Can you answer SweetAdeline’s question about Bodybuilding?:
I am currently trying to lose about 50-60lbs, am 5′9 and have a med-large frame and desperately need to slim down. I just joined a gym and have heard conflicting opinions from different people- trainers, those who train for sports and workout fanatics. I have heard that an intense cardio workout alone is best for dropping excessive weight and slimming down, and I’ve also been told that weight training with cardio helps build the muscles that will burn the fat. I dont want to bulk up or be the same weight i am with solid muscle. I want to achieve more lean muscle and be MANY sizes smaller. Do I incorporate light weights into my routine or wait until I lose the weight to tone up. Which will get me better results?
I am also currently on Weight Watchers.
