Is 30min cardio 5-7 x a week, strength training & yoga 2 x week enough to lose weight and tone muscle?

Question

I'm trying to start a good workout program that I can stick with. I have a jump rope, a bicycle, and cardio dance for cardio workouts that I was going to alternate throughout the week. Plus, I have those elastic bands (never used, granted) that I have a video for to do strength/resistance training, and I was planning to do yoga and/or pilates twice a week... and I really want to know if this is a great exercise program to help lose the weight and tone muscle. Thanks!

Answer 1

All that exercise sound great to keep you body healthy and you're muscles will definitely get more tone but the ONLY way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you take in. It's a pretty simple concept so keep up the workout and watch what you eat.
