For this weeks of my series of getting healthy, I'll be sharing with you my typical workout. It does vary really. Sometimes I play a game with myself on the cardio machines. But I always, always at least get in 40 -60 minutes in for the day. Always. The first cardio machine I head to would be the treadmill. You can find what I do here for my treadmill work outs. I do try to run on the treadmill for up to an hour but I tend to get bored. I'll either head for the elliptical or the stationary bike to finish the rest of the my goal time.
The gym I attend is Planet Fitness, and they have a great circuit training section. It includes stair stepping for adding cardio, and weight machines. I love the circuit training. Cardio and weight training for a half hour. It really seems to go a lot faster then you think. When it comes to time, I always at least do 30 minutes of hard cardio and then their circuit training.
On my long days, 45-90 minutes of cardio, and weight training. You should concentrate on a certain group of muscles like legs, arms, abs, you get the picture. What ever machines are there around you, target the muscles you want to work on, and do 3 sets of 8/10. I hope this helps you get an idea of what your wanting to do at the gym. Happy working out!
Thanks for visiting!

Go for it, sister! It's always a wise choice to give time for fitness everyday. 45 to 90 minutes is a lot but as long as you're happy and not worn out, that's good. :) I do my own circuit routine for 30 minutes only + 10-min ab workout. I love it! My heartbeat always goes through the roof in a shorter amount of time.
