Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Katy, For me it all depends. I like to do 20 minutes yoga in the morning and evening and about 1 hour regular workout (weights or aerobics or both). I’m not sure how much weight I’ve lost – I haven’t been very consistent this year. I know I’ve gone from maternity pants to a size 10. A lot of people don’t count yoga as a real workout though (more as stress relief or something similar lol) But I add on as I feel fit and if I slack off I start small again. I don’t think it matters how much you work out a long as you are consistent. Working out is my favorite part of the day though so I like it to last a long timeJ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Katy Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2006 12:16 AM Subject: How much time I see many reports of what you each did during the day and sometimes it looks like you all workout 2 hours a day. If I could get replies to this e-mail just stating in general about how much time you generally workout each day. I'm just curious. I also would like to know how much have each of you lost in the last year. I workout about ________ min each workout day I have lost about _______ in the past year Thank you Katy -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 how long i workout depends on if you want to count my yoga. then yes it could be up to 2-3 hours a day. but yoga can be 30-60 mins before breakfast then after viola goes to school and i have had breakfast it could an hour or 2 hours with cardio,weights,and stretching. i am aiming for no more then an hour for cardio or weights so i don't burn myself out. not sure b/c i never really weight myself,just once in awhile. kassia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Katy, Typically, I workout 1 to 1 1/2 hours 5 days a week, but right now I'm only doing the treadmill and physical therapy, so nothing too strenuous. Usually, it is 30 minutes of weights, 30 minutes of cardio, and 30 minutes of flexibility if I do all three, others I'll extend one type of workout to an hour and may or may not do the other types. Sometimes I'm not able to get the full 90 minutes in, but at the very least I do 30 minutes a day. As for how much lost, I don't really know. I was in more of a maintenance phase and have stayed pretty close to the same weight since losing 75 pounds of fat 3 years ago. Since I was unable to workout at all for the last 6 weeks and overdoing it with food due to the holidays, I'm actually feeling heavier then normal right now. Since they cleared me to get on the treadmill again, I'll be bringing that back down as fast as my limited workouts will allow. Maybe I'll do my weight and measurements with my goals for 2006.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Hi Katy, I workout in the morning and in the evening about 6 days a week. Sometimes I take the weekends off, but only once everyone couple months. I usually workout an hour to an hour and a half depending on the rotation I'm on. Some mornings I do yoga and then in the evening I do my cardio. Other days I do weights in the morning and cardio in the evening. I usually try to do my cardio in the evenings because that is when I have the most energy. ~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Thank you all for your response. I was just curious how it worked for you all. Sounds like most of you are doing 30 min of yoga, some strength training, and probably spending the most time in cardio. There are so many reports of what people do that I get overwhelmed so I thought this would help sort it out a bit. Katy Hi Katy, I workout in the morning and in the evening about 6 days a week.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hi Katy! I'd say I workout anywhere from 45 min to 90 min most days of the week. The 90 min days do include yoga/Pilates/stretching into that time, though. I haven't really tried to lose any weight this year - although I'm sure I've gained some in December! I'm pretty much at a good weight for my height/build though, so weight loss isn't a goal for me right now (although I would like to lose a bit of the pudge from the holidays!) Take care, Donna --- __________________________________ for Good - Make a difference this year. http://brand./cybergivingweek2005/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
