Should I build muscle, too?

Many dieters find themselves confused about whether they should focus entirely on losing weight and burning fat or if they should also build muscle. The easy answer is that the two are mutually exclusive in that you can't expect to become cut and ripped if there are layers of fat on top of the muscles.

P90x is an at-home fitness center marketed towards bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts, though the company seems to be trying to draw in dieters as well. The center includes DVDs, equipment and reference guides for you to follow while working out. Unfortunately, this program doesn't really seem to have a dieting component to it.
