If you are already doing PT every day, you dont need any more aerobic or cardio type routines. You need to do some weight training. Lots of squats and lunges will help your thighs. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Do not be discouraged; everyone who got where he is, started where he was.--anon ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

I was in the service myself and can tell you that I've literally seen people get fat from their food. I would suggest logging what you eat daily and figure out how many carbs/protein/fat you are consuming. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

Hey, but food some fod is better that no food. Are you sure that you are eating healthy food. At one time I htought I was and I acctually wasn't. There is a bodybuilder's grocery list floating on these boards. Take a look and add some of the foods to your diet. -------------- It's not what we eat or drink occasionally, but what we consume on a daily basis that determines our ongoing level o health. formerfatguy.com Not sure of author
josette Posts: 2 Joined: 2002/06/24	2004/01/15, 08:45 AM Thank you for all of your replies....Actually, my body works better with a High Protein,low fat,low carb diet. I eat a lot of seafood,chicken,low sodium canned vegtables...I stay away from bread,pasta, milk,cheese (because I am lactose intolerant). In response to lifting, I've tried that I got huge (muscle mass) but I have to incorporate some cardio to balance the two. I eat 5 times a day (sometimes) and in the mornings I eat really light (oatmeal or grits with no butter and protien drink). I stopped drinking coffee about 8 months ago and I drink Green tea with honey in it to get some sort of caffeine. Any suggestions on a work out program that Freetrainers provide....
