It would build more muscle, and also be more efficient at burning fat and keeping it off of you too. I usually lift four or five days per week, different complementary muscle groups on different days and do stair climbing or other vigorous cardiovascular exercise one or two days per week.
For me, it's not about keeping the fat off. It's about endurance. I don't particularly need extra muscle, but I do need to erase the effects of 10 years of smoking.
