Help with a workout routine...?!
Question:
Help with a workout routine...?
I had 3 babies in 3 yrs, and really have stretch out my belly. I have the extra pooch and all that fun stuff. Anyway, I have been eating right, supplementing right...and my next step was to join a gym. Which I did. But now I am a little lost. I am not an exercise person. My thoughts were I was going to walk the track and go on the treadmill to start. But, I don't know why my goals should be. Like how many times around the track? (11 times around is 1 mile). And what about the treadmill? Walk, uphill? Mix it up? How long? Should I alternate days--walk the track one day, do the treadmill the next? I need help. I have about 15-20 more lbs to lose.
Answers:
I would go to the gym 2/3 times a week and do this routine:
1) 5 min warm up on any piece of cardio equipment (not to hard just a warm up) 2) 8mins on Treadmill running (at a good pace) 3) 16 mins on say the crosstrainer. 4) 8 mins rowing. 5) 16 mins on the bike.
6) 5 min cool down on any piece of cardio equipment.
7) Ab exercises on the mat 100 crunches in 20 sets and rest and another 100.
This exercise works for me because It never gets boring as just running will.
