    Losing Fat vs. Losing Muscle

    Hello Everyone, I keep reading that in order to lose body fat you have to reduce your caloric intake, but in order to gain muscle you have to increase your caloric intake. I understand this, but what do you have to do to ensure that you do not lose the lean muscle you already have whilst...

    Ramp --- anyone?

    Hi Again! lwseymour: Thanks for the info on the Firm's Box. I am glad to hear it! The workouts do look good to me and it is usually a better deal to buy the whole package verses just buying the videos. I was thinking of getting the Super Step because it can easily be converted to an incline...
