    Hey guys just wondering, is 20 minutes of cardio exercise enough to loose weight?

    It seems lately that I am extremely exhausted when I try to work out. I'm not sure why, but it's killing me. (Not enough sleep, too much work, not eating right who knows?) Lately 20 mins is all I have been able to do before I start to feel tired and get the shakes. So do you think bumping down to 20 mins a day will still continue to help me loose weight?

    Thank in advance for any advice.

    This sounds like you are not adequately fuelling your workout

    How many calories are you eating and are you eating back your exercise calories and if so what proportion?

    Depends on intensity 20 minutes can be plenty. The important thing is you push yourself. If you keep testing your limits pretty soon you will exceed them.
