If you've lost 50 pounds you're doing something right. Almost anything that gets your heart rate up will burn calories. Biking, running, walking, sparring, lifting (higher reps with lighter weight to emphasize weight loss), HIIT, dancing, whatever..

I'd also recommend drinking a lot of tea and black coffee for caffeine.; ▶ Reply to This

im also doing it to lose weight and for event.

problem with me is i have not done eny running for my cardio , the only cardio i have been getting is submission/ sparring training with friends

for someone who never runs what would be a good idea/ just run every day or every other day
or do i just keep what im doing??; ▶ Reply to This

Diet is actually the key to losing weight, not exercises. For example, I can run for 30 minutes and only burn 400 calories. If I then eat a slice of pizza, consider that all this running was a waste of time because this slice of pizza had around 400 calories. So, counting the calories is important because you can lose weight without doing any exercises.
You can lose weight by boosting your metabolism through diet by changing calorie intake each day. Please visit http://www.naturalphysiques.com/tools.php?itemid=64 to learn more.

In terms of workouts, you can do anything you like. For example, I run 3 times a week 6 km, and 3 times a week I do a whole body work out: push ups, pull ups, crunches, some neck and lower back exercises. I repeat each of these exercise one after another for 10-15 minutes or so without stopping. So, I train both strength and endurance. I don't lift any weights.
There are tons of other workouts like swimming or biking, skiing etc. Do what you like.; ▶ Reply to This
