been going to the gym, no difference

J.a.n.n.a Posts: 2 Joined: 2005/03/15	2005/08/31, 08:30 PM Hi, ive been going to the gym for 2 months about 4-5 times a week doing cardio, and about 1-2 times a week doing strength training. I see no difference in the way my body looks and am still the same weight. I'm thinking theres something REALLY wrong with my diet. Help please!

Weight training has and will make a BIGGER differance in your body. Even more so that cardio. Persoanlly i'd do weights 3 4 times a week, cardio maybe 3 times. Theres many "cardio bunnies" at my gym spend countless hours on cardio machines......to no avail. Weight traiaing is more important in fat loss than people think. -------------- Friends don\'t let friends squat high... People don\'t reach thier true potental, only those who seek it.

A diet doesn't mean heathly food, but with all the fads out there, the connotation of diet is that its health thing.
