I am really starting to see a difference, too. For Caroline, I am sure that weight training counts towards it. I think it includes all types of exercise.

(I alternate different body areas each day on the weights, so I'm not doing a full circuit in one day. For example: biceps/triceps on Monday, back/chest Tuesday, etc.) Wondering if that 50 minutes the ACSM refers to needs to be all cardio, or if my weight training counts as part of it?

I've been trying for 200 minutes per week. With warmer weather approaching, maybe it will be easier to add some more minutes. Shoot. I’ve been trying for 200 minutes per week.
