	2005/02/09, 04:48 PM Your priority based on these goals is cardio... I suggest cardio 3 times a week for 30-60 min at 70% target heart rate (220-age)*0.70=target heart rate This is the zone where you burn most fat for fuel...the longer you go the more fat your body will utilize, it will mostly kick in after 15-20 min mark....Also warm up to this intensity don't just start running... You can do 3 set of 10 reps of flyes with the dumbells...DBs facing each other, like you're hugging a tree...this is different from DB presses...pick a weight whcih you can do only 9-10 reps...if you can do more increase weight... as soon as you finish one set of flyes get down and do a set of push ups of as many as you can...then rest for 1-2min and repeat again this cycle 2 more times -Do crunches 3 sets of as many as you can, rest 60 sec -DO leg raises off the floor 3 sets as many as you cna 60 sec rest, butt comes off the floor on each rep...keep legs as straight as possible for maximal intesity -do russian twists to hit obliques, 3 sets, also as many as you can , 60 sec rest.... if you get winded take 5 min of extra rest between ab exercises

I recommend you alter your diet and cut out anything with sugar or high carbs in it, including juice, bread etc. High protein will work for you. If you wanna eat fruit or oatmeal make sure it's in the first half of the day. Make low fat choices when possible too, such as skim milk. Good luck.
