I lifted three times a week for an hour... alternating between upper and lower body. I made sure I kept my heart rate up by running a lap around the gym between sets.
Cardiovascular:
I did cardio every day for an hour and when I could I would come back in the evening and do more cardio. I would run stairs take a spinning class... and VERY important, I stopped eating late at night!
