go to gym, lift heavy things, put them down, repeat as necessary until desired area feels like wet noodles, leave gym, repeat 2 days later.

I need to switch mine up! :indifferent:
Right now I do cardio 4-5 times a week for about 45 minutes to an hour (each trip). Usually using the cybex or elliptical. Sometimes I use the bike too. Every other gym trip I try to incorporate the weight machines mostly for upper body. Once I'm home from the gym I stretch/do yoga for 10-15 minutes

VF.

I alternate strength training and cardio days1-5 or 6. I rest days 6 or 7 or sometimes both. Strength train with a PT for now. Cardio is either long (60 min) and moderate HR or short (30-45) and interval with HR average at 75% to 80% max. I use a HR max calculation that factors in my resting HR on advice of my PT. After a couple of months of training, my resting heart rate dropped from 68 to the low 50s. Using the regular HRMax didnt feel like I was working out hard enough. Since I changed my calculation, I work out at a higher HR, but it used to show up as 90% of max.

mrsjennifermaffei

This moment I don't have one. Been on hiatus for about a month.
Tonight I plan on doing 40 mins of stationary bike and 30DS M-F.

Would really like to switch to a more comprehensive free weight program, but I'm completely lost when it comes to working with free weights. :frown: :embarassed:

Tues, Thurs, Sat:
Walk/run in park for 25-45 minutes
3-4 hill sprints
About 15 minute of various core and leg strengthening exercises using a swiss ball

sunshineshica

Mon. -Thurs I run outside or in the gym. If time permits, I throw in some type of strength training.
Sat and/or Sun same thing but I may put in more time for my strength training
For the most part, running is my main focus. No other cardio exercise makes me feel like I received a great workout by the end of it like running does.

Tues - shoulders -abs -25 min cardio
Thurs- back & biceps -abs - 25 min cardio
Fri- Zumba
Sat - walking/ running 60min

Switch every month between, dumbells & bar, treadmill, bike & elliptical for cardio. Im finding it hard to build muscle & drop weight at the same time.

Does the 2 hours a week that am in the grocery store walking count , what about laundry, and housecleaning? just a joke (except for that grocery store business).

Mine is very much dependant on what I've done at uni that day - if I had to be in at 7.30am the chances of me exercising when I finish as 5-6pm are pretty slim! Also for weekends if I go stay with my boyfriend for the weekend, I don't tend to make time for exercise either.

But generally during Monday-Friday I try to do 30-45mins of swimming twice, and around 1 hour in the gym twice (a mix of cardio and some of the arm and leg weight machines), with 1 day off.

Weekends I have much more free time during daylight hours, so my housemate has instructions to bully me into outdoor running in the nearest park - anywhere between 1.5 and 3 miles depending on how long it takes me to be on the verge of keeling over. Running outside is much more fun than on a treadmill cos you feel like you are actually getting somewhere, and I find it much easier to be motivated to do it - you can't really give up half way around since you still have to go the rest of the way around the park to get back home anyway!

Lennox497

Mon- weight lifting
Tues-interval trianing (either spinning or running)
Wed-weight lifting
Thurs - either body combat or interval training
Fri-weight lifting

Im following hte New Rules of Lifting for Women program so I do the exercises from the book on my lift days.

good! always good to see women realizing they arent going to get the body of a man!

I second your reponse on this one. To gain muscle mass takes a lot of effort. I love a woman that lifts weights and can lift heavy too. Fit is sexy as hell.

merilewa

What it looks like and what I want it to look like are two different things. I have been getting a total of 4-6 days of walking in. Some weeks I skip altogether. It is easy to skip one day if I skipped the day before then it turns into a week. Finally back at it again. Planning to add some toning as well.
