Working hard means doing more than a few days of this and that. Bodybuilders are pros at what they do, and often go to an extreme most won't. However, following a strict diet regiment and a good routine is not 'the way of the bodybuilder'. It's what everyone should be doing to stay healthy.

People in the gym that workout by jumping from machine to machine without any real sense of direction will see slow slow progress. Do it properly or don't do it at all. If you don't do it properly then don't cry when the results are less than average.

If you want to lose weight (Both muscle and fat) then cardio will help. Diet will help MORE. If you want to lose FAT the weights will play a more important role than cardio. You want to hold onto the muscle you have (Or, if you still a noob to lifting, enjoy your noobie gains). To do this you must LIFT and EAT accordinly. Cardio helps, HIIT is better.
