Hello, I'm starting my fitness and dieting once again. I was doing 3 sets of 40 situps, 3 sets of 40 squats, 3 sets of 50 bicycle kicks. I go was doing to much. What the most effective cardio and exercises to lose that 1-2 lbs a week. I don't membership to gyms. I'd rather do fitness from home, I have no equipment. May someone give me advice.

    You could try 30 day shred from Jillian Michaels to start you out.

    Run outside, burpees, jumping jacks, anything that involves jumping, running in place, running up and down stairs, there are tooonnnnnsss of things you can go... But a gym is better :p Its way more fun and motivating.

    i love jillian michaels DVDs, she mixes cardio and strength and gets good results, and all you need is a couple dumbells or a kettle bell depending on the dvd

    YouTube videos. Jillian's 30 day shred is on there. Dr. Oz has a 15 minute workout by Shaun t on his site. Just a couple of easy to find options.

    If you have a backpack and a bunch of books, you can fill it, put it on backwards so that the front sits against your chest, and do squats. This will increase the resistance and help you develop more lean body mass.

    Running is great exercise, but you won't need to run twice a day.
