I started eating healthier and going to the gym with the aim to lose 10-15 kg (22-33 lbs) and have done some stuff with a personal trainer. She said to do cardio and told me what to do which was elliptical, treadmill, rowing machine. I did this for 2 days before meeting up with her again and in those 2 days I did 25 mins walk 3 run 3 on the treadmill, 20 mins on elliptical and 20 on the rower. I was feeling really good with what I was doing and the amount I was doing. I felt adequately tired but wasn't drained. Also I read that running burns stomach fat. When I met up with her again today she said that that was too much I and adjusted what I was doing. She adjusted it to 30 mins elliptical and about 1k of distance on the rower (5 mins) she said if I was feeling up to it I could do treadmill. I can understand the move to the elliptical as it targets more of the body but lowering the amount of time I was exercising made no sense. Should I keep spending an hour in the gym or cut it down to the 35/45 mins she suggested?
TLDR: trainer lowered amount of cardio, I don't think I should.
EDIT: I am currently 80kg/180 pounds 5'9" m15. I have asthma but am managing it really well. I have buckets of free time and I want to spend it at the gym.
