Hi! I'm currently 125-135? pounds and without much muscle tone except for my legs. I want to get rid of fat and reach my goal of 115 pounds, and then reach for 111 pounds. I have experience working out, but was out of the game for a while. I'm 5'5 and also vegan. If I run/go on elliptical for 20-40 minutes in the morning before breakfast, maintain a 1000 calorie high protein diet, and do weight training/aerobic activity for 40 mins in the evenings with lots of deep stretching afterwards, how long will it take to lose 20 pounds? I really appreciate your advice and welcome any reccomendations. The areas I'd like to focus on would be my hips, abdomen and butt. I love dancing for cardio, and my weight training is done w/3 pound weights, calisthenics such as pushups, situps, exercise ball moves, the plank, saxon side bend, and a mix of other midsection-focused exercises. Is it better to run in intervals for long periods of time or faster intervals in less time? thank you!
