Cardio is for burning FAT, take the fat away, what do you have. Most women, especially women in the UK, don't have very much muscle. So what do you want, fat or muscle on your arms and legs?

'Toning' (although I DESPISE that word, it has done more damage to people's perception of fitness than any other word besides 'low fat' or 'zero impact carbs') is really building muscle.

Running may build up a bit of muscle on her legs and butt but it won't do anything for her upper body. Lose fat, nothing else there (no weights no muscle) BINGO WINGS!!!!!!!

I have seen a few women who LOVE running, they still have FAT jiggly ASSES with saddle bags, AND more and more and more running is required as the body adapts to those long cardio sessions.

More muscle, more calories burnt. Muscle is what gives shape to the legs and arms, fat gives lumps and orange peel shape to arms and legs. I have seen so many 'skinny fat' women in the UK with cellulite on their arms in their 20s, personally, I find it revolting and when I first saw it, was one of those things I SWORE I would never have.

Yes in your early 20s a bit of cardio and the stupid starvation diets most women do might get them in shape again, however this is NOT going to work in the long term.

So as I did advise in several PMs, full body workout, she can train EXACTLY the same as a man, sensible diet of whole natural foods, no sugar, and 20 - 30 min of HIIT each workout.

Heres a Hitt training example form Dave Draper:

Here's a simple HIIT sample for the free-spirited aerobic bum; choose your weapon (spinner, treadmill, climber, outdoor jog and run) and plan on twelve minutes of output. Start an easy warm up for four minutes, stepping it up comfortably as the minutes progress. Body in motion and number one endorphins engaged, you now blast it (according to your dynamite stores and desired explosion) for thirty seconds and back off for thirty seconds, blast it for thirty and back off for thirty. Repeat this thirty-thirty interval for a total of six sets, that is, six minutes. The final two minutes are committed to a gradual decrease in intensity and cooling off. You have completed your cardio effort for the day.

You expressed and challenged yourself, startled the dozing muscles and welcomed the sweet pain of gain. Boredom begets mediocrity. Enemies both, they deserve swift eradication. Let's hit the weights and build some muscle. Race ya to the bench press. Dave Draper
