Is this enough exercise - I have money and time restraints?

I am trying to run 3 times a week at lunch times (C25K) but am pretty slow and have also joined a gym.

I will try and go 2 x a week (can’t go more for financial reasons – I have bought a carnet of 10 sessions which I can use in gym or for a class and I need that to last me till Dec)

What is best –

Use the gym twice a week and do cardio+weights – I had an induction so have a weights routine designed for me
Gym once and a class (I could make either Bokira Fitness or Aquagym - which is best?)
Avoid gym and attend 2 x classes (both BF and AG)

I can’t really do both as I work full time and have a small baby so need to limit my sessions to an hour or just over

Is that enough exercise to both lose weight but also to improve my fitness which after a baby is not great? I want to do more but finding the time is tricky.

Any advice on how to maximise my limited time and resources?

Thanks

  • That sounds like more than enough. Your running speed and thus the benefit to fitness will improve just by sticking with the program. I think weights twice a week sounds fine, and is probably easier to fit into a busy schedule than a class.
