Im trying to lose this weight quick and am doing 30 mins of cardio everyday and ab workout everyday. Might be a dumb question but im just curious

Try doing some intervals. I wouldn't do the ab work Every day. Work it every 2nd day so the muscles rest. Eating well plays a big part. Look in the diet are of the site to see some great eating ideas that work. Good luck -------------- To change it, or to create it, simply train it! Ivan

Cardio will just burn a little extra calories but muscles will make you stay slim! Doing abs three times weekly is enough. Your muscles will come but if you want to show them well then it's all a question about DIET. Good luck! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
