Some good info in this thread. I was actually thinking of making one of my own last week.
I'm looking to drop 10-15lbs of "holiday weight" and just tone. In no way, shape or form do I want to gain more weight or bulk up.
Running is almost out for me because of shin splints. But trying to do cardio 3 times a week, and weights 3 times a week.
For more cardio, I'm looking into swimming, but I can't imagine being able to swim for that long with my stamina.
For the weight training, I'm currently trying to get my muscles back to where they used to be (when I was actually in shape) and tone from there.
Started eating alot more fruits and veggies during the day. Cutting back on the deep fried/sugary foods.
Does someone want to weigh in on the whole protein thing? If I'm looking to tone, should I still be having protein after weight training?!
