CUZ YOU WILL BE BURNING THE PROTIENS OUT OF YOUR MUSCLE. HOWEVER IF YOUR LOOKING TO SHRED/CUT UP(BECOME MORE DEFINED) THEN CARDIO IS YOUR BEST FRIEND ALONG WITH AMPLE AMOUNTS OF WEIGHT LIFTING COUPLED WITH THE CORRECT DIET. MY SUGGESTIONS: 10-20 MINUTES OF CARDIO @ YOUR TARGET HEART RATE BEFORE STRETCHING & BEFORE WORKING OUT. DEPENDING ON YOUR GOAL. -------------- TRAMPLE THE WEAK... HURDLE THE DEAD!
