Be careful that you do not overtrain Greeklettergirl.
Our body actually forms muscle after our workouts, not during them. When you work out before your body is fully recovered you can sabotage it's muscle-building and basically make it that much harder for yourself to get fit.
If you want to lose weight, my trainer has suggested to me that cardio approximately 4-5 times per week is what you need to do. Muscle training depends on how you do it. You should never train the same body part two days in a row, always allow 48 hours for rest. Some trainers say that the abdominal muscles are different and can be trained every day but now many are giving conflicting that info so I don't know.
