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

Okay, my question is if this is an appropriate schedule for my fitness routine:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday - strength training in all the main muscle groups.
Tuesday, Thursday - 1 hour of pilates
Monday thur Friday (and possibly on the weekends if I have the time) - Cardio (mainly treadmill)

Is this giving my body enough time to not stress it out? I don’t want to over tax myself or reach a point where I am working out too much to allow my muscle to build…?
monday THRU friday not monday thursday friday***

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

I do 40 mins of cardio (cross trainer and treadmill) and ten mins sit ups, how often a week should i be going to gym to get benifits? i need to lose a stone

The cross trainer I use works my legs very well. i have it set on a program that changes the levels if incline and resistance. Lowest incline 4 and lowest resistance is 15 (For the program I do) and the highest incline it goes to is 6 and the highest resistance is 20.

Should I not do the leg weight machines? I don’t want to overwork my legs and I use the cross trainer for cardio because I like ti better than the elliptical and treadmill.
I also do the bike when I go with my friend because she can’t do the cross trainer for 40min with me. I use that anywhere from level 6 to 10 I usually alternate it to make it like a hill. The hill program is crap on the bikes at the gym.

I am getting bored with the treadmill and recently injured my right foot, which is now healing. Are there any other machines I can use for cardio?
There is a particular cardio machine that has you holding two handles, one in the right hand and one in the left hand, attached to two ski like equipments(not sure if I am describing it well) that goes forward as you push each handle(I like it).

Any other machines please. I work out @ Bally Total Fitness.

treadmill,cross trainer,cycle ?

I am looking for in home equipment for cardio. I have never owned a piece of gym equipment. I am on a budget and definately don’t want a treadmill. I have quite a bit of weight to lose and am in my twenties. What would be good for me? An Elliptical, Stair Climber, what else? Also, what is a good brand to look for that is not overly expensive?

Hello, I would like to purchase something to use inside this winter to get my cardio done. I have a treadmill, I’m looking at the elliptical trainers as an alternative? Which would be better, one of those or a stationary bicycle? I am looking to get the most work out for the hour I do each morning.

Thanks to all in advance.
