Is this enough cardio??

[Kalos]

I am currently at 200 pounds and at 12% bf. I want to drop to 9% or less and I know cardio and diet is the most important. Is 20 minutes of cardio after a workout enough 4 times a week? I do weights 4 days plus 20 minutes cardio afterwards. I train on Mon,Tues, Thurs, Friday and I also go on Sunday morning just for a 40 minute cardio session. So that is a total of 2 hours of cardio along with my weights. Wednesday and Saturday I rest. I am also cycling Clen, Hydoxycut and ALA. Thanks guys!

You could do all that and not lose any weight if you eat too much. The basic formula for weight loss = burn more calories than your eat. This formula will never be wrong. Do that and you will lose weight.

Also try doing cardio first, after you get use to it, you will get a better workout/pump, great warm up.

I think that is a good amount of cardio. For me, that would be enough, although I prefer to go for 30 min sessions each time and just skip the 40 min session. I also never do cardio post-weights, because it only compromises my recovery and muscle retention. Try doing it in the morning. Just tell yourself it's only 20 minutes. You shouldn't need more than 5 cardio sessions per week. Any more is will just eat your muscle like PacMan.
