You can do your cardio without losing mass as long as you don't go over your target heart rate.

The universal equation is this:
220
-age = Maximum Heart Rate. Now, take 60% - 70% of that number and therein lies your Target Heart Rate. You want to maintain this rate throughout your cardio sessions.

Let's say you're 25 years old. Your Maximum Hear Rate will be 195 (too high and burning muscle) what you want to do is keep it at rate will be in between 117 and 136.

Here's an easy way to keep track of it. Get on your machine and there's always a digital clock. Check your pulse on your cardioid artery. Use two finger and place them on your neck and find it. I'm sure you know where that is Now, just wait till the machine hits 00 or and count until 15 add 100 and say you count 128 beats. You're good to go. You're in between 117 and 136.

If you're serious about getting that dough off, go to the gym before you eat and do 45 minutes of stairs. Then go eat your breakfast

Also if some one could hellp me with a good abb routine that would be great
I do at least 1000 reps a day. There's tons of variations you can do just on the floor, nevermind with wings and off the ball, blah, blah, blah. If you want great abs, do them everyday.
