Ladies- How many hours of cardio and strength do you do dail

TinkrBelz

I teach a class 8x/week 1 hour long. Since I am the teacher, I can do what I want! SO, I will have some cardio moves and then we will do something to work a certain muscle group. I figure other moms are busy like I am, so I really try to give them a good full body workout in an hour class.

Cardio--I run ~5 days a week for a minimum of 35 minutes up to 70 minutes (occasionally a little longer).

Strength--I'm in the middle of P90X right now. Each dvd is approximately one hour long (except the Abs which is only 15) but there is a lot of stretching and warm up in there too. It's usually about 40-45 minutes of actual of actual exercises. That's 6 days per week. There is a stretch dvd for the 7th day but I have been enjoying taking one day off with no videos


S--rest
M--P90X Arms and Ab Ripper, run ~6miles
T--P90X Plyometrics, run 4-5 miles
W--P90X Arms and Ab Ripper, run 4-5 miles
Th--P90X Core Synergistics, run 5-6miles
F--P90X Legs and Ab RIpper
Sa--P90X Kenpo (sometimes--it depends on how long I run), run 8-10 miles

4x a week cardio at the gym for at least 45 minutes
2x a week strength training at they gym for at least 30 minutes

I use the treadmill, elliptical, rowing machine, wave machine, and a home gym they have set up in the facilities - I love the elliptical.

30 day shred workout vid daily (circuit training)

and every day I take my dogs for a long walk, so I suppose that is additional cardio --

hope this helps!

Mondays at noon I take a zumba class (50 min) then I strength train for about an hour in the evening

Tuesdays I either take a walk, do pilates, or some sort of minor toning (espeically for buns and abs which you can work every day) and Tuesday nights I do a zumba class.

Wednesday at lunch I do a 45 minute kickboxing class with 5 minutes of abs after. Wednesday nights I do a muscle works class.

Thursdays I take a hip hop dance class at lunch (about 50 min) - and relax at night

Fridays I take zumba or an other dance class at lunch and relax in the evenings

Saturday mornings I do a muscle works class followed by a zumba class

Sundays I relax

- I'm planning to get the brazil butt lift program and incorporate it in there somewhere - but I'm not sure what I'm going to replace with it yet

I've been gettting good results and have lost a little over 100 lbs total so far.

And then about 3 hours of Exercising like circuit type training. Three or four times a week. 30 minute sessions.

cantobean

my cardio workouts range from 25 minutes to an hour. I usually run 2-3 miles 3 times a week (20-35 minutes each time) and once a week I do an hour-long zumba workout.

I aim for twice a week strength training. It takes about 25-30 minutes to get through my routine. I've only been hitting once a week lately, but some weeks I add an hour of yoga.
