90-120 minutes of cardio a week should do the trick (I do 30 mins. at a time). Cardio and weights together burns fat better than anything else I've ever tried and I've tried pretty much everything. I've tried lifting weights with no cardio I got results but they weren't great. When I added cardio to the mix I lost ALOT of fat. I had a 4 pack going on for a while.Cardio burns fat better than anything else. Everything else is pretty much for toning or growing muscles (not that it doesn't burn any fat just not as much). EATING HEALTHY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. And oh yeah just a tip don't work out abs until you are down to about a 1/4 in. of fat on your stomach because all your doing is building muscle under your fat and making yourself look bigger.0
