How much cardio should you do per week to lose body fat?
How many sessions per week & how long should each cardio session be? Also if you eat moderately sensible is cardio enough to lose body fat? Or would you have to go extreme on dieting?
To help you answer, Im: 26ys old, F, 5′ , 119lbs and 23% bf – not too concerned with weight but would like body fat to be closer to 20%
THANKS!!
-Yogurt
-at least a fruit for breakfast and lunch
-at least a a handful of veggies for lunch and dinner
-a glass of 6-8 oz. worth of milk or some form oh diary
-fish, chicken
or if you would say you have a normal american diet eat what you want but instead of 3-2 meals shoot for 4-5. You get lunch for work, eat half of it then the rest on a break or 3 hours later and that goes for breakfast too spilt that in half. The more smaller meals the less your body will feel hungry. Dinner should look like 3/4′s your plate with 1/3 of that veggies. If you do this you’ll find that you’ll gradually eat less and feel just as full. =)
your 26 so stretch! For every 15 mins of cardio 5 mins of stretching
And cardio is pointless if you don’t run for at least 45 minutes. 20% bf? You can just walk everyday for 45 minutes and you’ll be there in no time. But jogging since you’re probably a working woman, 3 times a week should be easy for you and your schedule.
you are skinny but i’d do about 30 min to an hour with 1 rest day and lift weights too to build muscle. good luck but really you sound fine!

Do as much as you can fit in without getting too tired and losing motivation. Take a week and figure out your limits. Drink lots of water as well (150 oz if possible) to boost your metabolism. Good Luck!
