Need to lose body fat & not weight

[kittymom]

What is the best method for this? I have all of Cathes workouts. I try to workout five days a week. Any suggestions would be helpful.

TIA,
Shannon

Diet, diet, diet. Not cutting back on food, but eating healthy and clean. There are lots of threads about clean eating here if you'll do a search.

I agree that much of it is diet:make sure to eat enough calories to fuel your activities, but focus on nutritionally-dense foods, eliminating high fructose corn syrup/sweetener and (partially-) hydrogenated oils from your diet if you are currently using them.

Also, try doing full-body weight workouts, weight/cardio circuits, and not doing excessive cardio.

For example:'
Day 1: PLB (or lower body workout)
Day 2: moderate cardio
Day 3: PUB (or other upper body workout)
Day 4: moderate cardio
Day 5: full-body weight workout (like PH/ME/SS/PP)
Day 6: off/stretch
Day 7: off/stretch

Try that for 3 weeks and see if you are getting the results you want. If not, then change it up.
