Ladies- How many hours of cardio and strength do you do dail

Monday - run 3 miles
Tuesday - run 4-5 miles
Wednesday - 1 hour Arc and weights
Thursday - run 3 miles and weights
Friday - 1 hour Arc and weights
Saturday - long run (I am up to 10 miles this week)

I am training for a 1/2 marathon and I am doing Jamie Eason for weight lifting, so I am working different muscle groups each day during the week.

I'm not real strict about it, but I strive for:

45-60 min aerobic 5-6 evenings a week
30 min of strength training 3 days a week

4-5 work days a week I also do 50 modified (desk) pushups, 50 tricep dips and 100 squats (no added weight) plus may some lunges and stretches, depending on how much time I have on my work breaks.

I have just added the c25k as I train for a 5k in June. Sometimes I skip the other aerobic workout, sometimes I do the c25k in the morning and still do the other aerobics in the evening.

1) How many days a week do you do cardio and strength training.
Monday-Saturday Strength and Cardio (alternating upper and lower body every other day, abs every day) at the gym and some cardio at home on Sundays

2) How long are your cardio and strength sessions?
During "gym days" I am there around 2-2.5 hours a day. Most of the time I do around 75% Strength Training 25% Cardio.
Sundays I just do cardio at home, this includes walking, spring cleaning, that type of stuff.

3) What's your go to strength and cardio exercise?
I almost exclusively use dumbbells for my upper body. I use benches for sit ups, obliques, seated knee raises and back extensions. I use 2-3 arm machines, 6 leg machines, yoga ball for squats and crunches. I also do things like lunges and planks. I sometimes mix it up and use random machines at the gym but most of the time I am pretty busy. I am starting to think about using free-weights and maybe try lifting "heavy". I am curious to see how much I bench
I love the elliptical and treadmill. Bikes don't get my HR up enough

I do Zumba for my cardio. I have the Xbox Kinect game, the one that just came out last month: Zumba Fitness: Rush. It's super intense if you put your all and all into it, which i do. Lots of people say you get a awesome workout in the class because you push to keep up with the instructor and class more than you would on your own. But everyone is different you know? for me, this is my only cardio right now(I want to see just how well Zumba works), so I push myself beyond the limit every step! By the middle of the song, I'm dripping sweat and exhuasted! that's how I know I'm doing it right and getting my fiance's valentine's gift money's worth!:laugh: I plan to finish the game before I attend a class so I can do just that, and hopefully look amazing for class and also have my stamina built up. I have been trying to do Zumba for 30min atleast 4 days a week. working on increasing to 6 days.

I strength train 6 days a wk. I find that my body responds best and shows results if I change it up very often. I'm talking every workout often. i do upper body one day and lower the next, repeating through the week, and changing the pattern each week. I change small things and it makes such a difference. for example, I increase weight every session. no excuses. that makes me push hard for each session knowing it's gonna be harder next time. even if it's only a 5lbs increase, i push for something more each session. another change I'm trying to empliment is introducing a different excercise for a muscle group every few days to further muscle confusion and keep my body guessing.

I've been doing this all March and it's the best change I could have made to my weight loss journey. Since October, I've only lost 3lbs a month. I've already lost 6lbs this month! and 3 inches off my waist (stomach)! I can't wait to see how much weight I've lost by the end of this month!

standard week when the 9-5 fills most of the day, i do 1 hour of cardio 3-4 days a week, and aim to burn 400-500 calories a session.

3 days a week i lift heavy(ish) weights and don't do cardio at all, other than walking the mile and a half to and from the gym.

on vacation weeks (like this one) i OD on cardio in attempts to look nice in my bikini next week. so that's every other day aiming for 800-900 calories burned/session until i get on the plane.

I do 3+ hours of strength a week and 2 hours of cardio

I tend to work out 3 times a week, mixing it all up so probably 45 mins of cardio and then 35 mins of strength, or i spend an hour

doing cardio twice a week and then strength training 1 hour once a week,

so my body doesnt get useto the exercise

:-)

I try to get in about 3 45 minute-1 hr sessions of strength training and 2 45 minute-1 hr cardio sessions per week. On Sundays I take a nice long walk with the dogs or ride my bike next to my man who runs with the dogs. I tend to stick to the elliptical on cardio days, but sometimes take a class if I show up at the gym in time. My strength training routine was built for me by my trainer, and is pretty much a form of circuit training. It gets my heart going like nothing else I've ever done, and I always feel amazing afterwards!

Here's my workout schedule:
-5 days/week i'm at the gym
2 days I start off with 30 min of incline walking (usually at 8 incline and 3.0 mph), then a strength group, then 20 min on the stairmaster machine (Total calories burned for me is about 300)
3 days I do turbo kick boxing at my gym (60 min) and then a strength group afterwards (total calories burned about 1000)
I've done this schedule religiously for the last month and I'm down 15 lbs (including eating good)

circuit/strength 1 hour.
cardio 1 hour.

6 days a week.

i alternate it so my body doesn't get used to it..
today i did cardio in the morning for an hour. and in a bit i will do my circuit/strength for an hour.
