    I do Stronglifts, so I lift 3 times a week for about 30 mins, HIIT 3 times a week for 20ish minutes, sometimes I'll need to relax and I'll go for long slow paced runs, and always at least a day off

    I work at 7:30 so I exercise at home. Occassionally I go to the gym for Turbokick (LOVE IT) in the evening.
    When I first started in June I just walked 30 mins outside. As the weather became more hot and humid, I moved to walking on my treadmill in my exercise room. Then, I started 30DS. Two weeks ago, I added walking after the 30DS (I need to get my good cholesterol up). Now my routine 5-6 days per week is:

    5:00-5:30 - 30DS using 3lb weights (just completed! - tomorrow I'll start Ripped in 30).
    5:30-6:00 - Walk on treadmill 3.5-3.7 mph.

    I think you are working extremely hard, which is great if you're used to it. It is important to get a good night's sleep also. Remember, slow and steady wins the race! Good luck!

    Monday - AM usually try to hit the gym and do about 30 to 45 minutes on the elliptical or similar machine and then 15 minutes of lifting. PM - 2 hours of roller derby practice

    Tuesday - Depending on how tired I am from derby, AM go to the gym and 30 minutes elliptical and about 20 minutes swimming. PM 2 hours of roller derby practice

    Wednesday - PM Been doing the hour long zumba class at my gym, I enjoy it cause I like to dance :)

    Thursday - Try to do 30 to 45 minutes of varied cardio and then lifting.

    Friday - 30 to 45 elliptical 20 minutes swimming

    Saturday - It varies - sometime I go to the gym, sometimes it's a walk/bike ride with the kiddos or one of the daytime classes at my gym. Sometimes it's a roller derby bout (which I have one this Saturday in Chicago and we are going to get our butts handed to us!!)

    Sunday REST

    I sometimes will take an extra rest day during the week depending on how tired I am. Today it's likely that I won't get to the gym and I'm okay with that too :)
  • I run everyday for 1.5 miles, unless there is a thunderstorm. My legs are a lot toner than before. I try to hit the gym twice a week for strength training.

    I agree with others who say you're doing too much. I think your new plan to workout 45 minutes at a time is much better.

    I currently run 2-3 times a week for 30 minutes. On the days in between, I do 20-30 minutes of strength exercises. I do everything at home in the mornings because I don't have time to go to the gym.
