Comments on: What I Do To Stay In Shape http://www.bodyincredible.com/what-i-do-to-stay-in-shape/ Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:16:22 +0000 hourly 1 By: Kat http://www.bodyincredible.com/what-i-do-to-stay-in-shape/comment-page-1/#comment-6714 Kat Sat, 22 Jan 2011 02:35:19 +0000 http://www.bodyincredible.com/?p=260#comment-6714 Hi Jodie, That is a pretty old post, I probably should update it! You're right of course, its so much harder to fit in crazy amounts of exercise with a bub ... Truth be told, these days I do SO much less. I train weights 3-4 times a week for about 45 minutes, and I follow a low rep, heavy weight split body program. Once a week I do a circuit though. I do zero cardio now unless its a hill climb or something outdoors with a friend, and even thats rare. I go to Bikram every Sunday, and sometimes make it during the week in the middle of a working day ... If I were you I'd focus mainly on weights. Full body is good, but lately I'm more of a fan of split body if you're willing to work hard. Thats the way to more lean muscle and a strong metabolism! I hope that helps, And thanks for your comments on my blog! Don't you just love Sarah Wilson?! Kat Hi Jodie,

I used to be a "cardio queen" but in the last 6 months have cut down somewhat, still do 1 or 2 spin classes and some interval runs every week though. I like your take on cardio and can see the logic behind it, just finding it hard to take the final step and cut out the spin all together. I really liked this post on whatyou do to stay in shape, but I'm just wondering do you still do this much yoga now you've had a bub? I love Bikram but the only studio near me does not have a creche so that rules that out. I've only got 45 minutes in the morning every day to workout, including warm up and cool down. I'm just struggling with how to do weights every day, given that you're not meant to work the same body parts on consectutive days and functional fitness often involves the whole body..... Sorry this is a very rambling comment..... I am ready to take the next step of dropping all cardio, just not sure what and how to replace it with I suppose - would really appreciate your thoughts.
