Hello!

Wednesday i did cardio for 30 min and thurs cardio for 45 min. My plan is to add weights next week. any suggestions from all of you that are doing great with them. I was told once to start with biggest muscle groups because it gave me the biggest results meaning that by building large muscle groups i can burn more fat.. sounds right? Thanks Misty

Misty, work all your major muscle groups, and allow for at least one day of rest inbetween your lifting. Your muscles actually build when RESTING (this is because you are tearing them down when lifting, and the resting period is when they build up bigger than they were before). I suggest doing back/shoulder/arms one day (so upper body) two days later do butt/legs/abs (lower body) and then two days later do the upper bosy again. Just keep alternating, and make sure that in the weeks you work the same group, work the other group twice the next week. For example: week 1 - upper body on mon, lower on wed, upper on friday. week 2 - lower body mon, upper body wed, lower body fri and so forth. Good luck!
