At this point, I'm training to lose body fat and once I'm roughly the weight I'm meant to be at, I plan on putting more focus on heavier weights and strength training to build muscle. This is on advice from my naturopath so you might be able to do both at the same time!
I've been doing high intensity interval training (HIIT) for the past year about three times a week for an hour with group outdoor training and I usually scatter in walks, Body Balance or other stuff that I usually do with a girlfriend. The HIIT is usually a cardio/toning circuit or kickboxing and my trainer tries to incorporate lots of bodyweight exercises as well as low-weight, high-rep dumbbell moves.
I'm a really crap runner, mainly because I get a tight chest and can't breathe steadily (actually, it's a really common reaction to adrenalin like when you feel shocked or about to cry...). But I'm working on the running and my technique has improved ten-fold.
From late February, I'll be kicking off netball again which I ditched for a couple of years because of expensive fees/me being in a different country for much of the season/various other not-very-good reasons. I play centre court positions so that's a 1.5hr training session plus a 1hr game each week.
Am also picking up a couple of new hobbies hopefully which are active but I don't want to spoil the surprise of those just yet! Stay tuned, they're a little left of centre :)
To summarise:
2 or 3 days a week: 1 x HIIT sesh
3 days a week: 45min brisk walk
1 day a week: Other high intensity workout (like Nike Training Club iPhone app, or bodyrock.tv)
This might change when netball and "hobbies" roll around so stay tuned!
