At least 4 times a week I do 45 minutes of cardio when I'm done with the cardio (running/jogging/speed walking) then I do 10 push ups, scissor kicks for a count of 20, 20 crunches, then 10 squats and I repeat these exercises 5 times. I also limit my daily calorie intake. Is this a solid exercise to lose some unwanted pounds? If not could you please tell me what more I can add? Thank you very much.

it depends on what you're eating. don't eat late at night. exercise after meals. and what are you doing those other 3 days? hopefully at least some walking.

    Well, sure you will lose weight over time. I don't know your body size and actual caloric intake, so it will be hard to say how long it will take you to lose the weight. A couple of thoughts to help, think about doing weight lifting, gradually increase your cardio (from 45 to 60 minutes) and exercises, try and do cardio in the morning after you wake up, drink lots of water, and lay off the carbs after 6 PM. Good luck.

    It sounds like you're getting enough exercise, so you might want to have a look at your diet.

    Make sure that you drink plenty of water and cut junk foods like chips, McD's, soda pop and sugary snacks. Replace them with healthy foods like fruits and veggies.

    If you want to shock your system a little bit, you could switch up your cardio and swim or bike instead of running.

    I hope that this helps!
