Not petite by any means. I hold most of my weight on my hips, butt and legs. That's just part of my heritage and I will never be twiggy and it's not my goal to be. Not that there is anything wrong with twiggy, it's just not the way I am built.  My legs are very strong and big for my short stature and want to avoid at all costs making them any bigger. I'd like to lean them out as much as possible without sacrificing strength or curviness. I, like most Hispanic women, like my curves. I think they're sexy! My usual workouts consist of 45 minutes cardio and 40 minutes weights per day. I alternate upper and lower body parts on weights daily. Any helpful info is greatly appreciated. I do not have a gym membership, because I just never get there. I have a Bowflex at home, hand held weights up to 15 lbs and plenty of cardio DVD's,videos, Bootcamp, etc... Feel freel to taylor a workout for me for my specific needs with what I've got to work with. I welcome all suggestions and input.
Thank you! |

. Curves are my best friend
. 45 minutes of cardio sounds like alot to me, even with the amount of weight you want to lose. You need to post up your diet and exact routine. You may need to clean that diet up.
I have made substantial gains in my lifts and have lost alot of inches. Not much on the scales, but my body has told me there is a big difference. I am lucky to get my cardio in 1-2x a week, if that and for only about 18 minutes.
Buena suerte
