30 Days of My Experiment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It was challenging to do cardio for one hour almost every day for a month, but it helped me enhance my endurance and get me lean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I lost around 2.5 kilograms with little or no changes in my diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the lack of resistance training, I also lost a bit of my muscle mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I recommend that you do cardio in the morning and resistance training twice a week in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resistance training will prevent muscle loss while helping you stay strong and aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides working out, you should also focus on your diet if you want to lose weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The following resources might help:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
