No wonder Oprah lost all that weight! Look at her workout plan:
Cardiovascular Workouts
Six mornings a week: Forty-five minutes of aerobic exercise, including at least two of the following: power walking on a graded treadmill (up to 10 percent), jogging, elliptical exercise, stair-stepping or rowing.
Four or five evenings a week (before dinner): A 20-minute workout using one of the above exercises. These sessions gave Oprah a chance to reflect on her progress toward her goals.
Once a week: On a day with no strength training, Oprah replaced her usual aerobic exercise with a 75-minute run.
Strength Training
Four or five times a week: Thirty to 40 minutes of strength training, usually two days in a row, followed by a day off. Oprah preferred to train before her aerobic workout. Her warm-up: a 15-minute power walk.
Abdominal work
Every Day
Incline crunches: Three sets of 30 at three increasingly difficult inclines.
Stretching
After every workout, Oprah did stretches for her whole body, although 80 percent of them focused on her legs.
