Building more muscle is smart for a lot of reasons. First, it just looks good to have a well-muscled, toned body. Also, having stronger muscles reduces your chances of incurring serious injuries. And, there is an added health benefit: the more muscular you are, the faster your body will burn fat naturally. That is because your resting metabolism rate - the rate at which you burn calories while at rest - actually increases when you have a lower body fat percentage. People who have experience with working out with both weights and with cardio techniques (e.g., walking, jogging, swimming, biking, etc.) know that it can be hard to balance both within a regular workout routine.

Yes, in a nutshell, you can do cardio while building muscle but you need to go about it in the right way. You need to learn how to do cardio efficiently so that it does burn fat but isn't to the detriment of the lean muscle that you've gained. The most successful way to do cardio while building muscle is by choosing an exercise which moves your body around more than any other kind.
