How much strength training a week in order to get cut? I want to get cut by the end of October. Right now I am skinny fat and it should be just as easy as losing 20 pounds because I can lose 20 pounds doing cardio alone and get cut. Also please correct me if Im wrong does it take more time to lose fat than losing weight?

    Start with 2 sessions of 30 mins a week on a weight that tires you after 10 reps and build it up gradually. Too much too soon will injure you.

    And have some patience. 7 mins is not enough time to be bumping your own thread. You'll need that patience for lifting weights as well.

    Look at stronglifts 5x5. It takes about an hour to do a full body workout. My wife and I started this and are in our 5th week. We have seen many gains since starting. Also check out the forum Eat, Train and Progress. It has quite a bit of info and Sara and Sidesteel know their stuff.
    Great program for a beginner!
    Good luck!
