i run 3.5 miles (about an 8 minute mile) 6 times a week. i'm just not getting much out of it any more... anyone have any good cadio exercises suggestions?

thanks for getting back with me guys... 1.) rep range is 12 reps per set. 2.)i do a 3 day split mixed free weights and machine 3.)cardio is about 30 min a day 4.) resistance is about 40 minutes a day 5.) diet is mainly vegan... (eggs sometimes though so not 100%) try to stick around 1400 calories a day. i have never gotten a correct bf% calibration. i'm 5'5" 144 pounds. i wouldn't mind it if it was all defined muscle, but it's not... i'm solid, but not defined and look bulky. any suggestions?

hi all! i am so thankful to have found this community! i am a 26 year old female who has been lifting for about 6 months. i originally started lifting when i was on a 100% raw vegan diet. i found the diet to be to restrictive/isolating for my lifestyle so i switched to a vegetarian diet. since then i have put on a lot of unwanted bulk. i know most trainers say it is impossible for women to "bulk up" but my body really looks bulky (without definition). i run 3.5 miles 5 times a week and lift 6 times a week. i predominately follow a whole foods diet lots of fresh raw fruits and veggies, whole grains, every blue moon some cheese or something containing eggs but mostly it's vegan. i'm 5'5" 144lbs. lots of muscle, but i'm still bulky. i would like to trim down maybe 8-10 lbs. any suggestions? my lifting routine is: Monday/thurs: shoulders,biceps,triceps tues/fri: back, chest, abs wed/sat: legs and running 3.5 miles 5 times a week. thanks in advance! -regan
