What does your work out schedule look like?

Just curious if all of you are gym-goers for your main source of physical activity or not.
Right now I'm slowly getting in to running, and going to try and pick up recreational tennis.
I've considered picking up pole dancing as well, but haven't committed yet.
At the moment my goal is to work out 2-3 times a week, which isn't much I know, but I'll slowly increase it. Figuring out a schedule that works for me is key.

I like to run and bike but I also follow this weekly home workout schedule. Each session is 30 minutes each:
Monday: Plyometrics
Tuesday: Upper body weights
Wednesday: Pilates/Yoga/Piyo
Thursday: Lower body weights
Friday: Cardio with weights
Saturday: Full body weights
Sunday: Pilates/Yoga/Piyo
I have a friend that does the pole fitness and loves it. I also have friends that swear that Zumba is the best. You just have to find activities that you enjoy and you'll want to do often.0 -
Saturday _ body combat
Sunday _ body combat
Monday body combat
Tuesday rest
Wednesday zumba
Thursday body combst
Friday rest lol0 -
I run 3 x a week, and need to add in some strength training and yoga but I'm lazy!0

No gyms.
Wake up, pee, weigh, feed cat, take pill, swim. Shower, eat, walk to store, walk home. Every day (if it doesn't rain.)
It's my routine. It's what I do. Sometimes there is more, but there is always that.

Running running running and more running seems to be my routine right now (5-6 days a week). Followed up with lots of walking. And stronglifts 5X5 2-3 times a week.
Having my fitbit synced to mfp really encourages one to get out there and do stupid amounts of running and walking, plus I'm getting ready for my tough mudder (half marathon obstacle course) is about 3 weeks time.0 -
I am a varied creature.
In the nice months ( April to September) I no longer do any structured work, functional fitness is my way of life.
In the winter; aqua fit and nerdfitness are my staples, but I also throw in the never ending swimming lessons, I so badly want to but can't coordinate, women on weights, Zumba, belly dancing, core fitness and stability, and a few rounds of hand weights in the gym.
My main goals are to stay mobile, well balanced, and strong, without it taking over my life.
Cheers, h.0 -
I have a dog so walk morning and evening around my 8-5 job. I downloaded map my walk so it syncs to MFP. I want to do a workout a week but can't bear to miss what little Sun is left at the end of the day so have decided to start this in a couple of months.
But I'm feeling a bit lazy now I've read what some of you are doing!0 -

Mon/Thurs- leg day, abs, and 45 mins of cardio
Tues/Fri- arm day, and 45 mins of cardio
Wed/Saturday- rest day. Always keep the sabbath.
I'm usually at the gym for 2 hours on my workout days. I don't throw the weights around or swing them wildly. I focus on technique and form.0 -
I walk (briskly of course) or hike as much as I can ... it usually ends up being about 20-25 km/week.
I cycle as much as I can. This varies widely.
And I throw in a few other things now and then. I've been sea kayaking and snowshoeing in the last couple months.0 -
I'm sick right now so haven't done much lately. But I was swimming, circuit training, doing some strength training and some weights. Also a bit of the elliptical.0

Tuesday: 40m elliptical, 20m rower, 30m weight machines

Weekday mornings: yoga
Tuesday/Thursday: a 3-4.5 mile walk, depending on if I have other plans for the day
Wednesday/Friday/Sunday: SL 5x5
Then I want to do some HIIT on either Mondays or Saturdays, but they both tend to end up as rest days0 -
I don't have a schedule, but I need one! The Y offers various classes that I decide to participate in, but something always gets in the way. Usually, I walk my dog a mile or two a day, get two or three miles on the treadmill, and maybe some on my stationary bike. If I would put the classes on my schedule, maybe it would get done!0

Monday, Wednesday, Friday: walk 10,000 steps, swim 1.25 miles, water aerobics class. One long walk in the morning, pool time is late afternoon
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday: walk 15,000 steps (approx 7 miles). often I do one long walk in the morning and one shorter walk in the afternoon unless my hiking club has a hike scheduled that I want to go on (Tuesday night and Saturday), then I adjust my neighborhood walks accordingly.
Sunday: rest if I need it, otherwise I walk but I don't have a specific goal. hiking club schedules hikes on Sundays too so I may or may not go on one.0 -
Sunday-Thursday 15k steps a day at work, cleaning, bending, lifting, walking while wearing a plastic jumpsuit, face mask and shield double pair of gloves and shoe covers. Linda like my own portable sauna....
Sunday Tuesday and Thursday martial arts (aikido) class from 7-9 PM.
Friday Saturday 2-3 hours trimming hooves and/or horseback riding.0 -
I work out with a trainer two days per week. On Saturdays I take a "Burn" class (think aerobics class on triple steroids) with a gym trainer. Another day each week, I take a "Strength" class with a gym trainer that uses dumbbells and kettle bells to strengthen and tone. During the week, I try to walk 3 miles on 5-6 days. Except for Saturday, the other activities rotate depending on when my training sessions are.0

I've done a lot of different things... Beachbody programs and walking on off days mostly. Or walking/running with weights every other day. I typically don't take rest days unless my legs are really starting to hurt (like today) because I need the break (I'm a SAHM and an introvert, so I need some 'me' time and I'd rather go for a walk than go shopping).
Lately I've been going to the gym pretty much every day walking at an incline for an hour (pretty steep one day, then less steep the next to rest my legs some) and doing weights at home 3x a week. When the kids go back to school I'll probably start Les Mills Combat again (on DVD at home) and walk or bike (stationary bike) on days off, like I did last year. Sometimes I walk an extra 3 miles during the day too once it starts being nice outside and the kids are at school.
The key is to find a schedule that's doable for you long term.0 -
Monday - 5K AM/weight room PM
Tuesday - cycle (climbing/hill work)
Wednesday cycle AM (flats - easy pace)/weight room PM
Thursday - cycle (race tempo flats)
Friday - Rest
Saturday - cycle to gym and lift and cycle home
Sunday - long ride and/or group ride
It's not set in stone though...you have to be flexible...like my ride tomorrow is going to be a family ride to the zoo which is 15 miles each way...so I get in some miles and get to spend some time with my family walking around the zoo...but this rather than a dedicated training ride.
Sometimes I swap rest days...sometimes I take more than one rest day...you have to be flexible.
I would encourage you to set some fitness goals that are independent of weight management, etc and allow those goals to dictate your fitness regimen.0 -
Monday - 5k (treadmill) - bosu ball squats - 2 hours doubles tennis (team practice)
Tuesday - Weights (squat rack and over head press) bosu ball squats - 2 hours doubles tennis (club night)
Wednesday 5k (treadmill) - bosu ball squats / russian twists
Thursday - 2 hours tennis doubles and singles
Friday - rest
Saturday 5k treadmill - bosu ball squats.
Sunday - Weights (squat rack and over head press) bosu ball squats

Currently half way through the couch to 10k programme.0 -
Run three days a week and sign up for a run every couple months. Yoga Friday after work. A power (group lifting) or Zumba class sometimes midweek. Hubby and I often take a walk to our Tim Horton's on the weekend (forty minute round trip). There are stretches I'm supposed to do daily but I've let that slide.0
