Is my exercise routine enough to lose the weight I want to lose?

Question

I am 18 years old 5'6 and currently 179 pounds. Goal 143 pounds

I have just joined a gym and do 45 minutes on cross trainer at a even speed, 50 crunchs, 50 lunges, 40 leg presses and 20 push ups.

Is that a good routine? And how long will it take to lose the weight I want to as well as having a blanced diet.

what should I add or change?

thanks

It is a good routine.  How often do you plan on doing it?  And how long will you stay with it?

Answer 3

Id say you have a good routine

you could try adding a 30 minute brisk walk or 30 minutes on a treadmill

you dont want to overdo it

the time that it will take depends on you and your body

your not looking at a large amount of weight,so if you calculate it out and average a 6- 10 pound weight loss a month youll be doing good

there is no magic answer to fast weight loss or as to how long it will take

it all depends on you and your body

if you hit a plateau and stop loosing,which does happen, then just step up your workout a notch
