Quote From: lucky35Hi, I'm in my mid 30s and I used to exercise (weights) 3X/week. Then I cut back to 2X/week, now I am exercising (with weights) 1X/week. The reason being is that for one, I got married and my schedule is jammed packed with school and work. I seriously had to cut-back on something to better balance my life out! I also figured that my work-out only lasts for 1 day anyways, so I didn't really see the relevance of working out 3x/week. I have a nice upright bike on lay-a-way that I am about to get out and I can't wait! I figured that I could still exercise with weights 1x/week and then use my bike at home to do intense cardio training (you can adjust your resistence with this bike) to supplement my weight work-out. I have also been focusing on eating a lot more healthy and I have lost some weight. I still want to lose 10 more pounds. So...what I'm trying to say is that I think it is better to eat healthy and lose weight and get my body in a very good BMI state and do a good cardio work-out at home 2-3x/week (for 15-60 minutes) AND weight-train only once a week at the gym then it is to eat anything I want and work out with weights 3x/week. Any thoughts would be appreciate?! Thank you.
I have been told that if you exercise for atleast 30 to 45 minutes 3 times per week, that can be quite good for you and your body. If you want to do more then do so.
My hubby and I joined a Gym just afew weeks ago and well I'm going on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and workouting for atleast 45 minutes. I do 5 minutes warm up on the tredmill and then I go and do some cardio exercises like, doing different exercises with small weights and then after that I'm back on the tredmill for 10 minutes and getting my heart rate up to about 140 or so beats per minute.
Each time I go to the Gym I have been pushing my body just that little bit harder so that my body gets use to the exercise. I hope to start seeing some results sooner than later.
Good luck to you and please TAKE CARE, LOVE KELLY.
