As we seem to have an influx of PT's in here I thought I'd ask for some advice.
I have joined the gym at work and my friend and I are planning on going at lunchtime for half an hour (I'll go for longer after work too some nights).
It's a fairly basic gym with weight machines, treadmills, bikes etc. I need to effective 30 min exercise routine ideas to maximise weight loss and fitness. I guess cardio might not be effective over such a short time frame. |

I'll start by saying I'm not a PT, there is a theory that pushing yourself as hard as you can for a few minutes is more beneficial than thirty minutes at slower pace. On an exercise bike for example. |

Yes 30min cardio and 30min weight session is a good start aday to do, mind you diet plays a bigger part, so as womens baseline carlies for maintenance is 200 you as a woman need to eat about 1300kcal, 700 kcal under maintenance, mostly protein and vegetables but with some carbs around 100g a day or so x. |

A couple of suggestions :
1. Mix your daily sessions up, say Mon-Weds-Fri high intesnity cardio, Tues-Thus free weights lightish weights high reps. Or
2. Speak to one of the trainers/staff and plan a 30 minute program of mixed exercises taking in 15 or so elements of 1 to 3 mins each with little if any rest between each one. |

I used to do a HIIT Podcast from Prevention on a cross trainer.
Nothing stopping you alternating cardio with weights either. When I went to the gym on my lunch break it was cardio Mon, Wed, Fri, and weights Tues & Thurs. |

A 30 minute circuit with free weights.
Incorporate squats, deadlifts, shoulder press, bench press.
Compound exercises with minimal rest at about 50% of max weight.

I find that a short burst of cardio to get your heart rate up followed by free weights eg squats, bicep curls, rows, is getting the best results for me. Make sure you get a good stretch in before you lift any weight though. Xx |
