    i do cardio 6x a week. 3-4 days are heavier than others (60 mins vs about 45 ish). weight/strength training like 2-3x a week.

    Does anyone know why you are given more calories when you have exercised? I thought the idea was to exercise and keep to the 1200 calories

    I work out 4-6 days a week, but it is all cardio at this time. The trainer I had when I joined my gym suggested I focus on losing before toning. I last anywhere from 60-90 minutes each session. 1 hour minimum for me.

    Your trainer is mistaken.. You should be doing combo of cardio and weights. If not then you risk losing what muscle you have, and when you finish losing, your going to wind up with the skinny fat look.

    Ditch the all cardio and do some weight lifting.. and I think you'll be surprised.

    An even better to strength train is to prevent injuries.

    I tend to do bootcamp or strength and abs (high intensity for 1hr) on Monday's
    Tuesdays is strength and abs for 1hr,
    wed is turbo kick (like taebo on steroids) for an hour,
    thurs is dance fusion (hip hop dancing) or strength and abs or bootcamp for 1hr,
    fri is n/a as she has no classes offered when i am out of work.. i really should do a video,

    I do 6 days/week, anywhere from 2-4 hours on average. It's usually split up between morning and evening. Occasionally I have to perform on Sunday, my typical rest day.

    2-3 x week 45-60 min spin
    1-2 x week 2-hour road cycling 16-20 mph
    4-6 hours/week dance rehearsal and/or performance
    2-3 hours/week SUP (stand-up paddleboarding) on the lagoon, occasionally ocean

    I'm just starting. I'm trying to get at least 90 minutes in every day, with an optional day off if I'm REALLY hurting, but I don't even want to take that day. I did this first week, though, Thanksgiving Day. I really want to increase my workouts to two or more hours every day, but slowly enough so I don't wind up with any injuries, I weigh too much right now, I think I should be careful. To my surprise, though, I'm already building up a little more endurance and strength.
