At the moment I'm doing a sport-specific conditioning program that looks a bit like this
Mon - Sprints session
Tues - Weights
Wed - Stair running HIIT and training
Thurs - Weights and social sport
Fri - Longer interval running
Sat - Sprint swiming session
Sun - Rest
At the moment I consider myself fit but aim on being super fit by new years0 -
Don't know if I'm super fit, but I'm better than I was!
A good week is as follows:
M - AM: Strength, PM: 40min Walk
T - 3-5km run
W - AM: Strength, PM: 40min Walk
T - 3-5km run
F - Strength
Weekends are my days off. I'm generally doing something, but it's not planned exercise.
And sometimes I don't get all the runs or walks in, but that's ok. I always do the strength training.0 -
10k run, 3 times a week at gym. 6 hour hillwalk on a Sunday.0

Sun: rest
Mon: Chest
Tues: Legs + Abs + 5k walk training
Wed: rest
Thur: Shoulders + 5k walk training
Fri: Back + Abs
Sat: Arms + 5k walk training0 -

3x CrossFit
2x yoga
2-3x cardio machines for 20-40 minutes
2-3 x weights
2x swim for 45 to 60 min.
I was doing pole fitness but my studio just closed so I've been doing machines because I'm trying to figure out what else to do in the mean time. In the summer I back off the weights and cardio machines and do more hiking.0 -

Crossfit doesn't count as "weights" for you? @_@ /death0 -
When I am not having a shoulder injury like now, it looks like:
Monday: StrongLifts (barbell lifting)
Tuesday: Krav Maga (martial arts)
Wednesday: StrongLifts or a run or a rest day depending on how I feel
Thursday: Krav Maga
Friday: StrongLifts
Weekend: Run (5k) if I didn't on Wednesday.
I'd say that I'm fit and strong.0 -
Yes, I consider myself to be pretty fit but always looking to improve and shatter PRs.
Right now:
Monday - EZ 30 minute cycle in the AM or lunch; lifting in the PM
Tuesday - 45 minute cycle in the AM or lunch
Wednesday - 60 minute cycle in the AM or lunch
Thursday - 30 - 60 minute walk @ lunch; lifting PM
Friday - Rest
Saturday - AM lifting session; cross train cardio (usually stair stepper...sometimes row machine...in the summer I swim)
Sunday - 60 - 90 minute cycle
As I get into February I will ramp up my cycling in order to prepare for my 1/2 Century ride. Mostly my Sunday rides will get longer and I'll probably back down on Mondays to an EZ 20 minutes to recover from the longer rides on Sunday. Right now I'm just trying to maintain my endurance base and focusing on the weight room mostly.0 -

LOL no i love weights. I can't get enough. i was a lifter before i got into CF so I can't complete give up my routine and go into the more random programming of CF. and yes, i consider myself reasonably fit...more so than any of my friends my age but less than a competitive runner or athlete or half of the people at my CF box.0 -
It's hard for me to accept, but yeah, relative to my age group it appears I am now actually pretty fit.
Anyway, here's a typical week for me:
2x running 5k-10k
2x cycling 25k-40k
1x running sprints/hills
2x body weight or free weights (compound lifts)
2x swimming 2000m0 -
Hand bike machine 3-5 days a week 1 hour each day. I also play Sledge Hockey once a week.0

When I look at the fit people, I don't think I am one. But I do move my body quite a bit. I have asthma so this does affect my perception.
I run 6 days a week. I try for 30-35 miles but in winter I often only manage 23 (I often have to push my 3 yo in the jogger on runs and this isn't always safe in winter so I have to cut miles sometimes). My long runs are somewhere between 10 an 16 miles.
I do body weight strength training for 30 mins, 4 times a week.
I fit in yoga and stretching for another hour or 2 each week.
So about 7 or 8 hours a week of official exercise a week.
And I don't have a car so I walk bare minimum to get where I need to go, 25 miles per week, but often 30 or more. But I don't track this as exercise.0 -
Wow! You all exercise sooo much! I walk 4 to 5 days a week, hour or two at a brisk pace. I throw some push ups and planks in for good measure. I do something active on the weekends with family. An hour hike or a day snowboarding. I was thinking I exercise too much because it is hard to fit in with my work schedule. You guys make me look lazy!0

I wouldn't say I'm fit at all..but I'm working on it :P I've slacked this month but here's my routine:
(My workout routine for strength training is a modified GVT 10x10)
Monday: C25K and Lower Calisthenics
Tuesday: Press/Pull Work-A and Light Cardio
Wednesday: C25K and Upper/Mid Calisthenics
Thursday: Press/Pull-B Work and Light Cardio
Friday: Leg Work and Light Cardio
Saturday/Sunday: Cardio or/and Yoga
Cardio lasts between 30-60min and strength/resistance training sessions are between 30-90min.
I also try to get in 1-2 walks (about 20-30min each) every day for the dog. :bigsmile:0 -
Every day: walk or bike 2-10 miles for transportation
Tue/Thur Zumba class
M, W strength circuit focused on back and hip rehab (assisted pull-up, rows, planks, glute bridges, hip thrusters) short run w/dog
Sat fun bodyweight circuit at the park (handstands, lunge walks, bridges, burpees, monkey bars, inverted rows, etc.)
Sun hike or long bike ride, or swim
I consider myself fit enough to do all of the fun things I want to do. I'm pretty strong and confident enough to try almost anything new as long as it won't hurt my back. I could improve my well-being by adding more more mobility, swimming and stretching. It's hard to make myself do those.0 -
Cardio 6x a week
Strength 3x a week
My cardio consists of beachbody programs: Insanity, Focus T25, Chalean Extreme. I also incorporate zumba in my cardio 3x a week.
My strength consists of kettlebell workouts0
