LAST POST :) Girls who work out -

How many days a week do you work out? I have gone the last 2 and am sore today and the thought of working out again makes me cringe. How often do you go a week and for how long?

Amanda&Chris

Anywhere from 3-6 times a week.  Most weeks it is 4 or 5 times for about an hour each time.

You've got to push through the burn. That's how you get stronger.  I am in really good shape, as I've been working out hard for months, but my week looks like this:

M:  cross train
T: run 3-4 miles
W: run 7 miles
Th:  Run 3-4 miles
Friday Rest
Sat: run 5-7 miles
Sun: run 10-20 miles, depending on the week for marathon training.

 

BUT, when I worked out with a trainer post partum, I worked out 4 days a week.  HARD.  It's doable, you just have to challenge yourself.  That's how you get stronger!

I love the pain - it means I am doing something right

Not pg, 4-5 times a week, 45-60 min of cardio/running.

I usually work out M-F between 30-60 min depending on the schedule.

I work out everyday that I eat so that is 7 days a week.  I do 30 cardio, 30 pilates and 20 weights (working different parts so I don't over work a particular area).

i believe in giving your muscles a break - if you are strength training you need to give them a day off, either by training different areas on consecutive days or by not working out.  the day off is actually when you build strength - weight training creates tiny tears and the day off is when your muscles repair and get stronger.  you can do cardio every day.
