[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work out 5-6 days a week in the morning. I do 30-45 minutes of cardio (walking, jogging, or elliptical) 3-4 days a week and 30 minutes of strength training 2 days a week. [b]I have weight to lose[/b] and want to add a second workout a few evenings a week after my kids are in bed. I’m limited to my home workout equipment because I need to stay at the house while they’re sleeping so can’t, for example, join a swim club or take a live class at a gym.  We have an elliptical, treadmill, and set of weighted bars and kettle bells.

What would be a good second session to add a few evenings a week? I figured that just walking briskly on the treadmill for 20 or 30 minutes might have good benefits. I know not to double up on strength training the same day or even back to back. My only concern is I’m prone to tendinitis on the top of one foot from too much cardio in a row so need to be a little cautious about that. My only other nonstarter is I hate yoga, lol. would welcome your suggestions.[/quote]

If your main goal is to lose weight then stop thinking that you need to exercise more. Your time will be better spend weighting and measuring food, meal prepping and really honing in on your diet. Calorie burned from exercise are not nearly as many as we want to believe.

Exercise for health.

Diet for fat loss. [/quote]
