In response to JLCORBIN, I have a degreee in Exercise Science and actually it is more beneficial to do strength training before cardio to get the ultimate calorie torching. But the best advice is to do it in whichever order you will do both. If you hate strength training but love cardio, start with strength and get it out of the way and vice versa. Good Luck everyone!!!

I've lost 50 lbs and all I do is 20 min of treadmill 4 times a week. I only allow one meal with carbs the rest is a lot of green veggies and lean meat/chicken or fish. And I lift weights once to twice a week. it doesn't take a lot of time but my lifestyle is healthier and much more satisfying.

I'll be honest, my workouts are a minimum of 45-90 minutes (depending on the day's routines). Tip: I work a 3-day split routine with weights. Between each set, instead of resting, I incorporate ab routines (such as these or others). After the ab routine (anywhere from 8-15 reps) I go back to my next set. This helps keep my heart rate up, and burn body fat over the course of the next 24 hours. Cardio days are 20-45 minutes on my off days (no strength training days); walking, jogging, inline skating, jump rope, trampoline, etc. With this and watching my meals (plenty of nutrients - calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, potassium, carbs-starchy, fiber, & sugar, protein, etc) I see and feel results! Keep optimistic and focused. You'll see results!

I do 30 minutes of running, 2.5 incline to start a 6.3 speed. I burn the least 400 cals each run. I then go into the weights and work on my push-ups, arms, and more for about 20 minutes. I then finish my workout with ab exercises so my workouts are about 1 hr 20 minutes to 30 minutes. It is always best to do your cardio first before weights and abs, set your heart rate at the perfect energy level and gives you the energy you will need for the rest of your workout. Don't substitute, just apply some of these, or all, to your workout each week and change after about 4-6 weeks of doing it. Your body will get used to the workouts by then, once you change it you will target different muscles and loose more! Good luck!
