cardio 30-45 min a day 5-6 days a week

you could pretty much do any workout you wanted i guess... just make sure your diet is good and hit some cardio and you should be on your way. start out with some basic compound movements (squats, deadlifts, bench press, power cleans, etc) and add a few more exercises and voila... you have a workout plan. good luck bro and hang in here

id say do more cardio like an hour. And id say cut down on your calorie intake and boost up your protein intake a bit

Eat 6-7 meals a day..cut the calories like animal said and up the protein. Cardio at 55-65% maximum heart rate for 45 minutes to an hour. And maybe get some ephedra products to take, since theyre banning them

i don't think adding ephedra at this point is a good idea, at 355, i'm assuming that diet and cardio were non existent before, and should lose a sh*t load of weight without any thermogenic for a long time before he plateus, remember Hoss, drugs are bad, mmkay?

I absolutely agree with scott. At this point, I wouldn't suggest ECA. At such a high weight (and from what I can tell from your post, it's fat weight), his heart is under enough stress. I would imagine you already have a high blood pressure. All of that would suggest to me that you're not a good candidate to use ECA...yet. Work on your diet, continue to lift and do cardio. You'll drop some pounds naturally and once you've come down, you can use the ECA judiciously to finish off your weight loss.

no ephedra products just regular old diet bump to youll who mentioned that

I agree, ECA has helped me lose weight, but before I touched the stuff I had re-strenghtened my heart a bit with a few weeks of daily cardio.

ECA can be a little rough on your heart when you're outta shape and new to it.

I agree with a high protein diet and 45-60 mins of cardio 5-6 days a week and weight train 4 days a week. Don't overtrain and don't starve yourself! Those are very common mistakes.
