 |
|
| Hi All,I'm of average build, 5'2" and 105 pounds; HOWEVER, I have very little muscle mass and a lot of blubber. I used to do both weight training and a little bit of cardio, but I ended up building some muscle mass without losing enough fat so I actually looked bigger than before working out. What kind of workouts should I do if I want to avoid becoming chunky with muscle but rather just lose more fat? I definitely need more lower body workouts. Unfortunately, running isn't my favorite activity and I don't have enough time to do more of marathon-type of long distance running. How does yoga/pilates work for my situation?Thanks so much!! |

| Stick with the cardo.. Get your heart rate up to its max and hold it there for 45 min. 220- your age. If you can do that 5 times a week you will speed up your metablims and burn fat. Dont weight train. Do a ton of situps in differnt ways. |
