That is mostly diet combined with some exercise. Try adding some weights.. again, get a routine from here. If there are any questions ask away. And certainly ask people at the gym to help out, too. -------------- I see the words you are typing, but all I read is *click*click*click* \"He may be gone, but Sanjaya proved that it doesn\'t matter how talented you are - if you believe in yourself, you can annoy literally millions of people.\" Jimmy Kimmel

Examples: Running (treadmill, elliptical machine, on a track), bicycle, swimming, fast paced walks, etc, etc.
