in Fitness and Exercise
Hi everybody,

I'm sort of new to exercising and I could use some input. Up until now I've been doing the BeFit in 90 days- routine. That's about 35 minutes 5 times a week, but I want to be exercising at least an hour. I have a stationary rowing machine (well, my boyfriend does) at home and I've downloaded a start-to-run app (to 5K).

The BeFit routine is sort-of the same:
- a warming up (5 min)
- a strength routine with weights (back/shoulders, but, arms, ...) (10 min).
- a cardio (mma, fatburning, cardio booster) (10 min)
- a cooling down (yoga or normal stretch) (10 min).

Once a week there are two cardio routines and once a week two strength segments.

I was wondering what to do first. The rowing/running or the BeFit DVD's. I read somewhere to do strength first, followed by cardio, but rowing is kinda both, I think (I might be wrong :) ). Anyways, I would appreciate the input of some more experienced people!

Thanks! Nina

    Yes, it's generally better to do strength first.. or (even better) do them at different times of the day. You can do 5 minutes of the rower before strength as a full-body warmup.

    Thank you very much for that advice!

    I'll do them at different times whenever I work from home.
