Basically, I'm a strong believer in "if it ain't broke, you don't fix it". If the cardio route had worked for me, I'm sure I'd have stuck to it. EveryBODY seems to have a different tolerance for it.

But women are hard gainers who put on fat easily. It's in our hormones. For many of us, we build like hard-gainer guys, and we gain fat like endomorph guys, except it's distributed differently. So reshaping our bodies takes a LOT more strategy - and it's often a case of working SMARTER, not MORE. To complicate matters, we have less testosterone to begin with - the very thing that will help us shed "feminine fat" - thighs and bottom fatty deposits. The more testosterone we can stimulate, the better able we are to shed these pockets. And the things that really work are NOT obvious - for most of us, it's only been trial and error that has lead us to figuring this out.

Cheers bud.
