How often do you exercise?

I would call myself a beginner in relation to exercising.. I try to get to 2 boot camp sessions per week, which are 45 mins of working out. At this point, this is my primary exercise (other than daily chores to care for horses). Coming into summer, I would like to incorporate some swimming once or twice a week, depending on how hot it gets for boot camp (I am a wimp with the heat, and will swap a swim session for bootcamp if it's too hot).

I have access to a cross trainer, an oval for jogging, and plan on getting a boxing bag in the next month.. My aim is to be fit and healthy (and to lose weight!).. I'm not training to run a marathon :)

What would be a good workout outline? One of each? I like to be organized for my exercise or I wont fit it in! :willy_nilly:
 
OP,
You're off to a good start. Ideally you'd want to do your bootcamp (or some other total body resistance exercise) three non-consecutive days per week. For example, Mon., Wed., and Fri. And the days between bootcamps would be perfect for more cardio or low impact focused workouts like swimming and boxing. You can take a day for "active rest" if you want to, where you don't schedule a workout, but you do something active (like hiking). So to continue with the example, your week could look like:

Mon.: Bootcamp
Tues.: Swimming
Wed.: Bootcamp
Thurs.: Boxing
Fri.: Bootcamp
Sat.: Swimming or boxing (alternate each week)
Sun.: Active rest- hiking, yoga, bicycle riding...you get the idea.
