holly1283

I'm age 62 and I swim a mile 3x a week and try to walk or ride bicycle on my other days. Having mental health issues so at present I'm not doing so well with food but the exercise is still intact.

Stage14

I'm 5'3, 29, and 160lbs (down from 172 since I started back on MfP in August).

I have tried a little bit of everything in the past: various classes, cardio machines, weight machines, free weights, dance workouts, videos like 30 Day Shred. Now, I have just started running and am back to lifting free weights, but focusing mostly on large compound lifts rather than splits and isolation. I lift 3 days a week and run (more walk/jog at this point) 3 days a week.

ClementineGeorg

I'm 25, 172 cm (5'7''), started here at 95 kg (210 lbs) and now I am 72ish kg (160 lbs).

I don't actually have a routine. I have multiple workout DVDs on my computer, ranging from Pillates, Tae Bo, Jillian Michaels, Biggest Looser series, dancing aerobics, strenght training (mostly Jari Love) etc. I tried various workouts and keep the ones that I didn't hate doing (and I'm not taliking on being hard; there are hard workouts I really love even if most times I can't finish them; I'm just talking of workouts I hate doing).
I just try to work out 2-3 hours a week.
I mostly do the workout in order, but I change them in function of my time and stamina. I mean... if I come home late and I had a bad day, I'm only gonna do 20 minutes of Pillates. If I have a free day, I make time for 45-60 minutes workouts.

It's a little chaotic, but I'm doing it. If I would have a exercise routine all scheduled up and all... I just got bored and hate the exercises.
For example I love 30Shred once in a while... but if I were to do it everyday a whole month... well... probably I wouldn't.

I don't look for being all sportsy and athletic. I'm just trying to incorporate a little workout to tone a little and stretch my muscles.

35, I do BodyPump (either a class or the dvd) twice a week, then walk every day at least one hour (sometimes 2). I started with easier programs though, but been roughly been working out/walking 30-60 minutes a day from month 2.

I'm starting the ChaLean extreme program soon though, for a change.

I exercise 5 days a week. At least two days I do the following: Quick warm up (treadmill 5-10 minutes brisk walk) then full body workout (either a routine from my trainer that incorporates lifting and bodyweight exercises, or a nautilus circuit depending on how I feel), the about 30 minutes of cardio (rowing, elliptical, running, etc.). Sunday, I have a session with my trainer and get a full body workout, then do a little cardio. The other two workout days I sometimes do just 40-45 minutes of cardio (generally running as I am training for a 10k), and sometimes I do a full routine like the other weekdays, depending on how I feel.

When I started getting fit, I mainly did home workouts using PS3 and Xbox 360 software that provided a mix of cardio and bodyweight exercises, plus some light weights. I eventually joined a gym and started the above routine.

Height 5'3", weight 62K, age 53.

My exercise week goes like this:

Mon - Home Yoga practise.
Tue - Home Yoga practise. Pulling calisthenics.
Wed - Yoga Class.
Thu - Home Yoga practise. Swim 1 mile.
Fri - Home Yoga practise. Cycle to work (16 miles total trip)
Sat - Yoga Class. Pulling calisthenics.
Sun - Home Yoga practise. Swim 1 mile or cycle club ride 20 miles.

My legs, core and pushing muscles get plenty of resistance work through the yoga, but I do include pulling calisthenics twice a week to ensure I am balancing pulling and pushing muscle groups.

My weekend swims often take me to the sea if it is calm enough or inland waters; safe rivers and lakes and quarries reclaimed for water leisure.

I have tried weight training but it doesn't "float my boat" - more interested in how I can handle my own bodyweight in challenging ways.

I'm 5'9", 185 lbs, and 35. I started weight lifting years ago with Bill Phillips "Body For Life" and fell in love. I kept with it for about a year, lost a bunch of weight, was stronger than ever before, and looked great at a muscular 160 lbs. I have also done yoga, lap swimming, Zumba, spinning, and group power. Zumba is great fun but I can't seem to commit to cardio for long term. I am not a cardio queen. I love weight lifting, yoga, and swimming but I am always looking for something new to try.

I have done Lou Schouler's "New Rules of Lifting for Women" and would recommend it to anyone new or experienced.

I am currently doing "The New Rules of Lifting for Abs" 2-3 days a week. This program focuses on core balance and balancing your muscle strength to avoid things like back pain. I love it so far and am really surprised how challenging some of the exercises are. One of them is the Swiss ball mountain climber, which is doing Mt. climber alternating legs with your hands on a big ball. The other is the plank with pull down, which is doing a plank while doing a pull down on a pulley. They are both really hard to do but that's why they are making me stronger. I can tell from week to week that I am stronger just from looking at those exercises alone.

I do a lot of walking at least 5 miles a day. I often drag my kids along with me for a short evening walk. It's good family time and gets us out of the house for free.
