I really need to start toning

in Getting in Shape
I am an Oct 2012 bride and I've lost about 30 lbs since last Feb.   My goal now is to start toning.  My main workout has been mostly cardio and a little bit of strength training.  I know i need to step up my weight lifting, but do I need to cut back on the cardio?  My diet is good but I am afraid if I cut back on the cardio the weight will come back on.  Any suggestions?

    Hey there!! What kind of workout program are you doing? I'm currently toning and building muscle. I'm doing a weight training program at home and running for my cardio. I'd love to help you if you have any questions. Take care! Amy

    Static training is a really great way to combine both. I used to take a boxing class, and we would start by jumping rope for 5 miinutes. and then 25 minutes of static. I wish I could still afford and have time for the class, because my legs looked the best they had in my whole life.
    Recently I do the P90x videos at home which incorporate both. The last couple weeks I've done two cardio sessions and one strength session per week or more, and I've honestly noticed a great difference. Yesterday I even put on my "skinny" jeans from 2 years ago, and they fit.....a little snug, but they fit. I really like the Legs/Back video. Depending on your "trouble areas". You will just need a band if you don't have weights, which I prefer. Good luck!! And congrats on the progress!

    I do the Jillian Michael's videos, it's circuit training - so cardio mixed with strength moves. It's toned me up quite a bit (and quickly). I also find hot yoga tones up my arms quick
    good luck
