Hi All -
I'm looking for some insight on reducing my cardio.
I don't necessarily need to lose weight, however I would like to tone and define. My weight is where it should be for my height and body frame, however I feel "flabby". I have great upper body definition, however I have a layer of fat over my stomach and on my thighs. I've read of success with lowering cardio and increasing strength training to reduce overall body fat, but then I'll read conflicting information suggesting to reduce body fat to lessen strength training and increase cardio. Right now I do cardio 6 days per week, and have been hitting each muscle twice per week with weight training (PS Series), and while I've been happy with the strength gains, it has done nothing to eliminate any body fat. Hoping you guys can shed some light on the subject and steer me in the right direction. I'd like to cut back on cardio, but fear that my body has gotten too accustomed to 6 days of pretty intense cardio workouts, and fear anything less than that will result in weight gain.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Nicole
