Hi Debbie! Why is it better to do cardio and weight work on separate days? What are the benefits as opposed to doing some cardio on weight days also? Does it effect muscle growth or something? Thank you!!

I have kinda a hard time determining my body type. I have an athletic build with broad shoulders and naturally a lot of muscle (especially in leg area). This would make me think i'm a meso. But I always I've been considered "overweight" or at the very high end of my group on the height weight chart. And I tend to get cellulite and lower belly flub very easily. This makes me think I'm a endomorph... what do you think?
My goal is to maintain/ increase muscle in my upper body while at the same time losing body fat which is kept on my upper thighs and lower abs. Can this me done? I'm not sure if this is neccessary or helpful for you to know but I'm 5'7, 21 y/o, and weigh 150-155 lbs. (weight fluctuates day to day alot). Thank you so much Debbie!
Well I was thinking about starting your september lower body rotation. Do you think that would be good for my body type? Thanks Deb!!
Honestly, any rotation is good for your body type. Meso's crave heavy lifting, though. But as long as you want to define and lose fat then yes, my Sept. rotation should work well. Especially because of the lower body getting worked twice a week.
So try it. Take your measurements, weigh yourself and if you can get your body fat checked. Then after the four weeks compare the numbers.
Have fun with it!
Hi guys,
Just wanted to stop in and say hi!
Debbie, I've started your Sept 08 rotation and have been monitoring my eating with fitday and I must say I've been doing pretty well with my eating. I want to lose fat also so I've been doing light cardio on my weight days. I just hope I dont burn myself out. Debbie, when doing cardio and weights, does it matter which is done first?
Thanks Debbie! Are you sure there is enough cardio in this one for me since I tend to have endo tendencies?
Another question if you don't mind, Debbie... Cathe just posted her Septemeber rotation... do you think this rotation has too much cardio and not enough weight training for me? Even if I go heavy on the weight days?
I hope you dont mind all my questions but I don't get the opportunity to talk to someone so knowledgable on fitness often. I have another question. I know you said it is hard to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time.. what if I did a rotation with more cardio and moderate weights one week, then the following week do one that is heavier on weights and lesser on cardio, then continued to alternate between the 2 every week? Do you think that would help build muscle while lowering fat? It would be sure to keep the body guessing... what do you think? Thanks so much!
