I know that muscle burns fat. But what if you are not really trying to burn fat? I mean, I weigh 102. And I started working out. I found that I really enjoy doing cardio more than any of the weight lifting machines.

Is cardio enough for me? I did a mile on the ski machine and a mile on the treadmill. And felt great afterwards. I also did some spot training..but am not really liking it too much..

Any input would be appreacited.

Have you tried pilates or power pump classes? Often, people don't like weight lifting because they are bored by it or intimidated. I would try a class that integrates weights (power-pump) or a class that uses resistance (pilates). However, there really isn't a substitute for weight lifing as far as muscular development goes.

Classes can be very motivating and less intimidating because others are in the same boat as you.

Hi,

Well I am far from intimidated from the weights. I just dont like it.

I have pilates tape at home. So maybe I will start doing that.
