 |
|
| I currently do 90 minutes of intense cycling on my stationary bike and a further 30 mins of toning exercises (squats, lunges etc) at night, but I notice a few have suggested weight training... which involved buying weights and finding out exactly how to do the damn thing.I have a few questions. 1) how much exercise should I do per day to keep my weight down? (ie-am I doing too much?) 2)What is the best combination of exercise to lose weight or keep weight down? 3) What exercises should I avoid if I do not want to build up muscle weight? |

| 90 minutes of intense cycling is TOO MUCH unless you're planning on being a cylcist..so to answer your questions:1) 30-45 minutes of cardiovascular 3-4 times a week, that's all!2) Squats/lunges, anything that works several muscles at once.3) Diet diet diet!Anything super intense will build muscle weight. Like 90 minutes of cyling a day. You're doing too much, you can tone it down and be fine. |

| I would focus more on cardiovascular which it seems you are but with a combination of a good diet. If you do not want to build muscle then do not add additional weight into your workouts. |

| 1) Exercise enough to burn more calories than you take in2) Mix of 70 % Cardio 30% strength (weight or resitance)3) To avoid building too much muscle stay with lighter weights and higher repetions. |
