[quote=Anonymous]I am amazed to see all the cardio suggestions and hardly any discussion of strength training. Cardio does not build muscle. If you want to tone and effect specific areas you need to do strength training. Targeting an area will not directly effect the fat in the area but strengthening those muscles will help the appearance of that area. A combination of cardio and strength training is more likely to achieve your goals then simply cardio.

Looking at the Peloton running programs, they all include different types of runs AND strength training. I suspect that the same holds true for other training programs. I don't run so I don't have experience in those areas. I do know that when I worked with my trainer our sessions were half strength and half cardio. The trainers I ride with on Peloton all stress that you need 3-4 strength classes a week as well as 3-4 cardio, minimum. My Doctor always mentions making sure that strength training is a part of every exercise routine.[/quote]
