Suggestions on Sleep and Workouts

Shalini_15

I am looking for losing weight (close to 20kgs) and need some advice on sleep and workouts:

I wanted to just check these 2 things:

1. How many hours do you sleep every night?
2. How many days a week do you workout?

I will answer this first -

1. I sleep minimum 7 hrs every night. There are nights if I sleep late and my alarm is less than 7 hrs, I generally tend to skip my gym and sleep for 9 hrs but wake up tired, sleepy n gloomy This may be more of mental thing.

2. I try to workout 5 days a week. This includes 5 days (these days only 4 days ) workout at gym and 1-2 sessions at home or cardio sessions in the evening.

Just wanted to know what routine others follow?

Thank you

I struggle with insomnia and rarely do I get more than 6 hours in a night and never 6 in a row it's always broken into 2-3 chunks of sleep that add up to 5-6 hours in total.

I run every other day and walk a couple of miles most days too. Often take Mondays off, as that's Trash Day in my neighborhood and I don't enjoy walking or running down streets lined with smelly trash cans.

that's the routine I follow.

Sleeping atm around 10h, but you might not wanna do that ^.^ Sleep is defo important and while there's variation in how much an individual needs, the general advice is usually for 8 hours.

Workout: 3 times a week, 2 of which are gym (strength with warm up and cooldown cardio), and a session of yoga (core strength focus, not the stretch only kind). I don't like exercising everyday, but if you're doing cardio you might be able to pull it off. I personally loathe cardio with every cell.

I sleep 7-8 hours a night and go for daily 40 min morning jogs (except for Saturdays). I also walk to work (50mins Mon-Fri), and to grocery store/friends houses/restaurants. Unless its more than an hour, I walk basically everywhere.
