Being a mum I don't get a lot of time to get into the weights room but I do enjoy these programs when I can get there. Hi there,

What are your thoughts on weight programs like Body Pump and Body Power? Being a mum I don’t get a lot of time to get into the weights room but I do enjoy these programs when I can get there.

I certainly don't mean it's enough or that it can replace weight training. I just mean it builds more muscle than standard walking!

However, I am a bit sceptical for I think I have learned that the only way building muscle is to lift heavy weights. Anyway I know many people who`d agree with you and swear that biking/walking or running hills did the job for them. Would you be so kind and explain this to me? Thank you so much!

So hard to say what to do... I'll just try eating less and cut down the cardio whenever I feel like I can :-) Thank you for replying so quickly! :-) Kat, well, during those two months I was really, really stressed but not anymore, maybe two weeks of being more relaxed now.

I'm also familiar with the Poliquin stuff as well as the downsides of doing cardio. I also had to give up cardio for other reasons (a back injury and rotten weather, couldn't bike to work!) this spring and it made my appetite sink as well as my fat%, which went down to 15,3. That was 2-3 months ago. And now, when I've been able to bike to work almost every day, I'm eating like a pig and my weight's gone up and prolly my fat% as well. Could it really be that my relatively easy 25 minutes a day (sometimes twice, sometimes not at all) by bike might cause that? I've also seemed to gather some fat on my belly which is unsual for me. Running I haven't added back if couple of 10K runs don't count, I just do hills and tabata intervals. So would you suggest I give up the biking to work? It really is not nice, not because I'd be attached to cardio but because it's so nice, being out and all... But anyway, I really, really want to get lean again! Glad if you can shed some light on this :-) Best wishes from Helsinki! Hey,

Couple months ago, i stopped doing cardio, because it just didn't feel right anymore. Suddenly my body fat dropped 3,5 percent, just changing my cardio workouts to German Body Comp Program. I guess you know this one, if you are a Poliquin fan :D Interesting article!
