Cardio Question

[noriduffee]

When you are doing a cardio workout (IMax2 or LowMax for example), is it enough to do one of the premixes or do you have to do the video in its entirety?

Just curious---have been working out for awhile and always wondered if the 30-45 minutes a few times a week + strength training is enough

Thanks in advance!

I use the pre-mixes often. I just don't have an hour every day.

Just yest. I did 30 min. of Imax2. I skipped interval 3 - I just can't get that one.

What I do is try to get in 20 - 30 min. of cardio during the week and on the weekends, schedule my longer cardio and stength workouts.
If I can get in longer cardio during the week, I consider it a bonus.

It seems to be working for me.

same here! I try to do one hour cardio a day. However when I know i am short on time I will do 1/2 hour of cardio + 15 minutes of weight training...

Just getting out there and doing something is enough on those days were you know there is no time!

Good luck!

It depends on what you want to accomplish. 30/40 minutes is perfect for health. If you want to lose weight, you might want to up the cardio. If you're happy with your weight loss and your routine - heck why change it?

I agree with Christine. It depends on your goals. For health and weight maintenance, then 35-40 minutes of cardio a day plus weight training is great!

do you do cardio and weight training everyday - my goals for cardio are health based and to maintain weight. My weight training goals are strength and definition. I work out 5 sometimes six days a week.
I usually alternate cardio one day. weight work the next. Is this okay or do I need to do both everyday?
Time is a factor, never more than 45 - 60 minutes weekdays. Can go 90 on the weekend.

Hoping you can clear this up for me.

Thanks
