So I have about 36lbs to lose - I am starting a weight loss program - I currently go gym but I want to maximise my work out!!
I only have 1 hour 4 times per week - should I focus on cardio for the full hour or should I do cardio for just 30/40 mins then weights for the other 20???
Or should I weight until I have lost the weight to focus on weights??? My weight training goal is to just tone up!!!
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!!

Interval training is great. If you want a good goal, do the couch to 5 k running program. Over 9 weeks you will build from a 30 second run to a 30 minute run. The whole program is based on interval training. Alternating running and walking, and slowly building up your runs. It is also a very good workout, takes only 30 minutes each day. And at the end of the 9 weeks you can actually run 5 km!
This will also leave you 30 minutes of weights, remember to do small and big muscles together. ie. Squats and shoulder raises, or lunges and biceps. If you only do small muscles ie. bicep curl, you stop burning calories.
