What comes after cutting?

dimroses

Hello,

I started a mini cut in July and I’m thinking of now going back to maintenance. Prior to the cut I had gone through the process of repairing my metabolism by reverse dieting from 1200 calories to 1700.

During my cut I decided to be conservative with 1500 calories and adding 1 hour of steady walking on a treadmill every day.

To go back to maintenance, should I jump back to 1700 or should I reverse diet? Should I wean off the cardio?

Facts: 5 FT, 109 lbs, 6 days of weights (during maintenance and cutting), 1 hour walking (cutting)

TIA!

200 isn't much of a jump, personally don't see the point in prolonging the process.

Why would you stop exercising? You should be exercising for health and fitness whatever you want you weight to do. But exercise should also be enjoyable for sustainability so wondering but why you walk indoors on a treadmill?
(That sounds like a punishment to me! )
It's also not going to improve your CV fitness doing the same thing every day.
