Cardio Only?

I only do cardio for now, specifically, high-intensity Zumba twice a week. My local Curves closed down, but I had good results with the circuit training. Unfortunaly, I'm in a small town, and the only gym now is just weights and treadmills. I quit my membership because it was just boring, and I couldn't work up the enthusiasm to go. I have no trouble going to Zumba classes--it's the only excercise I've ever looked forward to! I'm losing weight, but I'm also showing some muscle definition. Perhaps when I'm closer to myn goal weight, I'll pick up a Zumba Toning class with weights. I should mention that I'm a low-carb dieter, and I'm in ketosis, so my body is burning fat, not muscle. Good luck to you!

You can be in ketosis and still burn muscle. Any significant weight loss will include lean muscle tissue loss regardless of what diet you do.
Like I tell others..........why wait?

The 1st time I lost a lot of weight (50 pounds) I just ran and did work on my abs. I added weight lifting after I lost my weight. This time I'm doing both. We will see how it works lol.
