You are focusing on cardio to lose your weight? How tall are you btw?

i was told that what i used to do previously not only burnt fat, it also burnt muscle too! with this new routine, it's supposed to burn fat without burning too much muscle.......is this true?

Too much (or frequent) of cardio or restricting ourselves to Low Weight High Reps (LWHR) will definately NOT helping out in building muscle mass. You can try lower your reps to 8 - 12 and perform heavier weights.
