Cardio only vs Cardio Weights Combo

[Skelly]

k....I do not like being called *fluffy* when I go to JA anymore.... I want to lose my marriage+babies+stress lbs....been working out 6 days/week for a while now and I lost 10lbs already...

I know I may be overly ambitious but I would like to return to my high school weight of 115 ...BUT....in reality I know I would appear to be anorexic so I should stick within the 130-140 range...125 if I really push it....


seeing that I have some serious poundage to shed should I do cardio only or do a combo of cardio and weights? I have been doing both so far and have no problem but I think I have been building muscle instead of burning fat which is what I want to do right now...

Who in Jamaica is calling you "Fluffy"?

Congrats on losing 10 pounds! Are you doing this with exercise only or a combination of diet and exercise?

Use weights for life time muscle and bone strength.

weights burn calorie tho.

Re: Cardio only vs Cardio Weights Combo

true words, Sue

It is said here that every pound of muscle in your body burns 35-50 calories per day. Every pound of fat only burns about 5 calories per day.

Go there for some free strength training exercises. They list all the major muscle groups in your body and provide a link to a page that displays loads of free weight exercises for that body part.

If you concerned bout being called fluffy as long as you losing inches and becoming healthier in the process the weight loss is secondary in the first stage but it will come.

^^^ What she said.

Muscle is heavier than fat so you can actually weigh more but be smaller. I know that some people say focus on cardio because you can't see the muscles you're sculpting under a layer of fat. However, I find that combing cardio, weights, and fewer calories gets me the fastest results.

Congrats on your 20 lbs! You ain't no play thing atall.
