When working out, how much time do you spend doing  cardio,  weightlifting?

For different days, I do different things.  If you do both cardio and weightlifting in one day, you are going to be dead tired, and you will have less motivation to work out.  Also, separating cardio and weightlifting in different days leads to better muscle growth.  What I do is alternate days between working out and cardio.  For working out, I generally stay at the gym for about one hour and 45 minutes, but for beginners and intermediate exercisers, I suggest around 45 minutes to an hour.  For cardio, I generally do around 45 minutes, with 20 minutes on the treadmill and 20 minutes on the bike (5 minutes for stretching).  I would suggest around 25 minutes for beginners (10 each for treadmill and bike).  Give yourself a day or two of rest each week, and vary your weightlifting schedule (e.g. do biceps/shoulders/back one day, triceps/chest/abs another day and legs some other day).

Building more muscle mass through free weights will burn more calories in the long run because Cardio only burns during the event and briefly after wards, but lean muscle tissue burns calories all the time. There is no standard rate of calorie "burn" for cardio since there are so many ways to do cardio. Sprinting burns more calories than jogging, but you can't sprint for an hour. If you want to maximize the weight loss effects of cardio you should keep your sessions around 40 to 60 minutes and work harder during that time using interval training.

If your just weight-lifting you will have a hard time getting that layer of fat off. What you need to do is at least 45-60 minutes of cardio per day to burn the fat off. "spot training" wont take the fat off from specific areas, you need to reduce the fat from your whole body!

You need to do strength training 2 to 3 times a week and any kind of cardio is ok, 4-5 times a week of about 20 to 30 minutes.  It does not have to be running.  I'm not sure what you mean by heavy cardio and whatever it is, I don't think it's bad for men.  \n\nwww.SanAntonioFitnessExpert.com\nwww.CarlosTorres.10DaysofChocolate.com

No, every other day is good, your muscles need at least 24 hours between workouts to rebuild.  What I like to do is upper body one day and lower body on the off days, this way you can workout everyday if you want, then give everything a break and just do cardio once a week.

It would be good cardio.  Anywhere from 45 min. to an hour is a good amount of time. The type of exercise you do depends on what type of results you are looking for.

High Intensity Interval Training also speeds up the metabolism.  Its a type of cardio exercise where you sprint for 30 seconds, followed by 60 seconds of light jogging.   Repeeat bout 10-15 times.  Recent studies are showing that this is far more effective at burning calories post workout than any other method.

It sure is. Anything that increases your heart-rate is considered a good cardio workout. Just remember that a cardio workout should be no less than 20 minutes.

you should strength train 3 days a week, alternate the days to give your muscles a day of rest.  Cardio can be done everyday.  On the day you strength train do cardo after.  The muscles are warm and the cardio will seem easier.  I would only do the punching bag on the days I lift for shoulders, back, chest, and arms.   You must give the muscles a day of rest to gain muscle.

I workout. I turn on the ipod and get on the elliptical trainer for about 30 or 45 minutes. I'm in my own world when i am working out. I tune everything else out. It clears my mind.

20 minutes is a nice cardio workout, but if you want to build muscle, no. For example, I do bench press three sets about five times. Than I would do bicep workouts, three sets, five reps. And finally, I do forearm workouts. And your supposed to have at least two minute rest between reps.  Remember, less reps, more weight builds muscle mass; while less weight, more reps builds muscle endurance.

For most people, 48 hours is enough time. It also depends on your workout. If you are doing very intense weight lifting, you may need to take longer for recovery. \n\nThe key is to learn to listen to your body. If progress starts to drop off, you may need to take more time off between workouts. If you are still sore from your last workout, you are not fully recovered yet.

cardio is good, but if you dont add weight training and such, you basically go from being a large pear to a small one (not to imply anything - just a visual). you have to shape the muscles too.  squats are great, add straight leg dead lifts (where you essentially reach down without bending your legs and pick up the bar) mule kicks (just slowly kick out back ward, raise your heal to the ceiling) quad extensions (where you sit in a chair with the bar across your shins and slowly kick forward) and try jumping rope.  don't neglect the rest of your body, even though you have a target.  the fat will come off faster if your whole body is involved. try whole body exersizes, like the clean and snatch (sounds bad. its an Olympic movement) and twisting lunges.  very your cardio up - do running, then bicycling, then kickboxing - just to keep it interesting. also, do wind sprints.  the burn MONSTER calories. (go to a track or football field.  pick a distance and time a sprint{after warming up}  for example, i do forty yard sprints, ten yard walk, forty sprint, ten walk, turn around.  by sprint 5, im killing myself to get the same time i got on sprint 1. so i do six, then rest for five minutes, then again, 4 times.  holy cow, it kills me. do that once, and only once, a week.) i will send a link to crossfit - great work outs, a forum to post progress and get help and encouragement (its all free) its a great deal.  works fast.  GOOD LUCK!!  and PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY!!

Weight lifting isn't usually aerobic (unless you're doing circuit training).  You can be completely covered with muscles and have a low body fat percentage and still not be healthy because your heart and lungs don't get challenged by lifting weights.  Cardio makes your heart and lungs stronger and gives you more endurance.
