So, you may remember I'm in a Fitness Challenge that will be judged based on lost bodyfat. Challenge ends a week from Saturday. The trainer (my previous 1-1 PT) had us doing some weights and a ton of boot camp style workouts. I did okay so far, 11-15 lbs lost, 3-4% bodyfat, all in 7 weeks. Others did better so far as I learned I had a distinct disadvantage being already active and them previously inactive. Oh well, lesson learned. I will take my changes as positive regardless if I don't win.
Anyway, as you may recall, my PT and I were having problems with each other and when I commented about missing heavy lifting, he wasn't accomodating, so I started working with another trainer to add that back in about 2.5 weeks ago. I just missed it too much, my body craved it. Here's the thing, my new trainer had said muscle building is key to bodyfat loss. Do you agree? Others say, cardio, cardio, cardio. Well, which is it????
Any last week recommendations to go all out?

For the curious, I discovered the root of the problem with my first trainer--he thought I had a thing for him, so was distancing himself, but also misinterpreting a ton of banter and then correspondingly not treating me as nicely as I was used to, leading me to feel mistreated and confused...our banter had never changed, but his perception had. Anyway, I'll be switching to her as our relationship needs to cool down to someday return to its previous good vibes. She's cool, I'm happy, and stronger every day.
