I've only got 2 weeks left on my membership. How much weight would I lose if I did cardio for 45 mintues and weight lifting for 45 minutes in these next 2 weeks?
How much weight would I lose if I went to the gym everyday for 2 weeks?
it mostly depends on on how much/what you eat. Ever heard the phrase you can't outrun a bad diet? If you're serious about wanting to lose weight there are plenty of online calculators that can determine first off how many calories you would need simply to sustain your weight, then figure out how much of a deficit you want to create. To lose one pound of fat a week you need to have a negative 500cal deficit every day (because then it would equal a 3500cal deficit for the whole week which is the amount of calories in one pound of fat). The easiest way to this is to track and weigh all your food in an app like myfitnesspal.
In terms of exercise, we actually burn a lot less calories than what the machine tells us. If I walk/jog at a decent pace with an incline for 45minutes the machine says I burned 350+calories but it's actually closer to half that. This is why you should focus tracking cals from food and treat your diet as king and use exercise as more of an aid.

Meh... depends.
What's your body type? I am a type, that if I ran and lifted consistently, I'd drop weight like a crazy person because it is extremely difficult for my body to gain muscle.
My friend is the type that builds muscle very easily but it is very difficult for her to drop fat. So she gains weight.
My other friend builds muscle and drops fat at a relatively even pace.
Also... how much and what are you eating after your workout? If you burn 600 calories during your workout (lifting burns calories too) but then you go and eat a cheeseburger meal from McDonald's after every gym session... you won't lose any weight.
Common misconception, you don't loose weight by going to the gym. You loose weight by dieting. Running and weight lifting will help, but only a little. If you want to loose weight you have to consume less calories than you burn, this is a bit of an oversimplification but it is the gist of it.
I would suggest downloading a free app called my fitness pal. It's a great tool to help you keep track of your calories and caloric goals. If you don't have a smart phone you can do it manually in what's called a food dairy/journal.

Round it all up to an hour to make it easier.
Good cardio (cycling, running, swimming) burns 600 calories an hour, give or take.
Weight training is harder to quantify, the Mayo clinic says it's about 450 per hour.
The generally accepted rule is 3500 calories per pound.
Therefore, six hours of cardio for a pound, or nearly eight hours of weights.
Your results can and will likely vary dramatically, and going all out for 14 days will not be good for your body.

It's impossible to calculate. You'd have to be in the calorie deficit, it'd largely depend on your current weight, what you do at the gym - there's too many factors that play in here to determine that.
I'd say 5-10 lbs at most? That's a ballpark guess. Ask @fearless_banana he's the fitness guy. - 1.5K opinions shared on Health & Fitness topic.
really impossible to tell you. it would depend on how much fat you have to burn and how much muscle you'd potentially put on
keep in mind muscle weighs more than fat so even if you shed fat you could put on weight simply by developing more muscle -
If you go to the gym everyday for two months let's say it's a 15 mins walk at 3m/hr so 30mins walk a say thats roughly 800 calories 3 lbs times 30 that's 90 on a uniform distribution but that's not how we lose weight so let's call it 50 lbs that's what you'd lose now adjust for diet you'd gain probably 90 back so you'll put on 40 more pounds

You can't really say everyone's body is different plus it also depends on what you eat. In the past when I would work out for about 2hrs everyday and eat whatever I want once it was within my calories I would lose between 1-2 lbs.
-
depends on how much you eat and work out, to get a rough answer you need to calculate calories in and calories out,
going to the gym daily is not a good idea unless you are a body builder. -
Depends how much you weigh and what your diet is. But I would say you'll lose like 5 pounds best 2 pounds at worst
-
Max 5 kg I think. Also, it depends on what you eat.
-
Depends on what you do in the gym, and what you et outside the gym.
-
Depends on sleep, stress, current weight, current activity level, diet, caloric intake, genetics, etc etc. I doubt any more than 5 lbs
-
I get your point but exercising doesn't work like that. You could starve yourself for two weeks but you'll just gain the weight back, know what i mean?
Pick up a standard beginner weight lifting program if you want to be in shape. - 368 opinions shared on Health & Fitness topic.
A person can safely loose about one to two pounds a week, So assuming that you did it right, about 4 pounds.
-
This depends on so many things, like your metabolism and height/weight ratio and so on. Nobody can give you that answer
-
depends how fat you are and if you also follow a strict diet (the more important factor in weight loss)
-
Not a lot. Most of it would be water weight and that would come right back
-
I don't know for sure
-
About 3.5 kg.
