Hey there Cathe and the boards!
I have a question for you all...some advice/guidance needed.
I have been an AVID exerciser for over 10 years, but along the way I have done a little and got results, too much and ended up getting bulkier (from weights), and something in between and achieved results as well.
Now I just turned 36, and I am looking to start over again. I want to find a balance between life and working out, a balance between weights and cardio. I want to lose some inches in my legs, but that is also where I tend to get too bulky with too many cardio and too many weight workouts.
I don't know where to begin again. I have a home gym complete with everything, and I also belong to a gym for the classes and some cardio equipment I do not have.
I used to be an avid runner, but got tired of that and the results from it also stopped. I am just so confused as to what is a good balance. Cardio one day and weights the next?
I am 5 ft. 1 1/2 and weight 119 pounds. I am lean in the upper body and "fatter" in the butt//hips/thighs.
I lurk a lot on the board, and love my Cathe tapes. I like to throw them in for a change each week.
But, my BIG ?? is how to find something that will work without getting overboard/doing too much. And of course, I want results from what I do.
Any advice?
When I was in my 20's, I did not need to do much to get results. Now it seems as if I can exercise til the cows come home, and nothing works anymore.
I took a huge break (4 months recently off) to give my body a rest after so many years of pounding the pavement and getting nowhere. I am ready to come back, but don't know where to start.
THANKS!
Pamela
