So l started working out about 2 weeks ago. Now that I am on my 3rd week l need more of a schedule instead of just wondering from machine to machine. This is what l have so far:

Sunday- Swimming for cardio and abs
Monday- Eliptical for cardio and Shoulders and chest and abs
Tuesday- Step class for cardio (need a another body part,but not legs) and abs
Wednesday- Treadmill for cardio and legs and abs
Thursday- Another class maybe like cycling or hop for cardio. Bi is and tris and abs.

l know I am missing something. l need help for Tuesday though. l could just not do any weight training on tuesday and do just cardio. l just dont know! Can anyone give me advice on this? Thanks in advance!

What about the gluts and the hamstrings? Try doing a couple sets of squats and lunges on Tuesday.

l would move your arms from Thursday to Tuesday and do some squats and lunges and maybe some calf work out on Thursdays. Since you do a lot of cardio using your legs, this will give you a chance to fully recover on Friday and Saturday after lifting weights with your legs. You would probably be doing high reps, low weight.

All u really need to do is a ten minute cardio workout daily. Start with a short warm up doing fairly static exercises or small strong movements. Do short burst of high intensity cardio (skipping, dancing, sprinting or cycling) for 30 seconds, then rest of 2 minutes. Repeat the short burst for 40 seconds & rest for 2 minutes. Repeat the 40 second burst & rest for 2 minutes. Do another 30 second burst followed again by 2 minutes rest & finally do one more 20 second burst & you're done. For muscle toning, do ten minutes/ day & rotate muscle groups every other day or every three days. Most people can stick with 20 minutes per day. Simple

Great question! Some things u need to know about. Adaptation is one, & the other is frequency, intensity, duration, & mode, Dont forget the three categories that r flexibility strength & cardiovascular. Your body will adapt to ur training methods, & its important to not over train yourself. Switching up with different types of exercises is great but with long drawn out cardio routines u will get burned out, exspecialy if u do not see results. Your 45min & 60min of cardio is great if ur going to be a marathon runner but u can accomplished the same results in 20 minutes with even more results. Anything over 20min u will start to burn muscle, muscle burns calories at rest making ur body more efficient. Your 20 minutes should be more intense than ur 45-60 minute workout & u should improve every workout so u do not adapt. With this extra time u will have more time to do resistance training. Also do ur resistance training first then cardio, this will maximize ur glycogen stores & fat burning. Resistance training is an additional & key to balance, incorporate dumbbells & free weights or hammer strength machines. break it down into 3 days chest & bicepts, shoulders & tricepts & legs & back.
