I got an elliptical and I've been adding a minute every time I do it. I'm up to 10 minutes right now.

So should i be working out every day and add a minute every day i work out?
Should I work out every day and add a minute every other day?
Or just keep it the same?

I'm new to working out. I use to weigh 114 pounds and never worked, but I always looked pregnant in the belly. I always thought it was my weight. Now i know I need to do Cardio to get rid of it. That's what I'm trying to do.

Stories and tips is always appreciated.

~Hope everyone had a wonderful Mothers Day!!! ~

    Keep progressing as rapidly as you can. Remember that progress happens when you are uncomfortable, not when you are in your comfort zone.

    But you should probably take a day or two of rest once a week.

    I will also mention that many women have discovered that pure aerobics leaves them looking skinny-fat and that resistance training gives them the look they really want. For example: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1222939-look-what-3-years-of-lifting-can-do
