Default Exercise Questions!
permalink
Just curious about a couple of thoughts that I've been having and hoping some can chime in and give their thoughts/opinions.

1) Does it matter to eat protein with the carbs? For example I have pumpkin for a snack, do I need a protein with it or should I be fine?

2) Is it best to eat before working out and if so what and when? My workouts include Power90 Cardio/ Power 90 Circuit Training, and an exercise bike (recumberment).

I am very overweight, however, I "think" I have a pretty big muscle mass under all of this. I sure am "athletic" it seems compared to those women I know who are 125-150 pounds, I can out play volleyball or almost anything like that. Of course they can out run me but my strength is more.

With that being said.. .how much cardio do I need a week, how much strength... Is it really true that now strength is more important than cardio?

Okay that is all for now.. I'm hoping to really "work" off the weight b/c I am trying to avoid so much loose skin.

Thanks,
