Strength Training and Cardio for Weight Loss

I am finding that I lift 3 days a week and then do 2 Zumba classes a week works pretty well. When I first started lifting it took a month or so for me to figure out my eating levels I was hungrier and have cardio b/c I was tired with lifting. I started Charlene Extreme in Jan and made it about 5 weeks before I took a break because of this. I started back up in March and can now do lifting and some cardio. I think it depends on the person and an adjustment period. Or at least this was my experience. I am also still really new to this and still finding my way around what works. It was this second time around that I started losing some on the scale. I did get my mindset around that fact that the scale is not the only factor; take measurements and pictures.
and listen to your body, if you need a rest day TAKE IT.

If you have a lot to lose I think low intensity exercise is a great way to start; ie. walking everyday as far as you can comfortably go, then just keep adding time and distance. I had a personal trainer tell me that there isn't much difference between two and three days a week and tht two days a week will get you there. I think your hunger can stay steadier if you start aerobic first and then add strenth training; just my opinion. But good luck, and if you cannot face doing something each day just do a little tiny bit for your own self esteem and to keep in the habit of exercise and calorie counting.
Also for strength training, it will take probably 6 months to see muscle definition from when you begin so dont worry about what you do, just do something and realize it will take time to get there, but definitely possible. Strength training makes your body look so much better when you are losing weight, that it will make you look like you have lost more weight than you actually have. haha

Strength training! I don't care for cardio much - never have and never will - so the majority of my exercise is strength-based. I go 3 times a week these days, but was able to do just fine with 2 days before. Incidentally, if you do the strength training while you're still working toward your weight loss goal, you'll be even stronger than if you'd waited to do the exercises until you were at your goal. Look at doing bodyweight exercises, like squats and pushups and the like. You don't need to shell out for a gym membership unless you want to; there is a LOT you can do at home without buying equipment.

Ultimately, any kind of exercise is GOOD; the important thing is to find something you enjoy and do that.
