    At the moment I go twice a week for an hour and a half, I do both cardio and strength training, but have been stuck at the same level for a couple of months.
    I think the best thing to do is up the amount of days and keep an eye on the deficit. :#

    Gym surely helps in looking better, if that's something you are interested in. I hit it Mon-Friday. Heavy weights, less heavy weights, battle rope, skipping rope, planks, all of that too

    Same level of what stuck at?

    Amount of weight lifted?

    Are you doing the cardio first?
    If so how much and how intensive?

    How much lifting are you attempting to get in that time - too many lifts or reps isn't the method to increase strength. Hence the recommendation to follow a program, even a full-body program intended for 3 x weekly can have benefits at 2 x weekly.
    But not if you knock yourself out with hard cardio first.
