Ive heard that while doing cardio, you only burn fat while doing cardio, but weightlifting you still burn fat after your done, how long do you burn fat for? Im skinny, VERY low body fat, if that makes a difference|||According to sportsmedicine.com, your resting metabolism rate will be higher for up to a few hours after lifting weights if you train hard.
"A number of recent studies suggest that vigorous weight lifting exercise may elevate calorie burning above usual resting values for several hours after exercise. However, the average person at the gym who rests for several minutes between sets of exercise will likely not experience a prolonged elevation of postexercise energy expenditure."
