A combination of these exercises which are friendly to your joints would help you burn calories and lose up to 6.5 pounds in a month.

Your Workout:

You would require a treadmill, bike or an elliptical trainer along with good shoes.

You should aim at doing each of the three workouts on alternate days and make sure you take ample rest in between to shun any kind of injury.

If you want immediate results opt for 60 minutes weight workout thrice a week. Plus 30 minutes of medium intensity cardio on the rest days. You need to cut at least 200 calories from your diet daily.

For intense bouts you can start by 7 minutes and reduce it (a minute every cycle) to about 4 minutes in the end of your workout.
