Cool

I am a CPT bro.
The American Council on Exercise Manual (which was put together by the top people in the fitness industry (ieDoctors,sports trainers and the like)
reccommends that one work cardio daily to try to get your Heart Rate working at a target rate for your age for a set time. This will have optimum benefits. Running is good for that, but there are other methods too.
Strength Training -Muscle groups when weight training on the other hand should not be worked daily because they need time to recover. It is best to work differnt body areas such as chest one day legs another day and wait approx 3 days before working that group again.
It depends on what you are attempting to acheive also- Your post implies that weight is a problem. In addition to a daily cardio program to burn off fat, one MUST have a proper diet- See a clinical dietician that understands your goal and they will hook you up with a legit nutritional plan to speed up your weight loss without compromising health.
Hope this helps peace Out
