To lose 25 pounds in two months, you can follow this loose weekly schedule. Try and get 300 minutes of cardio in per week, as well as at least two strength-training sessions, working as many parts of the body as possible. You can also add in a high-intensity interval training session to maximize weight loss; this is a shorter cardio session where you mix very intense cardio, such as sprinting, with short bursts of more moderate cardio activity, such as jogging or walking briskly. Some great cardio options include running, riding a bike, swimming, taking an aerobics class, or using a cardio machine such as an exercise bike, elliptical machine, treadmill, or stair-stepper. For your strength-training workouts, remember not to work the same muscle group two days in a row; instead, focus on different muscle groups for each strength-training session. You can use weight machines if you have a gym membership; otherwise you can purchase some dumbbells or a barbell and weights and do your own strength training at home.
