Monday AM 30 min walk - PM 1:30-2:00 weightlifting+interval cardio
Tuesday AM 30 min walk - PM 20-30min light swim.
Wednesday AM 30 min walk - PM 1:30-2:00 weightlifting+interval cardio
Thursday AM 30 min walk - PM 20-30min light swim.
Friday AM 30 min walk - PM 1:30-2:00 weightlifting+interval cardio
Saturday Active rest
Sunday Active rest

This routine is for weight loss. All weightlifting sessions are FBWs.

Saturday and Sunday are just "simply keep active" days. No heavy workouts or any sort of cardio is done.

I have been doing FWB + Cardio for the past month or so now...maybe 2 months and I've been feeling tired lately. Don't know if it's because of the extreme boredom at work...but meh, after seeing one month of results I decided to kick it up to this.

Thoughts?

Oh and also...maybe I should have made another thread for this but I'll give it a shot...What kind of cardio could one do (outside the pool) to increase performance in the pool? I thought I was in decent shape until I went and tried to swim across the local pool last night, lol. GAH!

Thanks for your time.

:D

Looks like it's about an hour a day or less, 5 days per week, broken into 2-30 minute segments each day. I don't think that's too much.

Ask yourself this question: Are you working hard and challenging yourself in almost every workout? Are you seeing results??

Edit: Did I read it wrong? Are your pm sessions 1-2 hours long? Sorry, now I've confused myself!
 
Yes - PM sessions are 1 to 2 hours long.

Usualy about 45-50 mins of cardio and roughly 30-45 mins of lifting.

It's safe to say that I kick my own ass pretty hard on those weightlifting/cardio PM sessions.

Other than that the rest is a little less intense.

The question of what's "too much" is pretty individual. How do you feel? You say you've been tired lately--is that like a bored/tired or soemthing else?

My only real suggestion for you is that maybe 5 days in a row isn't perfect--perhaps if you skip Wednesday and go on one of your weekend days, you'd give your bod more of a chance to rest and recover.

If you're feeling all right, then I'd say keep going till it changes!
