Which of these is better for increasing your basal metabolic rate: cardio or weight training?

Which what?

Let see, I would say weight training since that tends to build more muscle. Cardio is good too though.

If you add a good diet of 5 small meals a day, you got it made.

Lift well! But don't forget to put it down afterwards.

the more muscle you have the higher your BMR.

Just because the majority believes it, does not make it true!

Depends on the cardio and the weight training.

Generally, Weight training.

Temporarily it can.

I understand it can temporarily but it will not have the same effect as resistance training does on the body.
