Re: Workout Routine
I love pilates and yoga classes. My routine is different because I train in martial arts. BUT, when I was a gym rat, I would do the following depending on time constraints:
1) 20-30 minutes of bicycle 2) 45-60 minutes interval weights (all of the different machines) 3) 1 hr yoga or pilates class
If I had two hours to kill at the gym I'd do all of it. If I had only an hour I'd do 20 minutes cycling, 40 minutes weights.

Re: Workout Routine
I get so bored at the gym but i dont know what else to do.
I run or do the eliptical for 30 min (little less then 3 miles) 10 min of abs and either upper body or lower body on weights.
and i dance on the weekends.

Re: Workout Routine
when i was going to the gym alot, i would start out on the eliptical (it wasnt too hard on my knees) and do that for about 30-40 minutes, varying the intensity throughout....Then i would head to weight machines, do upper body one day and lower the next, usually took me about a half hour, then I would head onto the treadmill and walk at a steep inclince for about 20-30 minutes.

Re: Workout Routine
I try to vary my routine every week so body doesn't get too used to it. Usually, I start off running a mile to warm up. Then I'll go on the eliptical for anywhere from 20-40 minutes (depending how much time I have). then I do weights...I usually do mostly free weights, right now I'm focusing on my arms. I've always been doing alot of ab workouts. Then I use the machines for my legs (the abductor and the adductor..whatever they're called lol..theyre amazing). Then, I'll cool down on the treadmill for like 10 mins.
Try to vary it up the best you can so your body doesnt get too used to one excercise. My cardio isn't always the ellipitcal, some days I'll go on the stairmaster or run like 3 miles. The only thing i cant do is the bike cuz it bores me lol.
When I first started going to the gym I did ALOT of cardio...that helped me lose weight. now I'm focusing on weights to really tone up.

Walking works too...just do it on an incline and you'll get more of a workout. And WW is fabulous and will help sooo much too.

Ask a trainer at your gym...most gyms give a free tour/trial run of the run or can show you how to use a machine or what machine works out what.

yes, i think i need a trainer. last time i had a trainer he worked me so hard that i got light headed, went into the locker room and fainted. i went back out and told him that i had to leave bc i just remembered i had a paper due the next day.

Tues/Thurs/Sat***(depends on mood)- Arms, chest, back, abs/ Cardio- 30 min
Sundays is a rest day.
You want to work out a min of 4 days a week with a rest day or 2 in between. So with that said, you should be spending anywhere between 40-60 min at the gym. If you have a busy day, skip the cardio and do your workout at a faster rate, to keep you heartrate elevated. You can be out of the gym 20-30 min that day.
I go to Lucille Roberts... what gym do you belong too? If you go to Lucille, depending on the location, I can take you through my workout if you want.
