Thread: What is more important when getting into shape?

They are both important....

And you can only base your ultimate goal, on your training and diet.

Both, but as long as I'm lifting & doing cardio, I don't seem to gain weight no matter what i eat.

I'll say diet. training is also important but diet is where it all starts.

Like asking which is more important when driving to work

The car, or driving?

You need the diet to get where you want to go,
But you need to work out to get there

Training is more important.

I said diet, but it can change depending on what your definition of "in shape" is. Is it razor sharp abs? Have a lot of strength? Be able to run long distances? Just be in the "normal" BMI ranges?

In shape can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people.

It's complicated, because jagged shapes require cardio, but octagonal ones do not. Also, elliptical shapes benefit greatly from Elliptical trainers, as the name suggests. Of course it is of great importance to differentiate between the circular and the elliptical shapes, as the circular deviants expand into square parameters.
