At 5'6, 116 lbs and 18%BF... you need to see an optomotrist if you think you need to lose fat.

Just a thought and a good quick read I came across...
Wayne Westcott, Ph.D. conducted a study in which 72 over weight individuals participated in an eight week exercise program. The participants were placed in two groups. The first group performed 30 minutes of endurance exercise on a stationary cycle. The second group performed only 15 minutes of exercise on the stationary cycle plus an additional 15 minutes on weight resistant exercises. At the conclusion of the study, the "endurance only" group lost a total of 3.5 lbs.; 3 lbs. of which was fat and a half pound was muscle loss. On the other hand, the "endurance and weight resistive" group lost 8 lbs. with an actual fat loss of 10 lbs. and an increase of 2 lbs. of lean body weight.0 -
Why are you so damn terrified of gaining muscle? You mention this in nearly EVERY post you make. MUSCLE LOOKS SEXY AND IS NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.0

Yes! Running is very effective so that is why it's my cardio of choice. Course, I like to mix it up to here and there and eat around 1200 calories each day. Best of luck!0

I'm of the opinion that, if you're on a cardio machine and you're not changing the resistance or the speed regularly (HIIT), but just plodding along at the same pace and intensity, you're kind of wasting your time... Bust it hardcore, then recover. Your metabolism will be scorching for the next few hours.0

I have done Insanity and then TurboFire. These are programs through Beachbody and have a lot of cardio. MY favorite is TF because of the fast pace punching and kicking moves. The up beat music is a plus to get you moving. It may take time to get in sync with the routines but as long as your moving you will be burning the fat!0

Elliptical (HIIT), walking, running for me. I started out at 25.6% BF and now, I'm 22% BF, lost 4 inches off my waist and 3 inches off my hips. Hoping to get down to <20% BF by GW.0

Running and brisk walking has helped with the calorie deficit which in turn helps me to lose fat.0

whats that
cycling classes.. riding at different intensities, standing up, 2 inch hovers, frontward, backward, 'hills'..
it's great.0 -
Oh, okay, did not notice your actual stats. You look good already and have a low BF%. If you're afraid of gaining huge muscles (psychologically), try doing light weights and high reps (not more than 15) - it would be a slower process to getting a toned look than lifting heavy but you will get there eventually. From what I've read, this works on a long term basis.0
