Hi,
I have a dumb question to ask... Some days I have a great cardio workout and other days, I don't (even though I try every day!)
I've been reading some books -- the last several days I've been skimming through "body for life for women" and it seems the author (as well as the original "body for life" author) advocates just doing cardio up to 20 minutes or a half hour and then alternate those days with weight training.
I've noticed quite a lot of success stories in the book (as well as on this forum) in following the guidelines from these "body for life" books.
I currently do about an hour of cardio six days a week and up to an hour and 15 minutes or so of overall body weight training. I'm obviously burning fat here and gaining some muscle, but I'm not doing so good on losing as much weight as of late. (*And yes, I totally understand weight loss can slow down as you gain muscle and/or get closer to your target weight goal ).
From an exercise perspective, is exercising less bring better results than exercising more in order to lose weight and "transform yourself" as the "body for life" book/s advocate?
I'm just wondering if this "body for life" plan would be more effective than what I'm currently doing to lose some weight on the scale
Thanks!
