Toning up my back

I fully admit I am soooooooooo lazy and never exercise, but how often will I have to work out to lose 10 lbs by July and to tone up my back and shoulder cuz my dress has a low back

How often do I do cardio/for how long

How often should I lift weights

TIA!

I would recommend getting the book 'Buff Brides' by Sue Fleming. She has a 12 week crash course where you do cardio and weights 3 or 4 times a week and it works really well. I started it almost 2 weeks ago and I have friends who used the book before their weddings.

well assuming that is you in your avatar, it's going to take you a little while to lose 10 pounds because you're already thin.

I would suggest doing cardio for about 45 min 4-5 times a week. Even if you cant go hard for the full 45 minutes, just keep walking of something to keep your heart going and your metabolism up.
You should also do interval training, alternating sprinting and slow jogging/walking.
Do weights at least 4 times per week, if you go to a gym just use the machines, its easiest and pretty effective. Also pull ups and push ups will help, but you're not going to see significant change in muscle tone in only a few weeks
If you cut out all caloric beverages you'll see changes sooner.

I do taebo 5 days a week, I would recommend doing cardio 6 days a week of cardio and 2 of strength training since you have less than 2 months to go
