Thursday - bellydancing - tribal style workshop
Friday - Run - 1hr + legs strengthening workshop (20mins)
Saturday Bellydancing - tribal style workshop + upper body strengthening workshop (20mins)
Sunday - Yoga, Black sheep hour (slow moves)

Plus i was hoping to do a abs/core 12min workout every morning


Do you think thats too much? Belly dancing is very low impact with the tribal workshops being more intensive than the black sheep stuff.

And i am varying the upper body/lower body workshops.

    looks fine. Although i have no idea what most of these workouts are :laugh: If the workouts are not taxing on your CNS by the 6th day then you can workout everyday.

    Your strength training sessions are really short.

    I would try to get in 3 full body workouts a week - they would usually be between 45 minutes to an hour.

    I would schedule one day of rest for your body at least, possibly two. Sounds like fun, but you're pushing your body a lot.

    Belly dancing is a full body work out :)

    I couldnt work out any more than that, all my exercises have to be within the hours of 7pm - 9pm with one extra day session on a Tuesday.

    I was going for Sunday and Tuesday being rest days, with just very very light yoga and drills :)

    I meant resistance/strength training. I would cut/reschedule the cardio to fit them in

    Only so much you can do with dumb bells though :)

    Plus my focus is not on strength training, my focus is on improving my dancing and enjoying my runninga s its the only thing that gets me out of the house without the boys and allows me some headspace :)

    Thanks for the suggestions but i think 4 x 20min squats/dumbell stuff is fine, especially considering that belly dancing contains an awful lot of body toning/strength training too :) Its not cardio
