 karlaPreston 11 years ago | Hi Meagan. It’s going well. I still need to increase my cardio, but I’m really enjoying this new routine. I am doing the sets and exercises with minimal rest in between and it is keeping my heart rate up. Is cardio the secret to cellulite loss too? Grr.. I don’t like this aging thing lol |
| karlaPreston 11 years ago | Yes, I’m doing this workout 2 exercises at a time (1A and 1B) then (2A and 2B). Thanks Meagan; no rest time will certainly increase the heart rate and hopefully lead to greater fat loss. thank you |

That looks great! What you could do once your body has adjusted to the new work outs is decrease the rest periods in between sets. Are you doing this in a circuit or two exercises at a time? |

When you weight train, how intense is it? What exercises do you do? Are you doing this on your own or with a trainer? If you list what you do I can analyze it for you. |
| karlaPreston 11 years ago | Hi Meagan, I am doing both. I weight train 3 days a week and I do cardio 2-4 times a week; jogging up to 5 km or elliptical. |
| Meagan Lee 11 years ago | karlaPreston,
Are you currently exercising? If you are is it cardio, weigh training, both?? Meagan |
| karlaPreston 11 years ago | I’ve been doing well on the diet and exercise but I can’t seem to trim down my belly fat. Does anyone have tips for this stubborn problem? I’m almost 46 years old and am 5′ 4″ and currently 138 lbs. I would like to lose about 5-6 lbs. Feeling frustrated.. 🙂 |
