I have steadily been losing 2-3 pounds per week for the past 4 weeks, as the first week i lost 6 pounds. I am constantly worried about my weight though. I do 50 mins 5 times a week, and am thinking of doing 90 mins 3 times a week, and 30 mins in the days between. Should i change to this or stick to what i have been doing? Thanks:drinker:


Edit - I have been doing a Tae-bo dvd thats 51 mins 4 times a week, and 30 mins on my stationary bike in between the 4 days on wednesday. Im thinking of doing the tae-bo with 40 mins biking M,W,F and the stationary bike for 30 mins T,Th.

    what kind of exercise.

    It's not recommended to weight train more then 45 minutes at a time but cardio is different.

    I agree with the above poster...I myself am a cardio beast I do about 60-120+ minutes daily...I lose about 2-7 pounds per week...It all depends on how much you have to lose and what type of excercise your doing ....if you feel its dropping to fast just give your Doc a ring...

    thanks for staying alive......you could check and see what the Navy boot camp regimen/schedule is like, I imagine it is on the web somewhere and start doing it so you have a leg up when you join....advanced thanks for the service....my Dad was in the Navy and saw the world on an aircraft carrier...while he served he was also engaged to be married to 4 women at the same time, glad he ended up with my Ma....good luck

    Thanks. Yeah, in Recruit Training (basic) they do 1 hour 6 times a week alternating between cardio and strength training, but thats all they say

    If you are still losing doing what your doing then keep with it. Switch your porgram when you hit a plateau.

    I do 45-60 min 7 days a week.....
