From using a personal trainer - the CV stuff is important, but it is the level and time that you soon realise, by yourself you don't hit in the same way.
For me to lose weight I need to run 20 mins at about 10.5kph and it starts hurting at about 14 mins. Thats the run with a warm up brisk walk at 5.6kph and cool down thas about 30 mins on the treadmill.
Another good one on the tredmill is 3 mins at say 9.5k and 1 min at 14kph then repeat for about 4 times (16 mins).
Weights - if you can lift 3 sets of 8 reps easily it is time to put the weight up.
