Hi Cathe - I'm a huge fan, and I know that your workouts are really helping me build muscle because I recently had to refrain from doing them for a while while we sold our house and moved to another city. Unfortunately I had to put away my weights and step so we could make my workout room look like a real den, lol. I didn't do your workouts for about 3 weeks, although I did continue to walk/jog on the treadmill. I was able to stick to clean eating 90% of the time, and I found it really interesting that my weight went down 3 lbs., but my pants felt tight! Not only that, I lost a lot of strength. When we got settled into our new home and I got my workout room back up and running I gained the 3 lbs. back, but my pants fit me again! So in my book that's proof that muscle takes up less room than fat.
All of this leads me to a question. What do you think is better for building lean muscle mass and lowering overall body fat, more weights or more cardio? For example, is it better to do 2 short, intense cardio workouts and 4 weights workouts per week? 4 long, slow cardio workouts and 2 weights workouts (upper/lower body split)? Or some other combination?
Thanks for reading - I'm really looking forward to the new DVDs!
