    Here is a perfect example of something a few of us on the F&E board keep going on and on about....

    Women's obsession with excessive cardio will rid you of your lean mass and not have massive impact on your fat.

    - eat more lean protein
    - start lifting... not Barbie dumbells but hard!!!
    - unless you're endurance training (for instance long distance runners), then there is no point dragging out cardio for more than 45-60 minutes... less can be more
    - the low heart rate "fat burning zone" is a myth

    and for the last time... no YOU WILL NOT BULK.

    When I was Ironman training I would have 15 hour training weeks of cardio and GAINED body fat!!! I started lifting again in January and dropped 4" off my waist. And if you don't want to believe me read Rachel Cosgrove's account of cardio v weights when she was IM training.

    Thank you so much for sharing!! I didn't see your original post - just seeing it today - but great job on your second update!! I'm currently doing Insanity, which is mainly cardio but does include some body weight strength (squats, push-ups, etc.). I still feel like I'm not getting enough strength training in so I ordered Chalean Extreme and should have it by the time I start up Month 2 of Insanity (a week from tomorrow). I'm hoping that my results will kick up a bit, as I'm noticing the inches aren't going down much any longer and neither are the pounds.

    Again, thanks so much for sharing and congrats on your second month results!! :happy:
