Hi everyone,

I do 45 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of weights, 4 times a week. I do the cardio to burn off fat and weights to increase my endurance. However, because I am low-carbing and therefore, theoretically at least, I am more likely to be burning fat than glucose/carbs during my cardio sessions, would it be wiser to reduce the cardio and increasre the weights training (as weights boosts post-training metabolism and muscles burn more calories)?

What weights:cardio ratios do other people here use and why?

Marissa.
