Depends on diet and: Cardio alone is not going to make you loose weight.You have to be on a low calorie, low carb diet and exercise programme.If your reduced calorie intake plus exercise programme is minus 500 calories, that is total of calories burnt during exercise and reduced intak, you will loose 1lb per week.That is 3500 calories loss.So if you burn more and eat less you can calculate yourself how long it will take.
