    Monday: Chest and Triceps
    Tuesday: Legs
    Wednesdays: Shoulders
    Thursdays: Ab/Core
    Friday: Back and Biceps
    Saturday: Rest Day
    Sunday: Rest Day/ Extra Cardio

    Everyday except Tuesday and Rest days I run anywhere between 1-2 miles. Sundays if I do cardio its just because I went over on calories for the week or am attending an event the next week that I know I'll need the extra calories to splurge.

    5 am: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 60 minutes cardio (Elliptical, rowing -new challenge, or Cybex Arc Trainer)
    Wednesday, Rest or Cardio (dependant on ability to sleep after Tuesday night exercise - mentioned further below)

    Also Monday thru Friday - 30 - 40 minutes of walking to/from train and work

    Tuesday Night: Water aerobics: 45 minutes (friend teaches class, so I feel guilty to skip it)

    and Sat/Sun - REST.

    Only way to squeeze exercise in with a 40 hour work-week for me is to start early. More often than not if I make an after work plan to exercise I will lose interest to do it by the time it hits 5 pm.

    I try to do four Fitness Blender workouts each week. What day and what workout depends on what I feel like doing at the beginning of the week. I try to get in at least one upper body strength training workout, one lower body workout and one HIIT cardio each week. The fourth day depends on what order I did the others in. I also occasionally run as my cardio, but I'm waiting for the humidity to go away before getting back into that. That's more of a weekend thing.

    I'm cutting right now, so taking it light on weight lifting volume. Still making strength gains, so I figure I must be doing OK for now.

    I'm doing Wendler's 5/3/1 4-day split, Boring But Big variation, dropped the accessory work so I'm just hitting the major lifts heavy for the 5/3/1 sets, then light for 5x10.

    Also doing Hal Higdon's beginner half-marathon training - shifted the days some so rest days for running are leg days for lifting. Not anticipating signing up for any races - just using it to steadily progress without doing anything too dumb. I'm on the 3rd week and feeling good so far.

    M: squat workout
    T: bench workout + short run (3 miles)
    W: long run (>= 6 miles)
    R: deadlift workout
    F: ohp workout + medium run (3-5 miles)
    S: medium run (3-5 miles)
    S: medium run (3-5 miles)
