This summer I want to look extra lean! No, not extra lean as in ground beef extra lean!?
Anyways, I want to incorporate a cardio session in my workouts so I can start burning off that winter fat that I am carrying around! I am deciding on whether to do swimming for my cardio workouts or jumping on to an elliptical machine. I am quite fond of the latter, but I really want to try out swimming for a change. I have already started lowering the weight on my resistance training and increased the reps (10 – 15 repetition). All I that is missing now is just the cardio sessions which definitely will help speed up the process of redefining my whole body!
Although I know that some muscle mass will be lost through this new program I am not so quite worried about that. The only thing that I am worried about is sticking to the new schedule! Yes I will admit it. I tend to deviate on certain commitments in regards to my work outs (and may be other things 
), but if you’re determined enough to get what you want then you must go for it. Don’t hold back. I will come up with a cardio session by this week and I will have it posted on Saturday night.
I think my diet will have to be altered a bit to achieve my goal of toning down. I will try to reconfigure my portions that I consume, but I don’t think I will go as far as to calorie count. I am thinking in the lines of separating my meals into 5 snacking periods so I can maintain a optimal blood sugar level so I won’t feel fatigue throughout the day. But I will surely look into changing the way I eat so I can achieve my goal!
