classes are no good without some sort of muscle building training...try resistance execises (weights, bodyweight etc)

the wts you'd use wouldn't be heavy enough to build muscle and maybe not even maintain it although it's better than nothing. I would get into a structured weight training program to build musle which burns fat

Hi

I would go to body pump along side a trainning prog! I would add 20-30 mins of cv in there keeping the heart rate at 70% that should do it! :lol:

u could use it as a recovery type session too as the lighter wts will actually get blood into sore muscles (at least they should be if training properly) and fluch out toxins and such. for cardio try interval training over steady state as it's more anaerobic thus increasing metabolism etc like wts do
