I know this time it's for good - I "get it" now & would never be able to do it without SparkPeople and the fabulous support of my friends here - Thank you so much! You've changed my life!
I'm a cardio girl I love it when my heart is racing and I can feel my muscles twitching. That is when I know what I am doing is working.

And I'd take ST over cardio ANY day!!
I do cardio becuz I know I have to/should. But I don't really like it.
And I like ST becuz I think muscles are sexy. But I also know I won't see muscles if I don't get rid of the fat. It's a vicious circle!

I prefer cardio because I enjoy aerobics classes to music so much but I enjoy weights also.

I don't enjoy either...sorry, I know that's not what I should say. I like to walk places, so if I'm going somewhere that's great. But I find both boring. I am trying to adjust my attitude, though.

I like both. Cardio to burn calories & I just love to lift weights.

I love the rush I get from cardio! I make myself do circuit strength training and find I love how my muscles feel afterward.

I find it easier to do cardio. I really seem to struggle getting my strength training in.

I like both.....it depends on the day for me. I like to sweat with cardio and I like the strong feeling I get when I do strength training...don't think I can chose which one I like better.
Have a great day everyone!

Can't choose one...though I'm more likely to get my ST in over cardio just because I can fit ST in easily during the day. But I love that feeling after cardio.
Taking it one day at a time.
If you are going to have a treat make sure you enjoy each bite.
My lowest was around 139...making my way back down and hopefully farther.

Both! I love doing intensive cardio and working up a sweat and then hitting the weights for the burn!!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, margarita in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally wornout and screaming, "WOO HOO!! What a Ride!!!
Freedom is the difference between living and just existing!!

Strength training is my favorite. I feel so strong when I'm doing it, I like when I can see the muscles getting bigger, and I like that my body burns more calories throughout the day the more muscle I have.
