I am still trying to go to gym
You really have a good exercise plan.

I'm trying to figure out how much and what type of exercise to do. I do the following - treadmill - I do lots of different programs, from intervals where I sprint and walk, to walking hills, etc. I do that for an hour. Indoor cycling - I have the peloton app and I believe I'm ready for the 45 minute class, weights - we just got this pulley/weight machine, I need to learn how to use it, free weights, golfing, hiking in the local park.

I know the key is to mix it up a lot. I just don't know what is ideal. How many times a week should we do cardio, how many times for weights?

Amy it depends on your own body- I have always heard 3 to 5 days of cardio for weight loss and 2 to 3 days of weights, but everyone is different and needs to find their own pattern that works for them.
