This is only what I do and it works for me. I feel great. Everyone has different needs and mine was to get my heart pumping again. It is like any other muscle in our body. I don't wasnt loads of muscles but I want a toned body and that's why I use the weights. The first 2 weeks was really hard to motivate myself but now I love it because every week there is a difference and the inches fall off.
My favourite bit is after my workout I have a sauna, a steam and go into the aromatherapy room. Its great
Good luck
