Weight Loss Cardio Sculpt isn't a cardio workout. Jessica says that the point of the title is to understand that cardio burns calories in the moment but building muscle burns calories all of the time. This is a metabolic circuit workout. With the right weights, this workout is intense enough to give you a cardio workout, too--that is … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Weight Loss Cardio Sculpt
