how long do you do cardio for

I do 45 on the elliptical because it's low impact and I feel very jiggly when I run. :blushing:

I do a 30 min step class, then 15 min strength training Balance, and streaching is after that. (stay active)

It varies for me.
Usually I'll walk/run for an hour...or at least until i'm up to 5 miles.
Sometimes I'll elliptical for 30 and bike for 30. It just depends on my mood ha.

I also do a boot camp class twice a week and that keeps my heart rate up.

Daily I do at minimum 30 minutes on the treadmill at a brisk pace, then two days a week I take a 60 minute weight lifting class (BodyPump), three days a week I do pilates plus I wait tables 3-4 nights a week.

I usually run or walk, stair master or do the treadmill on incline.

when I do weights i do 10 minutes on the treadmill at about 3.5 incline and 4.3 speed. Just to warm up. In between each rep for weights I get down and do 20 sit-ups. (hold at top and go down slowly). or I do one of the ab machines and I also do sets of pushups in between my reps.

Then afterwards I go work on abs more, with leg lifts, flutter kicks, lungs, etc and different other excerises I want to add in there. But I will do like 4 sets (each set consist of about 4-6 different exercises repeating for each set)

I just try to keep my cardio going while doing weights. So doing the sit ups and pushups in between helps a lot.

Also since my main problem area is my stomach...I wear one of those sweat bands that you wrap around you. I am usually soaked when i take it off.

I normally do at least 50 minutes (video). A few days a week I'll add another 30 minutes on the elliptical for a total of 80 minutes of cardio. I find it exhilarating and I also feel pumped afterwards.
Once it warms up :glasses: , I'm planning on jogging again (can't wait). I normally run for 60 minutes. I'll be lighter this summer than I was last summer so it shouldn't be an issue.:bigsmile:

oh and i do it 5 days a week

I do an hour + of cardio when I'm at the gym (5x/wk) and then about 20 minutes of either a circuit or weight training. I also walk my dogs everyday - rain or shine - and I play soccer. Not a lot of sitting at my house :laugh:
The cardio I enjoy most is the elliptical and stationary bike. I hate hate hate the treadmill and stepper! I would rather do my walking outside.

I do 10 min with a 3 min cool down period so 13 min total 2 times a day, plus walking around the office and wlking the dog in the am so i get anywhere from 30-40 min cardio a day.

I do an hour cardo 5 X a week :drinker: :drinker:

For the past few weeks I have been getting minimum 60 mins on the Crosstrainer and if I push myself a little longer, I can do an additional 20-30 mins. Depending on how busy the weight area is, I do like 10 mins of that (I wish I could do longer).

On Wednesday, I bowl competitively for 2 hrs and then rush home and try and get 30 mins of cardio in.

I am trying

You're doing just the right amount - what you can do. Hopefully everyone is doing that.:bigsmile:

I do 30-45 minutes of swimming 2 times a week, and 30-45 min of elliptical 2 times a week. Once every week or two I do a brisk (3.5 mph) one hour walk.

I do 45 minutes on the treadmill a mixture of jogging and steep uphill speed walking 3 times a week as well as around 30-45 minutes ont he machines and stit-ups etc. I then also try and do push-ups, sit-ups etc. at home ont he days i don't go to the gym and then I try and do my exercise video once at the weekend!
