I'm going to let you in on something. You don't need to do that much cardio to lose weight.
I want you to read this article about strength training. You may not lose as much weight but you will burn fat. Muscle weighs more than fat but takes up less space (as mentioned in the article)
Please read it strength training is general better for staying him and for long term health

Two hours a day is excessive to be honest. For weight loss, 30-45 minutes per day at about 80% of ones maximum effort is sufficient.. This combined with some resistance training ( weights, machines, cables, med balls, etc, ) will help to increase metabolic rate which burns more fat as well.. The rest is basically all diet. If you're exercising regularly and the pounds aren't coming off, then I'd take a look at what you're eating.

Commenting on @BertMnacklinFBI 's opinion:

@Qoolipbite

This is why I'm so careful about personal trainers. They refuse to learn new things and if you give them the slightest bit of criticism they act like they need to deliberately "disprove" whatever you say regardless of the information itself. I worry for any clients she may have. The fact that she needed to block off @BertMacklinFBI is proof.

I'm just curious what everyone does. personally i need 2 hours 5 days a week to lose. but i eat chicken and veggies all day. different bodies i guess.

about 1.5 hours every other day or so, i weight train as well though.. rest is very important, i'd even say that no matter your fitness level you should have rest days- for individual body parts at least- to be training optimally, these could even be active rest days which are very low exertion

2 fucking hours of cardio a day? ill fucking kill myself. holy shit. d00d just do 25 minute sessions of HIIT instead. its a better fat burner than traditional cardio.

[Asker]

thats not enough for me...

[BertMacklinFBI]

you obviously don't know what high intensity interval training is then

[Asker]

ima personal trainer k thanks

[BertMacklinFBI]

and you choose to do 2 hours of cardio. my mind is blown.

[Asker]

and I'm also 112 pounds and 5 food 3 ... i do hiit for 30 mins in that 2 hours. for max fat loss and my body type i need more cardio... my mind is blown that you didn't know long cardio is for weight loss and hiit is for fat loss... there is a huge difference... slow twitch and fast twitch muscles...

[BertMacklinFBI]

fat loss is weight loss. weight loss is so fucking general holy shit. weight loss can literally be losing water weight, bone density, muscle mass. the reason HIIT is first choice is because its like 99% of everyone's common goal to burn fat, not just "lose weight", and when someone says they want to "lose weight" they mean "burn fat". im being politically correct. if you wanted to specify otherwise then you should have. I don't expect you to say lose weight and then tell you how to lose muscle, its not common.

[BertMacklinFBI]

and FYI, there is such a thing as working out too much. you should do research on that, it could be very beneficial to your goals.
