Doing 30 minutes cardio with Nordic Track ski walker and Weight Training in between.?
Greetings fitness buffs. I am on a steady road to loosing a hundred pounds. For the last two months I’ve being doing 30 minutes of cardio workouts on my Nordic Track ski excerciser (which involves both lower and upper body) daily at least 5 days a week.
I recently joined a gym. One day I work out upper body, the next I do lower. I find myself too sore to do the Nordic Track for at least 2 days after weight training. I start to cramp up. So I do 45 minuites of brisk walking instead. My goal is to gain a ‘moderate ammount’ of muscle mass to tone and loose weight. Will weight training only twice a week along with cardio on off days still provide any benefit? I want to do something I will stick with. I see myself burning out if I work out the same muscle groups 3 days a week with weight training. Any thoughts?
Do you want to ski harder, longer, without fatigue with legs that won’t quit?

Yeah you defffinitely don’t need to workout muscle groups 3 days a week, especially if they make you that sore. It sound like you’ve got a really good plan though.
I use MapMyRun to draw a map of my runs on google maps, then add in my weight, age, sex and the time it took me to run it. You can save each map of your runs and then clock your times and see your progress over time on graphs for your speed aswell as the automatically calcuated calories burned ( since you should be focusing on your diet aswell). The site keeps a calendar of your workouts aswell as your daily weight (buy a digital scale and weigh yourself daily) and graphs all results.
You really dont need to focus on pushing yourself so hard that you can’t move for 2 days. You will get sick of it, you need to focus on making this your new lifestyle. Id recommend mmaybe working out 2 sets of muscle groups (a)bicepts, shoulders, quads (b)tricepts, chest, calves 2 times a week at the very most. You may want to start out only once, don’t push youself to hard. Cardio and a low calorie diet will really help you out most to begin with.

Greetings come out of the closet !! You closet Queen
Hello…Congratulations on your weight loss. Here is what I would recommend…Weight train your upper body on Monday and Thursday, your lower body on Tuesday and Friday, and do aerobic activity every day of the week (after your weight training). The soreness you speak about is most likely from the fact that you just began weight training. If you continue to weight train and, most importantly, stretch the muscles that are sore, you will eventually find that you are no longer sore after weight training. To keep from burning out just switch the weight training exercises you do about every month (there are many from which to choose for every body part). Keep up the good work!
Congrats on getting started.
My former personal training clients benefitted from alternating days of cardio and weights. Cardion on Monday, Wednesday,and Friday; Weights on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. This cycle will probably give you the best opportunity not to wait for equipment at the gym. It will also help keep you ready for your next workout and should lessen the soreness levels.
