    Eating healthy / at a deficit, plus getting my *kitten* to the gym for a workout 4-5x a week has helped me lose body fat. As for cardio, I love doing HIIT on the treadmill or elliptical. Also love weight lifting.

    I am not really sure what you are asking? It is impossible for me to gain any sort of muscle on a deficit. I know that I gotten stronger and better at using cardio equipment after using it for so long.. maybe you should just switch it up. Run, elliptical, stationary bike, etc.

    Running. It won't make you bulk--as a woman you'd really have to be into heavy lifting to bulk up. Running finally made me lose a ton of inches around the hips and, even trickier, on the inner thighs.

    I do 30-60 min of interval elliptical and I've lost 10% body fat in 10 weeks. I've mainly gained muscle in thighs and my butt looks great, lol. I also do 50 kettlebell swings with a 25 pound kb at least 3 times a week and general toning with hand weights

    Running (20+ miles a week) and one boot camp class a week. I have nearly lost all of my muffin top and I too, lost fat on my inner thighs. I also eat at a deficit. Eat mostly non-processed foods, no fast foods. Sorry, you only asked about cardio! But there you go!

    I generally walk 30 mins then 10 mins of zumba (working up my stamina on that I always feel like I am about to pass out lol)

    I have in one week lost 1 inch on my chest, waist, and hips (3 inches total) So this seems to be working for fat loss for me.

    cardio - walking on a incline of 7-12 at speed of 3.9mph to 4.9mph keeping my heart rate 130-140

    diet- if im cutting for fun then just a calorie deficit...
    - if i have a deadline to cut e.g. 3 months... i do carb cycling to get to 5% or less...

    Try Zumba! I take it at a class with an instructor and I also have the Wii game for it. Its a big time calorie burner and its fun.

    Gaining muscle will ultimately help you with fat loss. That's why lifting is a magical remedy...

    That being said--I do elliptical, spin, walking, and as much strength training as I can fit in...
