Conditioning question

bgh707

Pardon my ignorance here...

My gym categorizes classes into categories such as yoga, dance, running, athletic training, and conditioning. Athletic training is typically mostly cardio but often involves some weight component. Right now, my typical schedule is yoga 1-2 times a week, athletic training 2-3 times a week, and running 1-2 times a week with an occasional conditioning class. So...should I do more conditioning? What benefits could I expect?

For further context, I've lost 30 lb in a little over a year and I'm looking to lose 15-20 more. My shape is naturally curvy and I'm pretty short, so I'll never look lean and lithe, and that's not the look I'm going for. However, I'd like to be "little" (as opposed to just short) and strong.

If your goal is just to get little, then what classes you take how often doesn't really matter all that much. Do something, do it with good effort, then just worry about your intake.

If your goal is more health or performance oriented, then that may change the conversation somewhat. But I doubt all that much. If you've got a decent mix of yoga + any of the others, you're probably fine.

Do the classes you enjoy the most more often. Long term the best exercise for you is the one that you enjoy and will stick to.

What do they mean by conditioning? More weights?
