Default strength training

Well, I go to the gym 5 days a week. I alternate between upper body with stomach, and lower body with back. I like the free weights the best for upper body. It really makes you concentrate. I do bench press in three different positions, and then some tricep work, and then on the other days I concentrate on butt and leg strength.

I don't do any calf work because I have very muscular calves and don't want to build on that. I don't want my breasts and arms to sag as I lose weight, so I concentrate on that during my upper body.

There's a great book called "woman's book of Strenth" I got most of my information from that. I think the author is Karen Smith (?) but not sure.

Then I do 30 minutes of stair master after the weights. She suggests that, because the weights will burn off the glycolic fuel (or whatever it's called) that is usually burned of in the first 20 minutes of cardio - that way when you get to the cardio part, it burns fat immediately.
