Weights and Running

nicolelewissutphin

I am under the impression that if you work different parts of the body every other day you stand to gain the most (or least ^^) from working out and losing weight because your body is working double time to repair the strained muscles. So my question is; if I am running for 30 min every other day what are the best muscle groups, and hence the best machines, to work on the other days?? If your a professional or experienced in this matter how many reps. should I be doing on these machines??

My workout is as follows

Monday - Legs (leg press, hack squat, squat, calf raises, leg extensions, leg curls)
Tuesday - Cardio (Elliptical 10mins, Bike 30mins)
Wednesday - Abs (Crunches, crunch machine, plate twists, slide bridge, plank, weighted sit ups, Knee/Hip raise on parallel bars, decline oblique crunch,
Thursday - Back (Cardio 10mins prior) - I use the cables mostly
Friday - arms - I prefer free weights
Saturday - rest
Sunday - Cardio

I workout 5 days a week. Run 3 times for anything between 30 and 60 mins usually and do a full body weights workout 2-3 x per week.

My routine is:

Mon - run
Tues - weights (barbells & machines in gym or hand weights/body weight exercises at home)
Weds run
Thurs - rest
Fri - rest
Sat - run (and free weights also on occasion)
Sun - weights (always a 1 hour body pump class using barbells)

I usually do 2 sets of 8-15 reps depending on the exercise I'm doing. I base the decision on how much I feel my muscles working and before I feel the burn if that makes sense?
