To embark on a weight loss journey aiming to lose 25+ lbs in a year, consistency is key. Start by integrating 10,000 steps into your daily routine; this not only promotes calorie burn but also enhances cardiovascular health. Incorporating cardio exercises such as running, biking, or stair climbing into your weekly workout plan can significantly boost your metabolism, making weight loss more achievable. Additionally, adopting a high-protein diet is essential for maintaining muscle while losing fat. Focus on intentional healthy choices, tracking your macros can help you stay on path too. Incorporate strength training in your weekly exercise routine, aiming for 1-4 days of lifting. This will support muscle retention and overall joint health, essential for long-term weight management. Remember, gradual changes lead to sustainable results.

When you say add cardio to your gym split how much cardio are you doing per week and what order do you do everything in? Walk, weights, run?
