I'm going to have about 1hr 30 mins 5 days a week set aside for cardio.
I'm thinking:
20 Mins Jogging
20 Mins Cross Trainer or Similar
20 Mins Rowing
30 Mins Swimming or perhaps 20 mins swimming and 10 mins doing something else.
Would this be adequate, or would it be better to split some other way?
Sole aim is fat loss.
This will be working with a 3 day weight split on the nights too.
Cheers

i've also just read that swimming isnt exactly a good method of fat loss, and with that in mind, I may cut that down to 10 mins or so and have another 20 mins on something else?

if you do a search for swimming and fatloss /cardio etc there are a few different posts, the majority say its not as good as running, or you have to do LOADS of it, ie stupid amounts of hours for it to be any benefit

This is incorrect. Swimming at a comfortable pace burns a lot of calories, the difference between swimming and running at the same pace is very small.

Also, anyone got any further recommendations to what i originally posted, interested in as many theories as possible.
Thanks

Hi mate "SS" is steady state cardio, usually the pace you want to be aiming for is when holding a conversation is possible but slightly labored.
