Cardio Energie

I have been told conflicting things about this.

The first one is no exercise whatsoever for 6 weeks.
The second was you can do walking & light cardio (on a treadmill or cross trainer) as early as a week after the birth but no abdominal exercises for 6 weeks because the muscles need to heal.

I would like to do some light cardio as long as it’s okay

Does it matter whether you do a bit of running, cross trainer, bike etc.

Or do you have to do set times on each machine, eg 1 hour on bike, 1 hour running.

How long after weighing 110 kg will i see results working out 7 days a week for 1 1/2 at a pace i can handle?

I’ve been doing 30-40 minutes, six days a week on a cross trainer for almost a year and been really pleased with the results. Legs, shoulders and arms have really toned-up and my cardio fitness is much better. I started using 1lb wrist weights and noticed an improvement pretty quickly. I have just got some 2.5lb weights and started using them, but I don’t want beefy arms, just toned arms. Will they be OK? I’m 49kg, 5′4″ and a pretty lean build.

I’m a 47 year old guy who has just started to go to the gym. Previously been reasonably fit (martial arts instructor and squash player) but have developed middle aged gut. I’m doing about 60 mins cardio (bike 2×20 and cross trainer 1 x 20), some powerplate (for abs and arms) and then doing chest and shoulder weights.

I want to lose my gut and build up my chest, shoulders and arms as I’ve always been conscious they are too puny.

I want to take the best mixture of supplements to support me. I used to take Cod Liver Oil and Glucosamine. I also tried some Hydroxycut which played havoc with my system.

So bearing in mind the workout I am doing three times per week, what do you think is the best supplement mix to be taking? I think Creatine will be a must but will happily take advice given.

yee is it like running machine >

instead of doing weights does anyone know if the swimming aspect will act just aswell on my upperbody strength and help me get fitter. i just usually did 3 sets of ten with some dumbells but i enjoy the pool better, i do my treadmill/cross trainer/rowing then hit the pool.

whats the difference between a cross trainer and an elliptical trainer??

what is better for the joints?
what works what muscles?? I need cardio exercise and want to tone up my lower body more.

Am thinking of getting one and don’t know which is best.
Thanks
Also thinking about a gravity strider - are these any good??
or a rowing machine?? are these any good? I went on one years ago and it didn’t seem to do anything for me - maybe I hadn’t set it right though

I have bought a cross trainer, mainly to lose weight and increase cardio levels. Can I use it every other day? It also has a bike. Can I use the cross trainer one day and the bike the next day?

I just wanna lose some fat and i heard cardio is good…so which machine should i get?I also heard that the cross trainer tones both ur lower and upper body while treadmill only does lower body

1 hour morning session 3 times a week. 30 mins cardio, mixture of cross trainer, treadmill, bike. 4 x 12-15 of lunges, squats, crunches, plank, push ups. 2 fourty five minute spinning classes.

This is my supposid plan for next five weeks before i go on hol, been doing it 2 weeks already. Do you think ill see a difference in my body in five weeks?

Im around 130lbs (9st 12lb) 5′5″
