What's your exercise routine?

Bump for later
I do two to five miles with a video by Leslie Sansone daily M-F (35 to 75 min long... avg 45 min) and add an hour of weights and calisthenics 2-3 days a week. Saturdays I do various activities with my husband (walking, hiking,etc.) for at least an hour and Sunday is my off day from everything
I have only lost 17 lbs so far in 180 days, but I have lost a lot more inches. I have lost an average of one inch a month off my waist and dropped two sizes. I lose an average of 1/4 of an inch every month on hips and thighs.
wow, you've had amazing results !! maybe i should push myself to work out more than 4 days ... actually i have the time but i just feel so sore and achey !! but i guess no guts no glory
TY! I actually think my progress is slow compared to most others, but I have an "uphill battle" as my doctor lovingly puts it because of a couple of medical conditions I have. I eat a low carb/low sodium diet and drink 9+ cups of water daily too but do not deprive myself either. About being sore, I know what you mean! I am sore all the time (part from working out / mostly from Lupus). I do what I do because it works for me.
Everyone is different so do what works for you! Keep doing what you are doing if you like it., just continue to be consistent. Challenge, set and work up to fitness goals at your own pace. Never push yourself so hard you hurt yourself. It only puts you behind further because you will most likely have to nurse a hurt body. Keep up the good work0 -
I play 60 min of tennis 4 times/week, 7.5km brisk walk 5 times/week, hill training 3 times/week, heavy lifting every other day, and curling for 2 hours once a week. I will always take one full day off of rest.
you're a busy lady !! is 1 day of rest sufficient enough for you or do you workout despite the pain/soreness ?!?0 -
I work out 6 days a week, Sunday to Fri. I do the p90x workout, modified, meaning I don't follow their plan. and also do about 20-30 min on the elliptical.
I say it works so far LOL, lost a lil over 60 lbs in 6 months.
Dieting was a huge thing, cut down calorie intake to 1600 a day, high protein, low carbs.0 -

M- walk with bubs 45-60 min

W- HIIT with bubs in the stroller usually 1min on 1min of running then walking, will do this for about 45min

Im away from my gym room lol so i have to what i can do" back at home i have my weights/ tredmill, kettlebells, steps, various dvds, im gunna join a gym when we finish travelling oh i can not wait!!! i0 -
One day is enough for me. I'm one of those sickos who enjoys the soreness feeling. I love games like tennis and curling because it's fun and doesn't really feel like a workout to me even though it is. I've just started lifting in the last two weeks and am hoping to see some good results from that.0

I do ashtanga yoga 6 days a week (S-F, Saturdays are traditionally off) so that's about 75 minutes of practice a day on avergae (I don't always do full practice) and in addition I run 3-4 days per week. Right now I run 2 days in a row and then rest so eg. run T+W and again F+S. Runs vary in lenghth form about 7 to 12 K.0

hello there !! what is the difference with ashtanga yoga and regular yoga ??
Ashtanga vinyasa yoga is quite fast paced and energetic. If you've ever been to a vinyasa flow, power yoga or heated yoga class it will have been related to the ashtanga family. So depending on what yoga you normally do ashtanga yoga could be regular yoga.
I practice mysore style, which means that I self practice a preset sequence and the teacher supervises the group on an individual level. You can google ashtanga primary series to see the foundations of the practice0 -

I have a FitBit, so I walk over 10,000 steps a day. I try to hit 15k. I have a few walking routes around my neighbourhood. In the morning I walk 2.4 miles and I cycle 5.4 miles most days. I walk at night on a shorter route. Tuesdays and Thursdays I do an hour of Pilates at the gym, plus either treadmill or weight machines. Plus I like to do my own Pilates routine at home a few days a week of 20 minutes.
I just started swimming again yesterday, I only did 40 laps, but I hope to build up to what I was doing a couple of years ago, which was a mile.
I have lost 17 pounds since April and it is really hard going now I am older. My advice is to anyone out there: Try to lose weight before you hit menopause, because it will be a whole lot harder once you do. I lost 40 lbs 13 years ago and it pretty much fell off with less exercise than I am doing now.0 -
