Some people have suggested that doing more aerobics and less weight training make you loose more weight and be firm and some have said vice versa. Does anyone know which is beneficial and reasons why

Ideally a combination of both should be best. Adding muscle by weightlifting should increase the amount of calories you burn as you're doing aerobics. For overall health, I would think that aerobics is the more beneficial. It's important to keep in mind, though, that you'll probably have the best success with something that you enjoy doing (since you're more likely to keep it up!).

It is important to include three things in any workout, and that would be weight/strength training, Toning and Aerobics/Cardio.
You need to do both of them. They go hand in hand. You will firm your body up more doing weigh ttraining than you will doing aerobics and you will burn fat a whole lot more doing aerobics than if you are weight training.
Read this article on weight training and its importance and look up the article of cardio. You'll find them both very helpful.

It depends on your purpose for exercise. If it is to condition your cardiovascular system, I would suggest doing more aerobics. If you want to be more muscular, you should concentrate on weight training. In general, people do a mixture of both since they want to get the benefits of both aerobic exercise and weight training. Seek professional assistance so that you can reach your goal.

Both are really excellent as part of an overall exercise regime. Aerobics stimulate the cardio system and help raise stamina. Weight/strength training is good for building muscle mass and helping keep your structure aligned and healthy.

You should do both. The aerobics is cardiovascualr, which helps keep you're heart healthy and burns calories. Weight training increases lean muscle mass, which also burn calories even when you are not actively exercising.

both beneficial.
I would do more aerobics, but still incorporate resistance training, to lose most weight.
