Question: Am I exercising right!?
Ok!.!.!.!. Here is what I do!. Typically I try to get 4 days of weight training in and 5 days of cardio in per week!. My weight lifting i dont need help with because i consider myself to be a good lifter!. Now the cardio part i'm fairly new to because i gained a lot of weight the last 2 years!. Well now I do this, a typical cardio day i do about 30-45 minutes of an eliptical trainer, then run either a mile or for 15-20 minutes!. and to make up for any lost time i will do a stationary bike for the remainder of whats left of an hour!. I get at LEAST an hour of some sort of cardio every day!. Lately i've been swamped and stressed so I havent been getting in 5 days, but typically i get at least 3 typically 4 days a week!. Is what i'm doing good for me!? Also i'm considered Obese!.!.!. I weigh 304 pounds!. I've lost a total of about 30 pounds!.!.!. I have only been losing about 1-2 pounds a week!.

WOW!!!!! For a 300 pounder I think you're doing spectacular!!! Keep up the good work!!!!
Here are some tips that I pass along to anyone working on weight loss, but I don't think you really need these!.!.!.you're really doing great!!:
It's really very simple!.
There are 2 categories of workouts and you only need to focus on one of those for weight loss!.
1!. Resistance training - weight lifting, sit-ups, push-ups, etc!.
2!. Cardiovascular Training - walking/running, swimming, jumping jacks, dancing to the oldies, etc!.
You need only to focus on #2 for weight loss!. #1 is good for muscle tone but does little for weight loss!.
Cardiovascular exercises are simple and you don't need any fancy equipment!. For successful weight loss, all you need to do is any body movements that get your heart rate higher than normal!. That's what cardiovascular workouts are all about!. They simply get your heart rate up and burn off fat!.
You will need to keep your heart rate up for longer than 20 minutes per session in order to achieve a successful burn!. The body takes that much time to warm up and begin the burn!. Any huffy-puffy activity will work such as walking, running, going up and down stairs, vigorous dancing, jumping rope, just anything that makes you huff and puff!. That's the key - huff and puff for over 20 minutes a session!. This is how your body burns off fat!.
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR FOR ADVICE ON THE SAFEST WORKOUT FOR YOU!.
Don't get discouraged!
Contrary to popular TV, there is no such thing as "targeting" an area of your body for weight loss!. The reality is that you will see the fattest part of your body lose weight last! You will notice it first in your face!. The thickest fat is the last to go so don't lose heart if you don't see your
