I tryed that aproach it didnt work for me. I gain muscle mass but at the same time my waisline was getting bigger, now I'm back to doing whole body workouts twice a week and doing cardio everyday. I'm 5ft tall and was starting to look short and stocky.

Oh Gosh Lulu - I am 4'11" tall and even excess 3# make me look obese. And, I agree, in the past, my results have come from regular (5xweek) higher intensity cardio. But even then, my belly always remained fat.
When I was following P90X, I used to add morning cardio workouts as well. So I would workout 3x per week, twice a day to ensure I did 5 days cardio. Still, no joy. So, I have decided to give this Abs Diet routine a try (2x cardio and 3x weight per week). And, I am going to move my focus away from the belly for a whole month and let's see if that helps.
Something's gotta give!

Hi cheznaz - I'll throw out something completely different...
How about trying something like an all yoga routine for a few weeks and see what happens? If nothing else, it could help with stress.
That is quite an idea actually. Maybe I could do Yoga 1 day per week.
It will help eliminate stress and help me get more flexible.
What a great idea! Thank you so much!!
Now, any recommendation? I think I only own 1 VHS tape by Grace Lazenby - althought . . I think I also have a couple of tapes by Kari Anderson.
Kewl... Thank you Gayle! The change will surprise my body!
I am excited now!!!
I like Bryan Kest and Eion Finn. They're stuff is mostly Power Yoga, which is quite rigorous. Eion Finn has some free podcasts on his web site so you can get an idea of what he's like. I find him to be fun and playful.
Ali McGraw's "Yoga Mind and Body" is probably my favorite for a relaxing, mellowing routine with a great stretch. It's also visually beautiful and you should be able to find it for under $10.
I also like Shiva Rea and Rodney Yee, particularly Yee's "Yoga Conditioning for Athletes".
If you do a forum search on yoga, I know you'll find a ton of threads with great recommendations.
Hope this helps!

Lots of people for whom English is a first language say the same thing (I wasn't just refering to your post
).I second the Kundalini. I really like all the yoga that has been recommended on this site, (Eoin Finn, Rodney Yee, Baron Baptiste, Bryan Kest, etc.), but Kundalini has done the most for my stress and out-of-control hormones. I can't do without it now.

Not sure if this is all well-known stuff, but I thought this site interesting.
