because of my schedule i'm forced to do my lifting and cardio back to back. i have been doing about 30-40 minutes of my weight training then 20-30 minutes of cardio after. but i was wondering if its better to do the cardio first or after?

thanks compassionategirl, sorry i got the post confused.

bobbycore - in regards to your post, what would be an incorrect way to do cardio? i definitely don't want to lose any of the muscle mass i have, since i'm all ready pretty lean. for cardio i usally use the eliptical machine for about 20-30 mins keeping my heart rate at 158 thanks for the replies

no its not extremely flabby, as a matter of fact when i'm cold that area is completly tight. so i was just looking for a way to tone it up that little bit more. i'll try the lateral raises as well thanks.

since i have begun working out my chest has gotten significatly bigger (which is a good thing) but my nipples and area around them don't seem tight enough. and when i wear certain shirts it appears as if i have man boobs is there an exercise to tighten this up? my usual routine is incline bench press, decline bench press, dumbell flys, flat dumbell press, and sometimes i use the cable machine from underneath.

yeah i figured the formula wasn't accurate. but i can see some definition. but perhaps my body% is still too high. bobbycore- thank for the tip, i'll try that exercise tonight.

not sure on the body fat, on one of the online calculators it gave me 9% not sure on how accurate it is never had a pinch test. i've been working out for a little less then a year and only started working abs about 3 months ago.

i have a question about ab definition. i'm about 5'7" 145-150lbs with very little body fat. i've noticed my abs appear to form as one large muscle with very little definition between them. i usually do a few sets of hanging leg raises, rotary ab machine, and krunches at the end of my workouts. my question is whether i'm training them wrong, or should be trying something else to achieve some shape? any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks
