The menu at the top gives you access to dietry issues & exercises while these message boards have a history of hottly debated issues, such losing weight, getting that six pack and so on. You'll notice at the bottom of the page there is a little box where you can type your question. once done it will pull all the debates/discussions on that subject. You should also sign up for a program, which it will create for you too. Great stuff. Now that's where you should start. Cardio work is essentially activity that causes your heart rate to increase, so it can be walking, jogging and or running. It could also be other mechanical means, eliptical trainer, cycling or rowing. While resistance or weight training is associated with slower movements that don't drive your heart rate upward as quickly as cardio and are exersizes that require you to utilise weight to complete them, dumb bells, bar bells, body weight and mechanically set up tools such as smith machines, pec decks etc. Hope this helps you go forward? Cheers. warren

It sounds to me like you need to fine tune what you are eating. Why don't you list here what you eat in a typical day and what time you eat, then we can try to help you fine tune it a little for fat loss. -------------- GYPO (JK)
