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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 days

    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!
