I need some advice. I have basically been doing fun workouts for the last 6 weeks with 1-2 rest days every week. I am in stuck a holding pattern. I am delighted to discover that maintenance is this easy for me, but maintenance is not where I want to be right now. I think I need more cardio and more challenging weight training, but how much? This is what I have been doing for the last few weeks:
rest day
Kick, Punch, & Crunch
Boot Camp
Rhythmic Step
Supersets (VHS version with just one set of everything)
rest day
Step, Jump, & Pump
It is time to change my Thursday workout to something more challenging like Muscle Endurance. Any other suggestions? I want to get ready for the new workouts Cathe is filming and encourage fat loss at the same time. How many cardio workouts a week? How many total body weight training workouts a week? How many circuit training workouts a week? I have most of Cathe’s non-dated workouts. I am willing and able to give up one of the rest days. One rest day a week works for me most of the time.
By the way, my eating is consistently clean. No overeating or emotional eating either. I definitely feel that the exercise part of the equation is what needs a change.
Aquajock, I am interested in suggestions for water workouts if you read this. I have access to a wonderful saltwater pool at the club. I am paying for a membership, so I really need to start using it! I usually jog in the pool, but I am open to suggestions. I am trying to figure out a good way to keep my weight moving in the right direction without spending 2 hours a day working out. Would adding water training to my routine again be beneficial in your opinion? I can only handle so much impact at my size, and the water is very soothing and joint-friendly.
Blessings,
Heather B.
