Caloric Intake

[cinnttu92]

I'm at my ideal weight and I want to gain more muscle, so my PT and also Cathe( I asked her the same question on her forum and she answered me) said to increase my calories and only do cardio 3 times a week for 20 minutes. My problem is that I seem to be gaining around the waist area(not muscle). Has anyone had this problem and does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Why not just play with the cardio a bit? Try adding another day of cardio or just up the time from 20 to 30 mins 3 x per week and see what happens...

Hi Cinnamon, the advice is the same I would give but try to control the calories you take in. For example, be sure to add lots of protein in the extra calories you take (to build muscle and keep you full). Also, as Wendy suggested add an extra 10 minutes and an extra day to your cardio. This will help trim excess fat }(
