[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go OP! I wish I could shake every cardio junkie in DC and tell them that if they want to lose weight, build muscle, and/or alter their body composition, they need to hop off the treadmill and start lifting heavy!

I don't follow any lifting programs, I just work with a personal training. My understanding is that as long as you are getting a sufficient amount of protein for your weight/height, it doesn't matter what the source is. Women don't have the testosterone needed to really bulk up like guys do without a ton of work and supplements, so you don't need a ton of extra protein either.

I saw results from lifting within weeks. Such a good feeling.[/quote]

This is just a mini rant and isn't necessarily directed at you, but some of us really like cardio and aren't doing it just to lose weight.  I get anxious and moody when I haven't run for several days.  Weightlifting doesn't do that at all.  I definitely think that resistance training should be part of any exercise regimen (although I definitely have to force myself), but cardio is also necessary.  Balance![/quote]
