Well I, have had a lot of success without working out but now I want to help myself starting toning up and gaining some more muscle. I don't feel as strong as I used to and I have been out of the gym for way to long. All my workouts will consist of mild strength training and cardio. I only plan to work out for 30 minutes about 3 days a week. I'm just looking to improve my health and reach my goal weight. Is there anyone else that works out 3 days a week for 30 minutes,any negatives or positives by doing so ? Please share.

Thank you, I need all the encouragement I can get this was a bad week for me.

First step is signing up.

Make sure to focus on lifting to preserve lean body mass over cardio.

30 minutes 3 times per week is a huge improvement compared to not working out. I would suggest that if you are going to do 30 minutes that you spend 10 minutes on cardio as a warmup, then do 20 minutes of weight lifting.

So how's it going?
