How long Does it take to see a1% go down and how much more cardio do i need?

    Here's how it all works:

    Diet = Lose/Maintain/Gain Fat and Muscle Weight
    Cardio = Most time efficient way to burn calories, great for cardiovascular health and endurance
    Heavy Lifting = Great way to burn calories too, necessary for muscle maintenance/gain & strength

    Just evaluate each one and figure out what you need to do. If you're already at a low bf%, I hear you have to work harder to get it lower. Not 100% sure why, or for that matter how to break through it and get further down, but this happens at around 8% or less I think.
