Well, I'm just starting out exercising again. BUT it's great to have this to shoot for!
I do 15 mins on bike trainer straight every other day and on the weight day I do 15 mins stretches/dance/hoola hoop, etc. So the 5 min hoola hoop will now be counted! And I will try to sneak in stuff throughout the day. Not sure WHAT I'll do the week I'm away? I guess I'll be doing a ton of walking...but I know it won't be on schedule with holidays and such...but I can def. do walking!
Hmm...now to figure out my short-term goals...with the long-term goal 200 cardio mins per week, thanks to you Jenny!
I love goals!
Btw, if you have any cardio ideas for mini-stretches throughout the day (you might not since you said you like to do it in blocks?) bring em' on!

makes muscle mass that burns more calories and if you do it like DH you burn tons of calories and sweat like a pig! So it is good to squeeze in too.

I would never say not to do the weight lifting! However, studies have shown that three times a week is no more effective than 2. So I just do that stuff twice, and focus the other four days on cardio.
As far as short term metabolism pick up- cardio revs up your metabolism more than weight lifting for the immediate 4 hours after you do it.
