so honeybunch, I'm curious how you're doing it now? I agree, after finally losing the 20ish lbs I want to lose, I'd be TERRIFIED to put some of it back on! On the other hand, if its merely weight, but all muscle and the clothes fit the same if not better, that might not be so bad.

Please tell me that the rest of my life won't be a continuous cycle of leaning/bulking/maintenance. Eventually once I get leaned and bulked to how I like I can just settle into maintenance forever right?

and along the lines of that question, when you put on "weight" while bulking, does it affect your size?

Alright so let's see Leaning: circuit or endurance weight workouts (i.e. Powerhour, SS, PP) plus cardio of course (6x/week????) Bulking: PS, SH, PUB/PLB, CTX weights (kind of surprised by that actually), Gym Styles Maintenance: Basically do a little bit of everything, and particularly I...

Can you get even more specific on actual rotations for the different phases, using Cathe videos? In other words, do all my work for me? :) I'm really interested in this!

So in a 3-6 month period, what sort of rotation would you suggest to accomplish this "build then lean out" strategy? also what sort of diet/calories?

what rotation are you doing?

I'm trying to put together a 3 month rotation and am wondering what ya'll think on this subject. SHould I build the muscle with S&H type workouts and then lean it up with endurance or should I lean up with the endurance and then build the muscle after?

thanks!

I've seen it mentioned a few times and was wondering

I like it! I get the basic idea. I guess I'm just wondering what the general opinion is on what weights work I should be doing while tryingto 1)lose weight and 2) get ready for this half marathong...should I be doing heavy weights like PS or SH or more endurance type? should I do a split or full...

oops sorry! Guess letting you know what my runs are would help! RIght now I'm doing the run/walk beginner thing, each one lasting 30 mins. Starting June I will be doing an actual half marathon training plan (hal higdon).

RE: HELP I have plenty of my own questions so I don't know if I'm the right person to address your concerns but my first suggestion is to add more serious weight lifting to your routine. Lifting weights and building muscle should take care of the "squishy" issue.

So a question for the veteran runners...if a person's running schedule is as follows... M- T- run W- TH- run F- S- run S- run how best would you plug in other workouts...specifically cross trianing and weights? should I be doing circuit type workouts which combines both (such as the...

Diane, yeah that idea of doing a Cathe cardio video for 2 days/wk is probably a good one. Smart girl! Stillhavent really heard any others pipe in on the how often I should be doing the wts though. again, your idea to do the 3 day split and then 1 full wts is probably the best compromise. :)

I agree, I can't wait until I can run straight for at least 3 miles. I feel like the run/walk is not getting me in the right direction as far as weight loss. That's why I upped it from the 4x/wk to 5-6. I just felt like I needed more cardio. Once I can run at least 3 miles I will cut back to 4x.

I'm running 5-6 days a week, well its a run/walk at the moment, and am wondering about adding in weights. I was thinking I'd do PS for 8 wks, then GS series for 8 and then SH for 8. Something like that. Should I do the weights daily (meaning, I would do each tape twice a week) or would just once...

In the early stages of a beginner running plan when you're only doing 30 mins or so and more walking than running, should I add other workouts into my plan to get maximum weight loss? I'm trying to lose weight and was thinking I needed to add something to this. my plan has me run/walking 4x...

thansk for the advice. I can't believe I actually need to eat MORE but it sure would be nice not to be starving all the time and living for my next meal...

I've been struggling for 18 months with my wieght. Exercise has remained consistent (and yes, I've changed it up quite a bit to keep my body guessing), diet has remained the same in general terms although I've changed up from WW to Jenny Craig or just counting calories. NOthing has worked. I've...
