I need to lose a LOT of weight and so need help with my exercise plan.
I wanted to know whether to begin with, i should just focus on cardio untill i get my weight down and then start weights in order to tone and make the weight loss faster.
If not, when should i incorporate the weight training? I heard it's best to do cardio 5 x a week and resistance 3 x a week. But does that mean some have to be done on the same day? Also, for each resistance day, would i work on a full body workout or focus on a body part? Should i also mix up the week with high and low intensity interval training?
And, i don't have access to a gym, so what sort of resistance exercises can i do that are effective? I have an extension cord and some dumbells, but that's it. Do push ups and crunches count?
THANKS!
