    weight training and cardio.. i lose the most with cardio but realistically the weight training is what will make you maintain it in the long run so do one one day and the other the next....

    i get crazy with mine when i have the time and do them both the same day so i dont feel to bad on my days off

    I do a mix of Cardio and Strength, I work with a trainer and change my routines up often. At least one of my cardio days I do interval training and I'm in the gym 4-6 days a week, depending on my schedule, anywhere from 30mins to an hour at a time.

    I lost my first 20 lbs pretty easily and quickly with cardio and modifying my eating habits. Following a plateau of about a month I started an adult boot camp that is heavy strength training combined with interval training (combination of sprints and walking). The workouts are 4 days per week. On the off days I will do interval training and ab workouts. At the most recent testing day my body fat % dropped almost 3% with a corresponding 6 pound weight loss. I am less concerned with my weight loss goal because my strength has increased, my muscle definition is vey noticeable and I have obviously lost inches because I've had to have all of my suits and dress pants altered. I guess what I am saying I like my progress even though the weight loss is much slower than before.
