Calisthenics??

[nicole1011]

Question: should I be doing calisthenics (puch ups, squats, crunches, etc.) as well as what I already do (200 minutes of cardio a week and 100 minutes of weight machines) or would that be too much. Is that something to add after a longer period of time of working out? Please help.
