JosieAppleHead 74 Posted September 4, 2015 I am trying to see if I am on the right track as far as exercise is concerned. I walk/jog 3 miles a day six days a week. outdoors which takes me an hour with hills and things. I am losing weekly with walking the three miles, probably 3lbs a week. I am now under 298 lbs hoping to keep losing consistently. I found some kettle bell exercises and dumb bell moves for strength training how often should I incorporate the Strength training? Really want to know what you guys are doing to lose weight and maintain the weight loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted September 4, 2015 I break my exercise up. I am exercising more than an hour a day in 30-45 minute blocks, morning and evening. This is just the cardio part, and that is 6-7 days a week I am trying to build muscle so I can burn more calories. I lift heavy with low reps, 3 days a week. I haven't got to the point of being able to say if it is working or not yet, too new, and it takes a while to build muscle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted September 4, 2015 I am still having difficulty walking any distance so I do most of my exercise in the pool. 1-2 hours deep-water Water aerobics/calisthenics/weights most days (weather permitting). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted September 4, 2015 The running coaches at the local pro running shop told me to jog every other day, not every day, especially since I have some arthritis in my knee and hip. Here's my exercise routine from the past week, it's pretty standard: Today: 48 minutes jogging Yesterday: 40 minutes circuit training (mixed weights/shadow boxing/aerobics - Kelly Coffey-Meyer Circuit Burn dvd) Wednesday: one hour jogging Tuesday: 25 minutes low impact HIIT (Cathe Friedrich Ripped with HIIT dvd) Monday: 50 minutes jogging Sunday: 20 minutes HIIT (Cathe Friedrich All Out Low Impact HIIT dvd) + 40 minutes weights (Leslie Sansone 30 Day Firm dvd) Saturday: one hour jogging Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
