what should my cardio be?

I look pretty skinny for being 5'11 163. but i am unhappy with the fat around my gut love handles and sides. and maybe my legs too but they are also skinny. everywhere else i can barley pinch the skin. so what should i be doing when i go do the weight training.. run for 20 min? 30 min? what machines should i use and so on. thank you

It sounds like you are probably an ectomorph, so you may find your fat comes off easily just with the right weight routine and a cleaner diet. Check the nutrition forum for the grocery list for healthy eating and make your food choices from it, eating 6 meals a day that have good carbs, lean protein and good fat. If you want more muscle, I would skip the running for now. -------------- There is more to us than we know. If we can be made to see it, perhaps for the rest of our lives we will be unwilling to settle for less. Kurt Hahn
