Answer:
You can definitely
do less cardio and increase your weight
training for effective fat loss. In fact,
in the long run, it'll be more effective
because you'll keep more muscle. That means
when you go off dieting, your body will
be able to burn more calories and you'll
be less likely to gain it back. Doing cardio
only burns calories while you're doing it
- it doesn't build muscle.
I would suggest
at least 3 times a week weights and 2 times
a week cardio. With weights, you could feasibly
skip shoulders but I wouldn't recommend
skipping your back. That's where the biggest
muscles of the upper body are and they're
very importent for posture. If you don't
work the back, you may end up getting a
hunched posture and an unbalanced physique.
Shoulders get worked with other movements
and can be set aside for now safely. I've
got some fat loss articles on my site that
I think will help:
