It would build more muscle, and also be more efficient at burning fat and keeping it off of you too. I usually lift four or five days per week, different complementary muscle groups on different days and do stair climbing or other vigorous cardiovascular exercise one or two days per week.

Agree with you to some degree.
For me, until I get into better shape, you have to ramp up slowly. I have been working on this on and off for the past year and a half. My doctors noticed a HUGE difference when I started the treadmill as things got back to where they should be, and good ch went way up, and bad way down. I am now working on balancing out the diet.
I was doing more weight training last winter and spring. But this past summer, I was typically more active all summer, and whipped from the jetski. So I kinda slacked off. I got back on the treadmill in the fall as I was not as active, but then hurt my shoulder moving. It is still fucked, but getting better. Hopefully another couple of weeks, and I can start lifting again.
