However, to strengthen muscles one needs at least one intense cardio activity per week. Try walking for 40 mins at a good clip for a couple weeks, you may not even lose as much weight as when you did high energy CV workouts, but you will burn more FAT, as opposed to carbs. Weight training is a great place to build the muscle you want. Want to bulk up, focus on a lot of weight, less reps. Just tone up? then more reps, less weight. Important for both - do a lot of negatives, and do your lifting very slowly, 5 secs up, 5 secs down. Negatives = the downward (usually) motion of an exercise. For example, when you lower the bench press down to your chest after lifting, or letting the dumbell down after lifting it in a bicep curl.

I've been following cardio and weights for 6 months now, great tone and size, result! Cardio is just as important as weights for a healthy look, not the hulk look Andrew Picridas Wed, 15 Aug 2007 21:48:20 +0100 http://www.musclebulletin.com/articles/index.php/fat-loss-mn/33?task=view#josc500 As a personal trainer i have been telling people about the need to do weights along with cv to get a well toned and defined body. I lost a stone last year after doing a 3 day split with extra cardio on days off weights. I am going to follow the same plan this year for the first 4 months of the year. This plus a little bit more protein meant my eating habits more or less stayed the same , and i look better. ps any vacancies for a 45 yr old fitness instructor and football coach!!!!!!!!!! roy ashman Wed, 02 Jan 2008 18:21:36 +0100 http://www.musclebulletin.com/articles/index.php/fat-loss-mn/33?task=view#josc652 I cycle daily in the summer and have quite good muscle toned legs which I would like to keep through the winter!, I joined the gym and am currently doing 2 -3 spinning classes a week and other nights doing 30mins cardio workout on the exercise bike and 15mins hill climb work out on bike, from reading the posts should i also be doing some resistance training to maintain muscle, even though it built up originally from just cycling?
