I am trying to see if I am on the right track as far as exercise is concerned. I walk/jog 3 miles a day six days a week. outdoors which takes me an hour with hills and things. I am losing weekly with walking the three miles, probably 3lbs a week. I am now under 298 lbs hoping to keep losing consistently. I found some kettle bell exercises and dumb bell moves for strength training how often should I incorporate the Strength training?

Really want to know what you guys are doing to lose weight and maintain the weight loss.

I break my exercise up. I am exercising more than an hour a day in 30-45 minute blocks, morning and evening. This is just the cardio part, and that is 6-7 days a week

I am trying to build muscle so I can burn more calories. I lift heavy with low reps, 3 days a week. I haven't got to the point of being able to say if it is working or not yet, too new, and it takes a while to build muscle.

I am still having difficulty walking any distance so I do most of my exercise in the pool. 1-2 hours deep-water water aerobics/calisthenics/weights most days (weather permitting).

The running coaches at the local pro running shop told me to jog every other day, not every day, especially since I have some arthritis in my knee and hip. Here's my exercise routine from the past week, it's pretty standard:

Today: 48 minutes jogging

Yesterday: 40 minutes circuit training (mixed weights/shadow boxing/aerobics - Kelly Coffey-Meyer Circuit Burn dvd)

Wednesday: one hour jogging

Tuesday: 25 minutes low impact HIIT (Cathe Friedrich Ripped with HIIT dvd)

Monday: 50 minutes jogging

Sunday: 20 minutes HIIT (Cathe Friedrich All Out Low Impact HIIT dvd) + 40 minutes weights (Leslie Sansone 30 Day Firm dvd)

Saturday: one hour jogging

Run 2 x a week (4 miles and then 10 miles) ,

Spin class 60 min 2 x a week it also has an arms weight section as part of the class that I do

Strength training (p90x3, Insanity Max, T25 dvds) 2x a week

Yoga once a week.
