I'm advanced in my training...22yr old female...goes to the gym 5-6 days per week, cardio 4-5 per week, and 3-4 days with weights....new routines, any, will be of some help getting back into the swing of things

Answer 1

Check out the website listed below for work out routines and the such. But for here I will say, keep it fun and energetic.
I alternate my cardio activities; meamning I go swimming on one day, biking on another and play tennis or raquet ball the next time.
On the days I dont do cardio I follow a good work out plan for each muscle that I target that day.
Following these kinds of routine will be most help ful and I have some work out routines and advice on this page

Answer 2

I would not suggest circuits (especially if you are advanced.. this is usually only a good option for beginners). I know it is getting cold outside, but running is the best cardio you can do. You burn more than 1000 calories an hour! If you can afford it I would suggest joining either Gold's Gym or Bally Total Fitness. These are great gyms and the personal trainers are awesome! I especially loved Gold's Gym because they have a separate room for women.. when you become comfortable you can move into the regular gym where the guys and girls work out together (but I am assuming this is probably not an issue for you). Also, a personal trainer (which is a little extra) can give you advice that no one else can. They can design a program that is right for you.

Answer 4

Try, cycling, or swimming to mix it up. Try going for a run on the open road, or at the beach (sand makes for a totally different exercise.)

Answer 5

Do Each Of The Following Moves For One Mintue:

RUN IN PLACE - kick heels up to buttocks
JUMPING JACKS
HEEL DIGS - press heel out in front of you and hop to switch feet
BURPEES - standing place hands on floor and jump feet back into pushup position and then jump feet back towards hands and stand up (that completes one burpee)
SPEED SKATER - leap to the right bring left leg slightly behind you and you reach towards the floor and then leap to the left bringing right leg slightly behind while reach towards the floor
CROSS COUNTRY SKI - stand with legs together and jump up landing with right leg in front and left leg back then jump again switching feet in the air
DOWNHILL SKI - feet together jump to right and then the left and stay low in a little bit of a squat position
HIGH KNEES - run in place brining knees into the chest as much as you can
SQUAT THRUST - kinda like a burpee but when you come up jump
POWER JACKS - like a jumping jack but when your feet go wide go down into a squat and when jumping back with feet together do two hops
JUMP ROPE - real or pretend
SQUAT JUMPS - in a squat position jump up and land in squat position
QUICK FEET - standing with feet wide run in place as fast as you can (think football)
SQUAT W/ FRONT KICK - feet close together squat and come up and kick with the left then squat again and come up and kick the right and keep alternating
SHUFFLE W/ KNEE - shuffle three times to the left and on the third one lift your right knee and then shuffle three times to the right lifting your left knee on the third one

do each move one after the other with out a rest inbetween and you'll get an excellent cardio workout - If you want a longer workout walk in place 3-5 minutes and then do the whole circuit again and repeat as many times as you feel up to it.

Also, you could alternate one cardio move with one strength training move such as squats, lunges, pushups.
