I am about to finish the begining 8 week program. I noticed that the intermediate program as less reps in it. Should I stick with the begining program and more reps? I want to keep loosing weight and getting definition and not bulk up. I want to get to 140. I am a stout lady and hold weight well if there is such a thing. I run on the treadmill 6 days a week and I am on the ab program too.. I would very much appreciate help in this...Thanks
