Should I be working out more?

[Red_Raconteur]

I am currently at my ideal weight and I want to maintain my weight and tone up a little, as well as lose a little fat from my stomach. I have a fat layer on my lower abdomen and I want it to be flat by summer.

I have TKD training three times a week for an hour to and hour and a half each time. TKD is a combination of cardio (sparring, self defense throwing and fighting) and strength (repetitive kicking and punching).

Once I week I take an intermediate level yoga class for an hour and a half. That's pretty much all strength.

Once a week I have a class called core bootcamp for an hour that is a mixture of cardio and strength and focuses mostly on core body muscles.

Is there anything else I should be doing? I'm kind of under the impression I need some more cardio if I want to lose my tummy fat. Should I go jogging as well?

Ah, I forgot to mention my diet. I am a vegetarian (I get a lot of protein from other sources) and eat a lot of vegetables and whole grains. I use Livestrong.com to keep track of what I'm eating and normally stay within my set ranges for calories, fat grams, etc.

Well you seem to be doing great on the exercise part. Maybe your having sweets or too much simple carb (like white bread, white pasta, rice,..etc). If your not having the right food no amount of cardio will give you flat abs. Just in case, add a few sets of planks to your workouts. During the planks hold your abs tight. If you can't control your food, add a cardio of inclined walking (it gives a great butt and sexy legs). Jogging gives a flat figure, so it's a no no. Good luck ;-)

toning up means adding muscle. if you want to "tone up" you will have to add some (not a lot, but some) muscle to your frame which means your weight will go up just a bit from the added muscle.

it sounds like your cardio regimen is great. but you should be adding some sort of high intensity resistance training to your regimen beyond just the yoga considering the fact that, as a vegetarian, you will naturally be consuming a higher carb to protein ratio than most.

If you want to speed up the process, you can throw in some exercise machines (running/treadmill, elliptical, etc.). Oh & DO check out Pop Pilates on YouTube to tone up.

It sounds like you are doing everything you should be doing. The key is intensity. Are you pushing yourself as hard as you can in each of your workouts?

She's a good teacher. Not crazy about the music, but she's excellent nonetheless.

I think you have a pretty healthy routine going on. You may need more workout if you have more specific and agressive goals maybe, otherwise I'd say you're doing great!

[temptationfalls]

I would just throw in a bit of running. Otherwise, just keep things constant and you should be good to go.
