Questions on Exercise Program

Hi guys, I have just started a new exercise program and was wondering how much cardio and resistance is sufficent enough...

I have been doing 30 min aerobics everyday with an additional bellydance or carmen electra workout with alternating dates of target body areas. (M, W,F legs and buns) and (Su,S,T,TH abs and legs) . Also I have been doing yoga or pilates 4 times a week.

My target goal is to lose 3 more inches on my stomach and it seems impossible. I am 5'6 and 123 lbs, and my waist is 27".

Is my exercise program okay or do I need to add more cardio or resistance workout? Any advice would be so grately appreciated!

Nobody can tell you if you are doing enough or not. You'll have to find this all out for yourself by doing some trial and error work. Everybody's metabolism, fitness level and goals are different, so what may be enough for you, may not be enough for someone else, and vice versa.

Do what you're doing for a few weeks, and if you are not losing an average of 1-2 pounds per week, then you'll have to make some more adjustments...such as increase your cardio output, up the intensity of your resistance exercise, or gradually lower your daily calorie intake in order to get the fat loss ball rolling.

So make sure you log your workouts, calories consumed, and calories burned so that you can reference them along the way and use them to make adjustments as needed.
