With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I'm not sure if I'm doing enough cardio to loose some extra pounds. I also swim laps for an hour and half on Tuesday and Thursdays. If i eat healthy will this workout help me loose? Cause from what I've heard.... cardio is the best thing for loosing weight.

However losing weight isnt always what a person is always trying to reach. While most people think losing weight will get them that toned and defined (lean look) it most certainly will not, You will need to incorporate some weightlifting into that regimen if you want a toned and defined look as well.
