Not likely. Cardio is best for losing weight and also cutting calories.

You'd have to work more than just one muscle group in order to see weight loss results.

@MsSwan forgot to mention i go swimming regularly as well which i'm pretty good at, im not really good at other exercises like treadmill or jogging.

@darkmere1983 Ok, well swimming is definitely cardio and you use muscles as well. Adding dumbells to the mix is good. The heavier the weight the better. I'm currently up to 12 lbs myself.
