Hey all, need help :)

Hi all, i am in need of some help regarding cardio.
I have just turned 17, and have started going to the gym again after a few weeks off. I currently am 5, 11" and weigh around 75kg. Waistline is 30".
I am trying to lose a few ore pounds to show my six pack again but nothing is coming off.
I try to do at least 20-30 mins of running a day and weight training (machines down the gym) 5 or 6 days a week and still no result. I have been using protein shakes for at lest a month and notice an increase of muscle on my body. Am i doing something wrong with cardio? should i be doing more every day?

Really appreciate the help guys if anyone replies.

Thanks,
Morgan288

hello m8
you sound pretty lean anyway it maybe your diet that is at fault post it up and we will take a look

ok so it usually goes something like this.

Breakfast - Low sugar, high fibre cereal with semi skimmed milk
10.30 - 1 Apple
Lunch - Wholegrain bread, (mayonnaise (low calorie 10g) and a slice of ham)
3.30 - Come home from school, i usually have a banana and a low fat yoghurt and then straight to the gym.
5.00 - Come out of the gym, one scoop of maximuscle promax.
6.30 - Skinless chicken breast and sweetcorn
In the night i usually just have a bowl of cereal or some toast then go to sleep.

What you think?
I havent looked much at my diet, but i have cancelled out junk food and alcohol (i shouldnt be drinking it anyway at my age )

ive made a few changes with your diet m8 as for cardio add half a hour after each weight session , and do thirty min on your off days . a thirty inch waist is far from fat lol

A different abdominal exercise
While in a seated position, bend your knees and bring the feet in so they are
about 10-12 inches from your body. Keep your feet flat on the floor. Hunch your
torso forward, tuck your chin into your chest, and hold your hands on the
outsides of your knees. Now lean back while maintaining a hunched position
until your arms are completely extended (still holding on to the outsides of your
knees). At this point, let go of your knees and extend the arms forward. Are you
feeling the strain in your abs yet? If you are like most people, there will be a
tendency to start falling backward. This is due to the fact that only the abs are
involved in maintaining your balance and the usual "helpers" like the hip flexors
are excluded from the equation. It's now time to generate some serious
punishment.
Slowly raise the arms so that they are pointing directly overhead (keeping the
body hunched forward). Can't be done you say? And I thought you were strong!
If this is too intense, extend the feet outward until you can maintain balance. As
you get stronger you can bring the feet in closer. Hold the outstretched arms
above for 10 seconds. This is considered one rep.
Slowly bring them down and just as slowly, allow the torso to come up to the
original position. Rest for 10 seconds. Once again, slowly lean back and repeat
the movement. Ten "reps" performed correctly will be one hell of a vicious set.
The number of sets performed are up to you. It would be fair to say that after 10
minutes of this type of training, your abs will be screaming for mercy. How badly
do you want it?
Abs are stubborn. Fat loves to hang around
