  • Split your workouts into smaller workouts throughout the day.
  • Make the time. People who workout don't have more time than people who don't. They've just practiced making exercise a priority. Scheduling your workouts and treating them like any other appointment you wouldn't miss may help you stick to your program.
  • Do all those things you know you should be doing: take the stairs, walk more, stop driving around looking for that front row parking space, etc.

  • Take a few minutes here and there for some stair-climbing or speed walking.
  • Pay someone to make you exercise. Finding a good personal trainer can make a difference when it comes to motivation and reaching your goals.
  • Do something...anything. If you think 5 minutes isn't enough time to workout, you couldn't be more wrong. Whether it's 5 minutes, 10 minutes or 60 minutes, every single minute counts.
  • Keep in mind that doing too much cardio is a no-no as well and can actually backfire. There is a point of diminishing returns, so keep it reasonable (3-6 days a week, depending on your fitness level), vary your intensityf and don't forget to take rest days when needed.

How Much Weightlifting & How Much Cardio Exercise? | LIVESTRONG.COM - 0 views

  • The amount of weightlifting and the amount of cardiovascular exercise you perform depend entirely upon your goals. If you plan on competing in a weightlifting competition or running a marathon, your training will need to be tailored accordingly. If your goal is to build strength and power while improving your overall health, your training demands can be less specific and less intensive.
  • Weightlifting training is unlike recreational lifting or bodybuilding in that you train to improve on two lifts. You will spend the majority of your training time practicing the two lifts, variations of the lifts, and then some simple assistance work such as barbell squats.
  • If you wish to make significant progress, increase both the intensity and the duration of your exercise, whether it is rowing, running, jumping rope, or swimming. And if you wish to improve at a specific activity, you need to train for that activity. While running will help your cardiovascular conditioning, it does not mean that it will make you a strong swimmer.

  • While it is technically possible to train for a marathon and weightlifting competition at the same time, it is doubtful you will do well at either one, and run the risk of injury secondary to over-training. If your goal is general strength and conditioning, a few weightlifting training sessions a week and cardiovascular exercise on your off days will improve strength, power and health. If you wish to do well at one activity, you need to specialize. If you go for a limit run the day before a weightlifting meet, you are going to be too tired and sore to lift very much. If you snatch and clean heavy the night before a race, you are going to be stiff, sore and slow, so only you can determine how much of each.

    Exercise and athletic training allow you to grow because of controlled stress to your body. When exercise is too frequent and intense, or you neglect recovery, overtraining syndrome occurs. When overtrained, your body can no longer recover from exercise-induced stress as easily, leading to poor performance and fatigue. To recover from overtraining, take a break, get some quality rest and eat a healthy diet. Stop training for a period of time. The required duration of rest depends on how long you have been overtraining. According to Dr. Mark Jenkins of Rice University, overtraining for a few weeks can be corrected by taking three to five days off. More severe overtraining may require a few weeks of rest for you to recover fully.

    Quickness is genetically determined to a degree, but proper training can greatly increase quickness. Drills geared for pure quickness development should last 6-8 seconds. Training for quickness endurance could be longer in duration. The placement of quickness drills in training varies. Athletes are faced with a multitude of different situations when performing; therefore placement of quickness drills varies accordingly.
