In august of 2007 I weight 250 lbs!.!.through my own pace and exercise I have gone down to 215!.!.I am looking to continue and go under 200 lbs and hopefully to be an average weight ( Im hispanic and love my curves, so avg for me would be about 130-140 i believe) I am 5'3 and although I love being active ( I dont tire esily, have great calves from years of volleyball, and salsa dancing) and have recently begun spinning 3 times a week as a way to rev up the weight loss!. Would now be the time to begin strength training!? What should i be doing and how many times a day!? I dont wanna end up too flabby on the arms, or with a big tummy!.

Congratulations! In addition to the 3 spinning classes you should do 2 more days of light cardio (walking, biking, etc) and 3 days a week of strength training!. Most gyms have some kind of program where a trainer will show you what to do!. If not, find a trainer from a friend or coworker and buy one session for him/her to show you what to do!.

i would try swimming!. It's cardio and it makes you lose your belly, it makes your arms tight, makes your legs rock hard, and you get a nice toned, cute bubble butt! I do swimming and it's such a great sport to do!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
