Sorry for the stupid topic name, lol. I had been doing a body building excersize routine and i realized that i wanna LOSE weight not gain muscle yet (i dunno what i was thinking) lol:embarassed:

In Your opinion what would be the BEST combo for Cardio to LOSE WEIGHT and see results "quicker".

i put QUICKER in quotes bc i know there is no quick fix, but i want to go PURE cardio to lose 70 pounds total but maybe 40 pounds in 4 months before my wedding.

Let me know your routines/ opinions about what cardio machines, cardio classes, and cardio anything that go you to lose your weight! thanks in advance :flowerforyou: :wink: :heart: :smooched: :drinker:

    I've had the most success (biggest calorie burns) with running, Zumba and the stairmaster.
  • ive lost 48 pounds in a year with a mix of weight training and cardio, rougthly half hour of each to start but i now find i do an hour on the weights and build cardio into my day to day life like biking to work/gym etc.

    Not to burst your bubble but switching from all weight training to all cardio may not be a cure all to losing weight faster. For some people wieght training works better than cardio.

    A blend of the two would be better. You may have to play around a bit & see what works.
