I need a cutting routine for women!

[sk2012]

I'm not fat by any means, but I have noticed that most of my clothes, from the start of working out, don't fit anymore. Based on my progress log, I'm feeling that maybe I should include more cardio into my routine? Can someone please give me a cutting routine for 4 days or point me in the right direction? Or recommend what I should do to keep from becoming more bulky as my body tends to do.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Lower the calories you take in daily, preferably the carbs.

watch your diet.
In the gym: incorporate cardio like treadmill and elliptical machines within your weight training that should be high reps.
for example: start with 10 mns treadmill , jump into working out a muscle group then again 5 mns elliptical then back to weights for another muscle group then 5 mns treadmill or elliptical then weights etc...this variation will not let your system get used to a certain exercise and you will burn calories.
Total time : 10mns cardio, 10 mns weights, 5 mns cardio, 5 mns weights,5 mns cardio,5 mns weights, 5 mns cardio...total 45 mns you can make it 1 hour max. workout every other day. The day you don't workout watch your carb, sugar and fat intake.
try it !
