You truly have to like it to stay with it. Do you like swimming. if you do that might work out better for you. try doing some classes you might enjoy them better. most gyms offer classe****ti and tabata are very good classes to look into. a lot of people like zumba. if the instructor is good they can show you different moves that you can do if you can't do what they are doing. good luck
good luck with the race. sometimes it is nice to do the short distance.
thanks i need it was suppose to do long run today and did not get it in due to the fact i was at emergency with my husband through the night until 12 noon. it is not going to be a pretty race for me. going on experience
Thank you for your reply. I feel we need both though and I really would appreciate anyone who has a routine that uses both but the minimum needed to stay healthy.
Starting Tuesday I think I'm going to start a run streak. At least 2 miles everyday, which shouldn't be too hard since the only days I don't run are Mondays and Fridays.
Monday-rest
Tuesday-6 mile run and body weight routine
Wednesday-5 mile run
Thursday-6 mile run and body weight routine
Friday-2 mile run
Saturday-Quesadilla 5k race. Never raced a 5k before. Should be interesting.
Sunday-14 mile trail run

The best exercise is one you enjoy. No amount of gym time will work if you hate going because eventually you'll stop. Experiment with lots of workout routines and types of exercises, then stick to the ones you like. I hate lifting weights, so I don't do it. I love to run, so I do that.

Hi,
My husband and I want to start an exercise program that includes strength training ( I guess you call it ) and aerobic training. We will be doing this at a gym on machines and the recumbent bike. We both have back and knee issues .
The personal trainers mostly want to give you info on body building . We have been told do 1 set of 12 reps twice a week to 3 sets of 15 reps 3 times a week . Also on the aerobic part , 30 mins a day everyday to just 3 times a week.
We hate exercise . That being said we are committed to changing our lifestyle.
What we want is the least amount of time to stay healthy , a routine to do for the rest of our life but we don't want to be gym rats.
If someone would tell us how long to spend a week at the gym and break it up into how much time on weights and how much time on the bike it will be much appreciated.
It is going to be hard to put the time to it but know it will be worth it.
Thank you,
Lynn
