Hi everyone

I tend to do more classes and swimming than gym work at the moment, but am looking to get back into it and was just wondering what routine you have. Do you focus mainly on CV work or weight training or do you combine them both?

Thanks

Bella :)
 
mix of both. weights to keep my muscles strong, cardio to burn fat making them visible :)

mon- combat, gym
tues- attack, gym
weds- attack, combat, gym
fri- attack
sat- attack, combat, pump, gym
sun- combat, spinning, pump, gym

general gym use is mainly hand weights and treadmill :)
i walk it to the gym on tues/fri/sat and sunday aswell
i have my own hand weights at home, they are 10kg each... cant do so many reps with them yet
 
Gina, you are the gym queen! How do you manage it everyday and weekends are jam packed! I admire your commitment. I usually just stick to the cross trainer and free weights at the gym, but want to mix it up a bit more and am considering getting a programme done so I have something to work towards. xx
 
i have too much free time, no man in my life to make time to visit, just loads of me time :)
 
Lol, I don't have a man in my life either yet I still manage not to exercise! You are my inspiration! :) :) xx
 
Gina,

What is Combat? I've seen it on the timetable at my gym, but haven't ever done the class! xx
 
copied from the les mills site:
BODYCOMBAT™ is the empowering cardio workout where you are totally unleashed. This fiercely energetic program is inspired by martial arts and draws from a wide array of disciplines such as karate, boxing, taekwondo, tai chi and muay thai. Supported by driving music and powerful role model instructors, you strike, punch, kick and kata your way through calories to superior cardio fitness. Like all the LES MILLS™ programs, a new BODYCOMBAT™ class is produced every three months with new music and choreography.

its brilliant, alot prefer this to body attack becuase its not as hard while still being high impact depending how much you put in :D
 
Brilliant, thanks honey. Think I'll give that a go! :) Xx
 
the moves are quite simple, id highly reccomend it :D
 
I do Zumba 3 times a week,try to get a good walk in 3 times a week (my pedometer dosen't seem to be working properly so I'm thinking of getting a hrm instead) and starting hores riding again this week.

I think I'll have a chat with my Zumba instructor as she teaches body combat as well..Not sure I'm brave enough..
 
oooooh, go for it little sis! I haven't tried Combat yet but it sounds like a really good CV workout to do so think I'll give it a go next week. I <3 Zumba, it's so much fun! :)
 
go for it little sis, you'll love it :D
 
Totally agree with Gina - have a go at Combat - totally good fun and moves are not difficult. Very good for de-stressing and I love the music too.
 
Have booked in to try it on Saturday so will let you know how I get on! :) xx
 
fab :D i even have my own special combat shorts that ill only wear for combat, they are mens and quite big on the legs- im only little and most men are 6ft at least, so you can imagine how much longer they are on me :p
 
Joined the gym yesterday and my first day was great. I went on the treadmill, cross trainer and biker - the sweat was pouring off. Did some weights at home :)
 
Well done, Michelle, that's great. Keep it up! Xx

I only joined the gym 3 weeks ago! Just finished my 3rd week :D
I got 3 personal trainer sessions with my membership and it was awesome. I told her I gain weight very easily and she said it's because I don't have enough muscle! So thanks to her i've been trying classes like Body Pump (which is awesome!).

I go the gym atleast 3 times a week about 5 hours in total. I try to do a class that will get my heart pumping and a class that will build muscle and the rest of my time I spend on the cross trainer, trendmill or rower (not so much on the rower lol) yesterday was my 4th time at the gym this week and after my first Pump class thursday I could barely move my arms! lol. So I decided to just do an hour 1/2 on the trendmill.

I'm loving the gym :D
