It depends on what your goal physique is. Weight is not important... it is your body's composition that is key. Your body can fluctuate up to 5 pounds in a single day, simply based on your water intake. What matters is your muscle mass - which weighs 3 times your fat mass.
Maintaining a balance requires both cardio and weight training. Keep in mind that lengthy cardio burns muscle mass - that's why runner's are most often very lean. If you do too much cardio and not enough weight training once you are at your goal, you will slowly see your body change and become leaner.
My advice: lift moderate weights and do no more than 20 minutes of cardio. Strengthening classes such as yoga and pilates are also good because they further tone what you already have.
Good luck!

maintenance should be a balance, with fun activities mixed in, but be careful of the goal "weight".....goal fitness levels or body fat % would be better.....in the winter months i lift more and weigh a little more, in the summer i weigh less because of more distance running and racing, less strength training.....my higher or lower body weight has nothing to do with the shape i'm in, winter or summer, it simply adjusts with the demands i'm placing on my body while maintaining good fitness levels year-round

the following is a positive-fireplace thanks to shed pounds (and that i understand!) You were doing it accurate earlier - extra cardio, a lot less weights. attempt to do cardio for quarter-hour, then 10-15 of weights, 15 extra cardio, 10-15 extra of weights, and then end it off with yet another 15 of cardio. blending it up is the finest fat loss burner. good success!

No matter what you do, your body will become used to the type of exercise you are doing, so cross-training is the best way to go.

depends on what more you want, to run alot of miles or lift more weight. I usually change it up depending on what sport I am training for.
