RE: Workouts

Sounds like a great idea as I would like to "mix it up" work-out wise so as not to get in a rut. I currently have commited to 60 minutes of cardio at least 6 times a week...plus lower and upper body weight training.

RE: Workouts

Using weights is great because it strengthens bones!

RE: Workouts

It strengthen your bones and also builds muscle so that your body burns more calories. More muscle=more calories burned even when resting!

I'm lucky, The Y just got a new program director so they are planning all sorts of new classes. Next week they are starting an ab class.

I am addicted to Exercise TV OnDemand. They have a ton of different exercises. I can do abs, then Yoga, then kickbox. I love the variety!!

RE: Workouts

I go to a Group Power class once a week...it's weight lifting with great upbeat music...otherwise I would probably never lift weights. I also do cardio 3-4 times a week and occasionally a yoga/pilates class

RE: Workouts

I am new to this website entirely because i've gotten stuck in a rut and need to get my motivation back. i travel a lot for work so it is difficult to maintain a regular work out schedule. when i do have a time, i try to get to the gym as much as possible and will try to do 20-30 minutes of cardio and 20-30 mins of weight training. Usually i try to switch up the cardio by doing 10 mins on the elliptical and then 10 on the bike, then to the treadmill, stairmaster, etc. I also will do some cardio, then my weight training, then more cardio. i get bored easily so i'm looking for ideas to vary my routines

RE: Share your workouts!

Since I'm not the greatest dieter I have to burn a little more off at the gym. My current workout is:

morning (Mon - Fri) I get up at 4:30 AM and do the following: 10 minutes on abs - includes crunches, ab machine, torso machine, and side bends.

30 minutes on the elliptical machine. I use different types of elliptical workouts and try to increase the resistance at least one level weekly

Lunch break - 1 hour(M,T,Th,F) Monday - heavy weights, 3-4 sets, 6-10 reps for chest, shoulders, and triceps

Tuesday - lighter weights, 3-4 sets, 12-15 reps for back,legs, and biceps

Thursday - lighter weights, 3-4 sets, 12-15 reps for chest, shoulders, and triceps

Friday - heavy weights, 3-4 sets, 6-10 reps for back, legs, and biceps

My afternoon gym closes next week so I will have to modify my morning workouts to get my cardio and weights in. I'll update once I've created it. It'll probably be a boot camp style workout.

Did you see on the biggest loser where they crawled across the floor on their elbows? Try that a couple of times, not hands allowed, just elbows and knees!

Ladders or burners, depending on what you want to call them. Works great on a basketball court or football field. probably everyone knows how to do them but if not, here goes. Start at one end of the field and sprint to the first line. Reach down and tocuh the line and spring back. Do the same for the second line, the third, etc. Depending on your fitness when you are done do 3 sets of 15 - 25 push-ups, then if you're up to it repeat the ladders.

RE: My work out

That's great! I am doing a combo of walking/jogging this week for 50 minutes a day and strength training for about 20 minutes a day. Keep up the great work! Exercise does make you feel good and proud!

RE: My work out

Hi Sandy, how's it going with the walking and the hip hop abs? Were you able to get in as much exercise as you wanted?
