My answer: the best exercise is the one that I do. Whatever gets me moving!

Surf, walk, run, climb a mountain. Just move. AND have some FUN. Kids are skinny when they play. Do likewise.

Just get moving. It's all about breaking old habits and creating new ones (I'm typing this to not only suggest but remind MYSELF when I notice I've gained or plateaued)

Maybe the OP question is about burning fat instead of muscle because people are at higher risk for burning muscle during high intensity aerobic activity versus low aerobic activity, like walking, during weight loss.

The WL endocrinologist who works with my surgeon pounds this into my head because I'm a high aerobic kinda person and I've always burn more muscle than fat every time I see him.

So in terms of optimal weight loss, he would say low aerobic 30 minutes every day and resistance training ever other day never going more than 48 hours without resistance training.

I'm in the camp of do what you love so I I do what I love at high aerobic activity and weight train and eat my Protein with in 20 minutes of recovery.

Just to be clear, this is about weight loss and not about maintaining.
