How Often do you do weights?

Question

Ok so for a while now I have been wondering if I am doing too much of weights a week.
I do work outs at home, and I do Jari Love's weight workouts, I alternate 3 of them, so I do them each once a week--that is 3 times a week I do them...and they are an hour long. I do some cardio before each one (30 min) and on my off days I do 45-60 min of just pure cardio (kickboxing or step, or hi/lo)
I usually only take 1 day off a week- now I do not need to lose weight, I am in good shape--I mean I am just trying to maintain--I am 5'7 and I weigh 120. Now my question is, do I need to be doing this much to maintain? I do not diet either, I love food! So that is one reason why I workout 6 days a week.
Any feedback is much appreciated! Also, I am an advanced exerciser, if that helps. I do a lot of jumping with the step too, which I know you should only do a couple times a week, because it is bad on the joints.

Answer 1

You may want to schedule in another rest day so that you do not burn yourself out and over train. Other than that, what you do is obviously working.

I only workout 3 days per week to maintain less than 5% body fat year round. And I am in my 40's. Then again, I watch my nutrition.

Here is a link to a sample workout if you want to throw in some variety.

Answer 2

I do weight lifting, agility, and cardio work 3 times a week. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I maintain my weight very easily with this. I'm 6'0, 200 pounds. My legs are solid muscle and my arms are getting there. You get my point.

Answer 3

with all that cardio and weights your doing, you should be just fine if you kicked it down to 3 or 4 days a week.
