Hi
I regularly (4 nights a week) perform the following at home :-
30 mins weights (dumbells) - varied over legs/shoulders/core
followed by
30 mins intense cardio - spin bike
I am a 48 yr old 6ft 2 ectomorph shape and my main goal is to achieve muscle strength as opposed to losing weight.
I understand the importance of the cardio (the reason i am doing it is i have a high cholesterol count, and want to keep fit and healthy), but all my life i have been plagued my muscle weakness.
Am I actually losing muscle strength as a result of my cardio ?
Is there any way i can tell if this is happening to me? How can i tell if my body is burning fat or muscle?
Thanks in advance
