| I wanna lose weight and not pay for a gym membership. Ive been doing hip hop abs(cardio) this month, the 2nd mo i wanna do a weight resistance routine i had when i used to go the gym, but for the 3rd month could i go back to hip hop abs (cardio) and still achieve weight loss or will my body be so used to this program since i did it the 1st month and not lose weight? |

| I think your plan is fine or you could alternate between the two programs and get twice the benefits, but whatever works for you. |

| Nope can't do it like that..you should be doing 45 minutes of cardio at least 5 days a week and weights 4 days a week. If you do it your way by the time you go back to cardio again you will have lost the endurance you gained in that month. You have to alternate daily. |

| You can do whatever you want to do but results have shown that a routine that mixes cardio and weight resistance in the same workout are the most successful. About every 6 weeks or so you should change the type of workout that you're doing and the amount of time. You don't necessarily have to increase the time or intensity of the workout, just change it. Say you've been doing 30 min of hip hop abs and 30 min of weights, change to doing 15 min of taibo, 15 min of weights, 15 min of taibo and finish with 15 min of weights. It's essentially the same workout but you've completely changed what your body is used to. I only used taibo as an example, it could be any cardio workout. |
