leg strenght will actually increase strength throughout your whole body. Your legs have the largest muscles in your body and when they start recruiting the necessary components to increasing muscle size, so much is recruited that other muscles in the body see benefit. Your biceps are weenies compared to your quads. You can work those out all you want and the body, overall, barely takes notice.

don't forget about the muscles in your back also... the lats and lower back are huge muscles to... pulldowns and rows are what your after for these

Did you look at the workout on Bally's page for golf? There is nothing dynamic at all, bench press, leg extensions, blah, blah, blah. Their workout is very old school and what most people refer to as weight lifting. There is not a exercise program for baseball listed on their page. IMO it is not the most effective way to developing a powerful golf swing.

Most modern professional trainers are incorporating dynamic workout with unstable platforms. This teaches the muscles and brain how to interact and encourages strengthening of large and small muscle groups. What good is it to be able to squat 500 lbs if you do not have any lateral strength? What good is any lower body strength if you can't balance effectively? I agree that weight resistance should be used I just don’t agree with the body building exercise professed in most weight lifting gyms. It is too static and works on the principal isolating the 12 major muscle groups. It does propose the idea of looking fit and not being fit.

To illustrate this here is an exercise in my workout. Stand on one foot on a slanted surface with the arch uphill, middle toe and heel on the same elevation, for as long as you can. You’ll begin to notice muscles on the hip, knees, and foot having to work to maintain balance. If you have good balance close your eyes or hold an object in both hands above your head. You will notice that there is a lag between your propreoceptors and your brains response. The sway that happens when you balance is the delay between the propreoceptors and your brains response. Try this with you arch in three positions uphill, downhill and with your toes straight uphill. Most people have different skill of balancing in each position and between legs.

Balance is a corner stone of a good golf swing. There is nothing in the Bally or most weight lifting exercises that address balance or dynamic range of motion.

I've also said numerous times, muscle eats fat, build muscle first. Read any serious body building magazine and they'll say to start out with about 3 or 4 exercises for months on end and eat like a friggen horse. Squats, deadlifts, Military press, bench press. I gained over 40lbs. in 2 years and worked out hard. Shiva's got it right with the legs. Hit the Smith machine or get a workout partner, you'll need one to go heavy.

Squat rack works well too. I go as heavy as I can because, if I fail, the rack will catch the bar.

Bench I'm more weary with, though. I don't actually BB bench anymore (except decline), only DB, but I have shoulder issues and therefore don't go as heavy as I'd like. Chest is a bit weak as a result.

Trainer has me doing some good golf stuff - cable twists, lunges onto a bosu with medicine ball twists on the lunge...good times and painfully difficult.

I went hard for 2 yrs. I hit a plateau in under a year. I needed a partner to help pull me up on the last few to force reps. We're talking 315 lbs. for 7 reps. I need to put some weight back on then get some more flexibilty. I feel like I'm losing both as well as fast-twitch muscle. I'd like to get back to 170-175. I was at almost 190 but that was too much for my frame.

Yeah, I always work out alone (albeit at the gym). I've never tried to get anywhere near that heavy. My 1RM is probably only somewhere in the 200lbs range right now, although I have no idea because I never have tried for a 1RM. 315 is huge...especially for 7 reps.

I'd like to get down to 190! But I'm down to 210 from 260...so that's a start.
