How long should i walk/run on treadmill and how often i should lift weights?
Hey, I’ve Got a Question:
I weigh 190 and i wanna lose 30 pounds in like 5 months or less, and also gain muscle at the sametime. Right now i only have a treadmill, 2 20 pound dumbells, a barbell and resistance tube. I am also dieting and eating healthy. I just need help on the timings and i get mixed up everyday. also i want to lose love handles, is there any exercise to do this?

Unfortunately, you can’t do isolation exercises for losing love handles. Isolation only works for tightening/toning muscle, not losing fat. Your body decides where the fat will be lost.
The walking is good. I walked 1-2 miles every day and lost 30 pounds in about 3-4 months, but I also stopped eating junk. I was a horrible night time snacker in front of the TV. Eat lots of nutritious fruits, vegetables, nuts and lean protein.
You can get free workouts for resistance bands here.
i would use the treadmil 6 days a week. time doesnt neccesarily matter for workout time what does is how intense the workout is. i would do intervals which means switch off and on between slow jogging or walking and running which helps burn fat. i would use weights 4-6 days a week as muscle helps burn fat even when not working out.
Run/Walk on your treadmill for 30 minutes 3-4 times per week. It doesn’t sound like you have much for weights. Don’t worry about that. Aerobic exercise helps you lose weight much better than lifting. Increase the amount of running each week on the treadmill. Keep the total workout for 30 minutes. Just keep on adding more running into the run-walk workout.
Good Luck
