Hi Cathe!
I'm just getting back into these forums after a month, because I just moved. Your reply to someone about how long it took you to get back in shape after your baby was inspiring to me because it reminded me it takes hard work to get where you want to be, and I know I don't always work hard enough. (And I second the thread post that you are a rarity!)
My question for you though is my goal is to have more muscle and definition. I have some muscle already, but need to lose the extra fat around them, espcially thighs and stomach. I know cardio is good to lose fat, but also the more muscle you have the more calories you'll burn. So I'm wondering if I can only exercise for sure about one hour in the morning and maybe some in the evening-depeding on work/family-to exercise and sometime on the weekend, should I foucus more on weight vs. cardio like three days weight and 2 cardio? Or do even amounts of each? In the past I know I've done more cardio than weight. I mostly use Bodymax and IMAX sometimes Circuit Max, MIS and PS Legs. I would like to use the strength tapes more but worry that If I do an only weight tape more often, I won't lose the extra fat, so I alway end up doing BOdymax or IMAX. Sorry for the long question and hope it wasn't too confusing.
In case this helps for your answer, I probably have about 10-15 more pounds to lose of fat - Iam where I am now becuase of you and your tapes!
THANK YOU!
Kim
