I also have to be able to do the push ups and sit ups. I am in the process of losing weight and am wondering how the 2(cardio and weights) affect each other. THanks Amy

I used to look like that, and after having 4 children, and the last one 7 months ago...I am trying to get that body back, is this possible? I have lost about 60 pounds since Sept. of 2004, and have been doing cardio only right now to get the fat off first (5 days a week, 30 to 40 minutes, one day of HIIT)....I am now 165 pounds, ugh and want to be 135 or less, with definition of course, well like her...what do I really need to be doing, my goal is July to have all the weight off, but I will be happy if next July I am completely in shape, it will be my 40th birthday..and want to be in the best shape I have ever been in....what do I need to be doing every day to get to this goal?
