2 quick and easy questions

Well was jsut curious on two things.

1. Is 20-30 mins cardio everyday enough?Just looking to lean out some, not a quick fat loss program. Mainly if its 20 mins, its on the treadmill. At a pace of 3.8-4.1, and raising the incline 3% every 2 mins.This treadmill goes up to 30%, (my knees are actually touching the heart rate grips). If its more the 20 mins, i switch it up, maybe 15 mins on stepper (fat loss option) the go to the treadmill or switch to a bike.

2. I know everything about muscle confusion and keeping up with new workouts and switching your routine. But have never seen anyone try this, so was wondering if its not a good idea. Basically im running one body part a day. So why couldnt i on week 1 of chest do high reps, low weight. Then for week two of chest run low reps high weight? It would always keep your muscles guessing wouldnt it? i would do this for every body part.

Thanks guys for the help.

2. that is actually a pretty common strategy. You can go with that, many do
