Re: Question of the day 7/26

[Guest guest]

I work out between 6 and 9 hours per week, in a variety of classes, from

Jazzercise to body sculpting to water aerobics to yoga. I started out with three

classes per week about a year ago and have worked my way up to where I am now. I

had a fitness assessment done at the health club this weekend and was thrilled

to come up with a body fat percentage of 16%. I also scored in the excellent

range on flexibility and strength. They suggested that I get my cardio up a bit

- I'm probably not getting my heart rate up into the right zone for long enough

in my cardio workouts. I scored very good, but could stand to improve.

I am living proof, as are many people on this list, that you can go from total

couch potato to a good level of fitness in a relatively short period of time as

long as you stick with it and challenge yourself.

I had been doing circuit training on my bowflex 3 days a week, and swimming

every day. After a while my body gets used to that, so, now I'm switching

to 3 days a week on my recumbent stationary bike, 2 days on the bowflex, and

swimming whenever I can. Usually my workouts vary from 45 min to 1 hour.

Question of the day 7/26

How many times a week, and for how long do you exercise?

I know everybuddy is individual, and what works for one might not work for

another, but I thought it might be fun for us to see what others are doing!

My Answer:

I normally workout 5-6 days a week. I usually do some combination of

things....treadmill, elliptical, videos/dvds, and weights. It just depends

on my mood. I normally do 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, again depending on

what I choose to do.

What about you?

It depends on the week. I'm training for a marathon, so I have a set

training schedule, but on average I workout six times a week for 45

minutes to over an hour, depending on the workout. I usually run four

times a week, take a pilates class twice a week, and do two cross

training workouts (cardio other than run, weights, or yoga).
