I'm nearly 5'4'' weight 12st and i need to lose 2 stone at least.
I like the gym and have just started warming up by walking 10 mins to the gym; then work out for 15 mins on the rower followed by 20 reps of the (not v heavy) heaviest weights i can manage on each of the weights machines.
Then 5 mins on the cross-trainer and 5 mins on the sitting bike, followed by 10min walk home and some stretches.
At the end of this i'm very shaky and dizzy because i'm not used to exercise.
I like it though and heard that a mix of weights and some cardio is best for weightloss.
Is this true and is eg 4 times a week enough? I work 2 days a week on my feet all day walking around the ward.
I eat 1500 cals a day inc lots of fruit and veg, no alcohol.
Opinions please!
