    For me cardio has worked awesomely. I joined the YMCA and never looked back. Arc trainer, treadmill, recumbant bike, etc. mix it up! I usually try for 30-45 minutes each session. Weight training is great, too. Meet with a trainer and he/she will help you set yourself up and get acquainted with everything so you don't hurt yourself. Good luck!
