Alternate your cardio. Try to pick three different types and rotate them every few weeks. Or conversely, increase the difficulty in an organized way every week.

Upper body one day lower body another day is good. Try almost no rest between sets. Like ten seconds. It will keep your intensity higher.

Get your trainer to write you up three different work outs and rotate them every three weeks. That will give you a serious edge.

I've just started going to the gym recently to tone up and lose weight. I've been doing about 30 mins of cardio and then lifting, alternating legs and arms/chest every other day. I use the nautilus machines most of the time...how many reps and sets should I be doing?

Right now I do 3 sets of 10 reps on each of the machines I use, and then if I don't feel like going home I'll do 2 or 3 more sets. Is this cool or should I be doing more reps or what?
