Wanting Input On My Workout Schedule...

dogo187

Ive scheduled my workout in my planner and it looks like this...

Monday - Curves 30 Minute Circuit

Tuesday - Body Pump 1 hour class + 30 minutes on the treadmill

Wednesday - Curves 30 Minute Circuit

Thursday - Body Pump 1 hour class + 1 hour walking my beast of a dog around a track

Friday - 1 hour Step and Tone group fitness

Saturday - Curves 30 Minute Circuit

Sunday - REST DAY!!!!!

in the evenings if the weather is good and if i plan my afternoon properly i also taky my beast on a walk around the neighborhood. i really dont build up much of a sweat since the kids also walk with me and obviously the pace is a little slower than i would normally do...

just looking for some feedback about my schedule...something i should change, leave out or whatever...

thankyou!!!!!!!!!!

How beginner are you? These are all really great ways to get started, but they're also all really cardio-focused. If the Bodypump and Curves circuits are easy for you muscle-wise (meaning, you might get tired or out of breath but you don't have sore muscles the next day), it's definitely time to cross out some of the cardio and add in some heavier resistance training. New Rules of Lifting for Women and Starting Strength are both good places to start, if you have access to free weights, or you can look around for bodyweight exercises if you don't. (There are some really fun playground-based routines that I do when I take my kids to the park. Look like an idiot, but now I'm a stronger idiot who's having a lot of fun playing with her kids instead of sitting on the bench, so who cares?)

Oh, and it's excellent that you're scheduling some of the lower-intensity stuff like slow walks. A lot of times we forget that our bodies are meant to move all day long, not just while we're at the gym - that kind of stuff has subtler effects but they're really important for your health.
