Right gotcha.

You want low-intensity cardio for fat burning, and targetted weights.

Your weights want to be lightish with logs sets of reps.

For muscle building I advise 2 or 3 sets of 8 reps. If you can't do 2 full sets of 8 reps the weight is too heavy, and if you can do a set of 16 reps the weight is too light.

But that's for muscle building - for getting rid of the flab in a targetted fashion you want to reduce that weight, and do reps of 16. And do maybe 3-4 sets, not 2-3.
