Weekly schedule of body toning and cardio?

Question

I attend an interval class on Wednesday and Saturday that is cardio and total body strength training. Though the strength training isn't that intense. I know you should give you muscles time to recover, but I'm not sure what I should on do on the days I don't have class.

Answer 1

I was doing those type of classes, two a day and every Mon, Wed, and Fri. in between I lifted every Tues, Thurs, and Sat. I began to loose weight but that wasn't my goal, I was loosing muscle. After a month of this I began to loose energy for everyday activities. Now I lift 4 times a week and do an hour of cardio once a week and I am gaining the weight I want to. It is very important to let your body rest, if you feel that you aren't weightlifting enough you could switch to just a cardio class twice a week and lift on your own but I would recommend if your just beginning to limit the weights to three times a week. In the end you will just have to experiment and find the routine that allows your body to respond best to what you are looking to achieve.
