How much cardio should I do to lose the weight and what kind of weights and exercises should I do to benefit my legs. I tried to click on certain programs on my fitness plan, but it would only let me choose one. Any advice would help. Thanks!

If you work out your legs, you will eventually start putting on weight which will be confusing on they scale becuase you may gain or stay at the same weight. I guess what Im saying is, watch your diet-eat clean, try for at least 30 continuous minutes every other day in addition to weight training. I would say start out with about3 sets of 8-12 reps on the squat then same for leg press..then id go bout 2 sets of 15-20 reps on leg extensions and curls that is if your a beginner. If you do not feel much post workout muscle wise, use what I call lifting common sense and go harder and heavier the next time. Adding and taking away exercises as you see fit. I hope some of this helps. -------------- http://becomehealthaware.tripod.com
