Hi Guys

Im a total noob to training and need advice.
I got type 1 diabetes a couple of years ago and find it harder to keep in shape, so i thought it was about time i toned up.
I have a good size spare room to the rear of the kitchen so i splashed a fare bit cash on a good treadmill and multi gym (nordic track and marcy) and i decked the room out so its conducive to training.
I know a lot of people say you wont use the equipment when its in your home, but i havent spent £1500 lightly, and my motivation is my overall health since getting diabetes.

Where i need advice guys is in the following areas:-

I plan to do a mix of weights and cardio 3-4 times a week. During each session how long should i do the weights for and then how long on the cardio in-order to tone up?

My primary objective is to loose weight and tone up,but i wouldnt mind bulking up a little too. Will the amount of sessions be enough to achieve this?

The areas where im getting a bit flabby are around the belly and the chest. When im working on the multi gym which excercises will best hep me reduce the fat and work on these areas?

Finally any other advice would be great guys.

thanks in advance.
