[quote=Anonymous]I work out 3-4x/week

I do 5 minutes of light cardio to warm up (usually elliptical, sometimes bike)

About 45 minutes of weight training - I do 2-3 from each category

lower body - lunges, squats, step ups, straight legged deadlifts, single leg deadlifts, calf raises, abductor/adductor machine

chest/back - bent over row, bent over rear fly, lateral pulldown, chest press, assisted pullups, hyperextensions

upper body - shoulder press, bicep curl, tricep pulldown, tricep dips

core - plank, leg lifts, oblique twist

I do 3 sets of 10-12, with the heaviest weight I can manage. I sometimes superset too (1 set exercise A, 1 set exercise B - repeat 3x, no breaks)

Once every week or 2 I get really ambitious and run sprints after that. But I really hate it.

I think weight training for women is grossly undervalued. Cardio burns calories, but does nothing for building muscle - which is what will give you an awesome, toned, shapely figure. Weight training literally reshapes your body, and is so SO good for your health!

I also fit in yoga when I can, but that's rare - I would love to do yoga 1-2x/week but it's usually more like 1-2x/month[/quote]
