With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I know you hate cardio machines, but if you get yourself a good MP3 player, hit the stationary bicycle for some cardio training. It is easy on the knees and if you liked running before, you know that you get into a zone when you do it. Well cycling has that same effect. If you end up liking it, carry it out to a roadbike and find some local trails, it is a fantastic feeling. -------------- Bettia Life is all about timing... the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable... attainable.

I've had to totally revamp my workout schedule due to an injury (Dr. orders), schedules, new gym classes, etc. Let me know if this looks like it could be effective. I'm open to suggestions. I'm not supposed to lift or do cardio more than 3 times a week UNLESS it's in the water. I really hate machine cardio, and jogging is painful, so I stick with the aerobics and kickboxing. Keep in mind, I don't count the Yoga as exercise (I know it is, but it doesn't count). It's how I meditate and relax, so it maybe shouldn't even be on here. Oh, my 3 days of weights are following my FT workout I was given with a few leg modifications. Let me know how this looks? I've been racking my brian on this since I had such a good routine down before. :( Monday: Lunch 45 min slow-moderate walk with work walking club 5:00 - 5:45 Water Aerobics Class (pretty mild class) Weights after water aerobics Yoga before bed (25 mins) Tuesday AM 45 mins aerobics at home before work Yoga before bed (25 mins) Wednesday 45 min moderate-slow walk with work walking club 5:00 - 5:45 Water Aerobics Class (pretty mild class) Weights after water aerobics Yoga before bed (25 mins) Thursday AM Kickboxing & Aerobics (45 mins) before work Yoga before bed (25 mins) Friday AM High Int. circuit Aerobics w/ step (45 mins) before work Lunch - 45 min moderate-slow walk with work walking club Yoga before bed (25 mins) Saturday 8:00 - 8:45 am Water Aerobics Class (mild class) Weights Yoga before bed (25 mins) Sunday Yoga before bed (25 mins)

So, I do what it has spelled out, except for a few modifications on the leg exercises due to my knee. Let me know if you need more specifics.

They give a killer cardio workout. -------------- Bettia Life is all about timing... the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable... attainable.
