Question

Ideally you would work on toning up at the same time as losing weight. Cardio is important for weight loss but so is resistance training. When you do resistance exercises you are also burning calories as well as increasing your metabolism. As a side note, muscle 'looks' better than fat, when toning up you will appreciate the benefits just as you would with losing a couple of pounds. Aim to workout 3-5 days a week and incorporate both cardio and resistance (weights, bands, or using your body as resistance).
