What's your exercise routine?

Mine is sporadic. I am helping to raise my 3 year old grandson and I don't have much time to myself. I get up at 5 and get ready for work and usually by the time I get home, I am tending to him until bedtime. Sometimes he lets me get some exercise in. I am seriously contemplating getting up at 4 or 4:30 so I can exercise, but then I worry about being even MORE tired than I already am. Decisions, decisions.

Take him with you on walks in the evenings, or get a membership to gym that has a babysitting service. With kids you can't "find" the time, you have to make it.

I like mixing up my workouts and doing challenges. This month I'm doing JM's Ripped in 30 4 - 5 days per week which throws off my usual routine. Typically I:

Lift: M, W & F - A Bodypump type class one day a week and lift heavy for 2 sessions.

Walking: I power walk briskly outdoors for about 3 miles. Also I use Leslie Sansone's videos (2 - 6 miles depending) 4 - 5 days per week for my cardio.

Pilates: I have a Pilates machine at home I use 3 - 4 times per week for stretching and to keep me limber and flexible.

Misc: I love throwing in a YouTube video for variety. I mainly use Jessica Smith, Cassey Ho, Fitness Blender and FitSugar workouts.

I bike commute pretty much everyday. I filled the gas tank in my car 6 weeks ago and it's still full! I like to do long rides for fun, too.
I also take a yoga class twice a week.
I lift weights 2-4 times a week, depending. Some heavy compound lifts and some circuit training.
I try to do 2 HIIT workouts a week, usually sprints. Sometimes I'll do an Insanity dvd instead of a HIIT workout.

I do my 4 mile at 4miles an hour (timed) everyday except Sunday and then 3 times a week I do a zumba class or PUSH mow the front yard. Then I have hand weighs that I do at night watching the tellie. AND situps/crunches during the commercials. In all I put in 2 hours a day so that I can have 1000 to 1200 calories burned every other day and 400 in between days. Seems to work for me but you will have to find what works for you.

Currently, I am alternating R.I.P.P.E.D. classes with Spinning, Pilates and Yoga. I like them all, but, R.I.P.P.E.D. is definitely my favorite.

sijomial

3 days cardio, 3 days strength, 1 day rest.

Cardio is typically one session Spinning, one mixed session (run, row, elliptical etc.), one long cycle outdoors.
Strength workouts are mainly in a circuit training style with a mix of free-weights, machines and bodyweight exercises depending on mood and availability of equipment.
