OK, I work out five times a week M-F and sometimes on the weekends. This is my routine:
Monday/Wednesday/Friday:
Elliptical: 3.5-5 mph, heart rate between 140-170, for 40 minutes.
Weights for 10-15 minutes
Tuesday/Thursday:
Stationary bike: 40 minutes, level 5, heart rate 115-130
Weights for 10-15 minutes
I'm going to change it up soon by doing every week day with the elliptical and weights, because my heart rate is a bit slower while on the stationary bike (even though I am at the "target heart rate" that the machines say I need to be at). I figure I'll do the elliptical for a while until I reach a plateau then change it up with changing the cardio machines.
Now, the machines say my target heart rate is between 117-123, but I just don't feel like I've worked out or sweated enough. Which is why I'm going to have my heart rate between 140-170.
Here are my stats:
Age: 33
Sex: Female
Weight: 180 (lost two pounds between 9/1 and 9/13 YAY)
Target weight: 140ish.
