Does this sould like a good weight-loss program? Thanks!!!

I have a few suggestions, points and tips, this I m assuming your trying to loose or maintain weight:-squats ain t cardio, its more of muscular endurance-try jogging outside where you get more fresh air, the easier it is to breath the more you can push yourself-If you live in an apartment or a two floor house try hopping and running up stairs, I usually take turns between each-Herpies can be really helpful-make sure you slowly increase the amount of reps you do-Make sure you have a motivation, something to keep you going-Music can always help you push yourself to the next level-I d recommend some milk products, milk or yogurt (try to avoid butter or cheese because of their high amount of calories/fat)-An egg every other day could be a healthy choise-Don t be discourged by low weight loss, you are still loosing fat how ever at the same time gaining muscle, in the end it ll be the inch s that make the difference-talk to your doctor about your fitness level and how if this program is right for you-If you are really dedicated try swimming, this is great cardio workout and the natural resistance is only a plus, you won t be getting blisters at the end of your feet-Make sure you stretch thoroughly before doing any of your work out, but DON T over stretch-If you are into a sport try basing your exercises on skills you ll need for this sport, no harm in become more athletic as you become more fit-After you re done your intense work out, don t immediately sit down, walk it down

wow, it sounds really good!but when you say 200 inplace jog, what do you mean?like 200 steps or 200 min? haha... if youre going to jg do it for 30-45 min to burn more cals.

I think it sounds like a good plan. Also, jumping rope can be fun if you get bored with just plain jumping. Lunges are also very good to do!
