I have a muscular physique but have an extra 10 lbs to blast off. I was going to try dropping weight training for a month and focus on cardio 5 days per week (1 intense step (Cathe), 2 interval (IMax and Intense Moves), 1 kickbox (Cardio Kicks), 1 steady state low-impact (FIRM CSM or modified Cathe).
It seems that whenever I take a break from weight training I very quickly move back up to my previous strength. When I took 12 months off from weight training to have my baby I was back to my previous strength within a month or two. Do you think this would be a good experiment or would I risk losing muscle instead of fat?
There are only so many days in the week that I can work out and to get the amount of cardio I need to lose weight I don't think I can fit weight training in too. My thoughts were that I would get toning benefits from the arm drills in kickboxing and from the interval workouts.
I'm so confused about all the info out there and conflicting opinions. I could really use the advice of an expert. Thanks!
