    strength training/free weights: 2x or 3x week
    running 3 or 4 nights a week
    Spin class on Mon or Tues

    somehow I get at least one "rest day" in there every week...

    Walking: 4-6 times per week (15-45 mins)
    Elliptical: 5-7 times per week (45-60 mins)
    Target/Strength training - not much. I don't get too do this too often but I'm fixing to start incorporating into my days.

    I've snuck in some crunches/obliques ever so often but not as often as I should. :blushing:

    These all seem pretty awesome.

    I just need more ideas of what kind of strength I should be doing!

    strength 3x week
    cardio/abs 3x week
    rest 1 day (this is my hardest day mentally)
    i work hard enough during strength training to at least equal my calorie expenditure on my cardio days (according to my HRM)

    Wednesday and Friday 30 min with Trainer, and 45 to 60 min of cardio, then 4 other days, a mix of cardio, usually switch off between treadmill (a c25k program) or the elliptical machine. This week I started using the stair climber (great workout and I need to build up my endurance on it as its my trainers favorite torture machine :grumble: )

    Currently following a P90X/Insanity hybrid schedule, but it pretty much looks like strength training [P90X routines] on Days 1, 3, and 5 with cardio [Insanity] on Days 2, 4, and 6. Day 7 is rest or Yoga X.

    Weight training every morning - I do a 5 day split weight training- a different muscle group each day, monday back, tuesday shoulders, wednesday legs, thursday chest and friday bi's and tri's. I start with 5 mins on the rowing machine to warm up.

    Cardio - monday spinning, tuesday aerobics, wednesday spinning then 20 mins core stability, thursday treadmill and friday spinning.

    I am also currently doing 6 week 6 pack dvd which i do every night when i get home from work.
  • Thanks for this thread, it's really interesting.

    At the moment i'm getting my knees back into shape (medical problems) so i don't do as much as i'd like. I really need to up my game.

    Right now my routine is walking 20-30 mins every day

    Monday - Wii fit 1hr
    Tuesday - Body combat class 55mins
    Wednesday - Step class 50mins
    Thursday - Body attack class 55mins
    Friday - rest
    Saturday - rest
    Sunday - walk 1hr & wii fit 1hr

    Friday and Saturday are busy days at work
    I plan to get some swimming in too, then work in some strength training. Probably body pump. I do better in classes than on my own.

    I work two jobs so I don't have a typical workout schedule- my "day off" varies more than I'd like but it's usually Thursday. The rest of the time it goes:
    Sunday- Running (currently C25K week 3) and Elliptical
    Monday- Zumba
    Tuesday Running/Elliptical
    Wednesday - Running or Zumba
    Thursday- off
    Friday Running/Elliptical
    Saturday- Zumba

    all of these days have interspersed weight training, but nowhere near as much as I should! The days that I run and do the elliptical are always at least 45 minutes of cardio

    Wow, I feel like a slacker next to you guys!:)

    I have been working out for almost a month now. It's been ending up that I work out at least 5-6 times a week.

    I do treadmill or stationary bike everyday on those 5-6 days I go to the gym.

    After cardio, I do strength training alternating between upper body one day and lower body the next.

    On days I can't get to the gym, I do something on exercise tv like the Leslie Sansone workouts. I want to eventually get back on the elliptical like I used to do several years ago and also incorporate sprinting/jogging into my interval workouts on the treadmill.
