What do some of your weekly workout schedules look like, cardio and strength training? how many times a week do you work on your abs/legs/arms? & what do you do ?

    Mine is a bit haphazard to be honest.
    I try to get to the gym at least 4 times a week for an hour - 90 minutes of cardio and in with that I usually do ten minutes free weights to remind my muscles I need them.
    Sometimes I go more often, sometimes less.
    I am going to start incorporating swimming into my week now as a) I'm bored with the gym and b) I think my body is getting used to the same routines.
    Good Luck with yours!

    I don't seperate body parts, I don't feel it is necessary since I weight train every other day.. I do 30 minutes elliptical in the morning mon,weds,fri...followed by situps. Then on tues thurs (and sometimes saturday-if i am not running all day) i will do 10-15 minutes elliptical followed by 25 minutes of strength training. I basically rotate through the machines at the gym (both arms and legs). Also probably 2-3 days out of the week i do something in the evening for fun (skating,play basketball with bf, or walk my dogs) Things like that just to use up some calories :) I hope I helped a little.

    I do power 90 with Tony Horton.

    One day is cardio/abs and the next day is strength training. You alternate each day from cardio & sculpting in which you do 6 days a week. I usually do couch 2 5k a couple of times a week as well.

    In the sculpting dvd, you do a lot of different movements with dumbbells or resistance bands in which work various arm muscles, shoulders, legs, etc. :smile:

    Hope this helps! :flowerforyou:

    I work around 13 hours a day and have a 3 hour roundtrip commute, so I try to get workouts in whenever I can. I wake up at 4:30am and either do 30 Day Shred or 20 minutes on the my elliptical. I keep a stability ball and small weights at work, and every hour or two I try to do a set or two of 15 crunches with weight or some other toning execise (something that wouldn't look too weird if someone walked in).

    I play volleyball competetively 3 times a week. On the other 4 days, I alternate legs and arms for an hour after a 10-20 minute warm up on the bike or treadmill. I always end with an intense round of ab work.

    Legs: Hitting as many muscle groups as possible (even shins and calves - don't forget the hips too - butt seems easy but I sometimes forget about the hips),

    Arms: Boxing punches (variety), light weights with 20 reps, working down to 12 reps during the set. I go througha circuit of weights then start the circuit again working down to 12 reps - flys, military press, arm raises (straight), arm curls, triceps, bench press.

    This is what I do from what my trainer has put on the plan!
