Q: What do i do for excersize?
Hi Shawna! Thanks for your comments!
I go to the
gym 4 - 5times a week for an hour to 2 depending on the day and my mood.
Here is a run down of what I do at the
gym.
45
Cardio - 1 hour
cardio
( 15 min tredmill, 15 min crossramp, 15 min stairs )
I alternate between different intensitys, resistance, and inclines. I try and aim for 450 - 500 calorie burn during that 45 minutes and a
heart rate high in the '
cardio zone' about 70 - 90 % of my maximum
heart rate.
20 - 40 Minutes weight training or
abs.
Alternating back and forth I do 20 - 40 minutes with
weights or
pilates/ ab work outs.
I have a 14 machines that I use regularly in my weight training. I do one set of 8 - 12 reps. I increase my
weights by 5 % weekly or bi weekly. If it gets to easy to complete a whole set I raise it up.
When I do
abs/
pilates I use tools such as medicine balls, and resistance bands to make it more challenging. I will do a variety of ab excersizes in one ab work out but repeat them in order doing 12 reps of each and usually 3 sets of each but alternating.
Hope that made sense....
If you are wondering about my
diet I try and aim for 1500 clean
calories a day ( I avoid as much as possible) packaged foods and try and eat foods as close to their natural state as possible.
Hitting a bit of a pleatue right now but instead of give up I am going to push threw it! Increasing my
cardio a couple minutes, enjoying 15 minute sauna to sweat out the
stress and I am also trying to drink 3 cups of green tea to boost my matabloism and my
energy!
Well I am off to the
gym it is officialy 5PM which means its quitting time!
Have a good evening.
Amanda
