I will try to push myself to the limit and not overdo. The lots of exercise for fall is only until late spring or early summer when the weather around here heats up and it is difficult for me to do anything without overheating and passing out. it is something i am going to have to keep an eye on when i step up my exercise too. I keep a big water bottle of cool water nearby and slow down when i feel it happening. Then come next fall i will get back to the lar...http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlSun, 06 Jul 2008 17:57:53 +0000http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmli"d done a similar routine Joanne, i.e., the 2 hrs cardio then strength training when i first began trying to change my body. During , i felt like I would die, but afterwards I had so much energy! i was like invincible. I've slowed down considerably.. only about an 1hr and a half of total exercise a day and I must admit, i felt so much better when i was crazed w/exercise.......http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlSun, 06 Jul 2008 15:49:27 +0000http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlListen to your body. I agree with pushing yourself to new levels, but be careful. You don't want to overreach or overtrain. There can be adverse side effects from too much exercise. It is difficult to get there, but believe me, I have been there. I was running 5 to 10 miles daily. I had to take a month off from all training just to recover and start feeling better. If you notice a heightened resting heart rate, depressive symptoms, irritability, daily fatigue, "dead legs", etc ...http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlSun, 06 Jul 2008 14:35:18 +0000http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlPush yourself to the limit. I've been playing soccer on Saturdays for the past two months and it left me absolutely destroyed afterwards. I was also playing pickup games in the park but they're in a small area and don't require much running. Past two weeks I added a 1hr+ session of me kicking the ball against a wall and running around chasing it. So this Saturday finally I did soccer and I was actually capable of doing things after the game. It's not s.w.a.t. training but I t...http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlSun, 06 Jul 2008 12:10:09 +0000http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlThing is when i am exercising i don't think i can do anymore. afterwards i feel like i can do tons more which is why sometimes if i can pull it off i do an extra cardio(this was before i started the new 3 mile wlk away the pounds routine i am now on) then an hour long yoga routine(the slow and steady one not power yoga). I want to up my cardio to about two hours a day for fall with one hour regular aerobic in the a.m. and one hour more intense like turbo jam at night, 3-4 days of strength...http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlSat, 05 Jul 2008 22:20:58 +0000http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlI do 2 hour martial arts workouts 3 hours a week and I can do nothing for the rest of the day. I can run 7 miles and feel the same way. Its good to test yourself by going until you have to stop, and seeing how you feel 2 hours later. Are you cold and shaky? probably did a little too much, Still feel like going? do more next time. My personal max for exercise is 2 hour long workouts a day, 1 weight and 1 cardio. or, running 7 miles, or, 2 hours of hard martial arts. I could walk all ...http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlSat, 05 Jul 2008 18:48:37 +0000http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlI agree with what Josephine said. You don't really have to listen to your body, it'll yell at you when enough is enough. I can do cardio forever and will only be tired during the duration doing it: 20min later, I feel like I never hopped on a treadmill. I do not know how long you should do weigh training for, it depends on the intensity and body parts being used. I stay at the gym for 2hrs, rotating body parts as to not sore out one, then move to the next. I have been building muscle ...http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlFri, 04 Jul 2008 21:13:29 +0000http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlIt's been my experience, that my body will tell me how much is too much. The problem is making sure that you listen. I think with a very low impact activity such as walking, going for a stroll, you can have at it as much as you please. More intense activity, stuff that really gets your heart rate up and puts some real stress on your body, I think that can vary widely. There are athletes out there that often train for 4hrs or so a day, not a huge deal. There are people out there for who...http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlFri, 04 Jul 2008 20:23:25 +0000http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlI asked this question before but never really got an answer. How much is too much exercise what is the maximum cardio and strength training a person can do in a day (or as the case with muscle exercise every other day) if they aren't in training for something(other than trying to lose a large amount of weight) and don't wan't to over do exercise body wise? Would two hours of cardio a day (over the full day, not at one time) be too much? How much strength training can you do ...http://www.traineo.com/11_6205_0.htmlFri, 04 Jul 2008 17:54:25 +0000
