    agree completely...build muscle for calorie burning and use intervals for cardio improvement...and besides which being little is one thing, but as you get older you start to lose muscle anyway, it is important to keep up muscle strength to help slow that process down.
    i would probably describe myself in a similar way to lori lynne, i always got strong pretty quickly,but the downside is i also put fat on really fast, at the moment i am working hard at toning .

    You can do both ! I am doing both myself. As the fat is gradually burnt, the underlying muscles rise to the surface and become more visible. that's what toning is about: having your muscles more visible.

    Lifting before you do cardio makes you burn the fat faster. I read that in a study somewhere.

    yes, muscle burns more calories pound for pound than fat, added to which exercise has profound biochemical effects on your body,including making your blood much better for more than 24hrs after the exercise day.
