Circuit Training is the Best because you are getting cardio and strength training at the same time. You will find your heart rate stays in a fat burning zone. Example: 45 sec. Of squats, followed by 60 sec. Of step ups

fitness-advice Fitness Question #4 - How much weight (pounds) should I focus on losing every week? What is a safe amount to make sure I keep it off?

I usually don't step on scales and focus on weight but if you do a safe and healthy amount is 2-3 lbs a week. I go by how I look in the mirror and how my clothes fit. Also, have found that when you "let-go" of the pressure and stress of losing weight, then you lose weight faster.

The most important thing to implement into your good nutritional eating plan is a "cheat" meal or "cheat" day! On this day, you allow yourself to eat anything and everything you want. This will help you to stay strict during the week. Also, remember if you slip and eat something bad, DON'T beat yourself up -- just move on and get back on your plan.
