Just wondering what everyone did for strength/cardio training.
Mine is:
Monday: Chest and Arms, run a mile before workout, run .5 miles after workout.
Tuesday: Abs and Legs, run a mile before workout, run .5 miles after workout.
Wednesday: Arms and Abs, running before and after
Thursday: Run 5k on treadmill, rest on weights
Friday: Chest and Arms, running before and after
Saturday: Back and Legs, running before and after
Sunday: Basketball
8 Separate Workouts
Average Calorie burn: 600/day
This works for me. Let's see what you do.

Hello - good topic to get people thinking about
My routine changes from week to week but I tried to think about what I'd generally do each day. The hard thing for me is when I'm travelling for work which I do quite a bit (normally in the middle of the week). For those days I would generally be burning at least 450 calories just from all the walking and dragging my suitcase around so I don't worry about missing out on the structured exercise too much.
Monday: 7am spin then some light weights with twisting type moves (so for my midsection and back)
Tuesday: Some walking - nothing full on
Wednesday: Cross trainer/Elliptical warm up then leg work weights and dead lifts
Thursday: Swimming then sauna/steam room
Friday: 6pm spin then some light arm weights
Saturday: Personal training session normally incorporating boxing and weights with intervals of cardio between exercises
Sunday: Bikram yoga or boxing circuit0 -
Sounds pretty hardcore, especially compared to mine : 3
Monday: Butt bible Arm work out level 2, Dance team practice(2 hrs), active 2 on Wii Cardio/weight training.
Tuesday: Butt bible arm workout level 3, dance team practice, Ab work out, Maybe tennis or running.
Wendnesday: Swimming and/or Volleyball.
Thursday:Butt bible workout level 1, Dance team practice, active 2 cardio/weighttraining, kickboxing.
Friday: Butt bible level 2, Swimming, kickboxing
Saturday:Butt bible level 3, Active 2 cardio/weightraining, Dancing, abs.
Sunday: Butt bible arm level 1, LOTS of walking, Active 2 cardio/weightraining, kickboxing, maybe abs.
I just realized I track only about 1/3 of this in my exercise journal

I do 30 Day Shred every single day, then depending on how I'm feeling and what the weather's doing, I either walk the dog around the neighborhood or dance at home. I can't afford all that fancy gym stuff

Looks like a good week's workout. I would love to swim, but I do not have a full service gym.0

Dont feel inferior. Do what you can. As long as your heart rate is risen for an extended period, Calories are being burned.0

That's sucks
I get free access to the base pool since my dads military
Ya for Id cards : 3.
Have you checked the Ymca for any discounts or free days?
Sometimes they have them, Like teen late night for kids 13-19, they make it free on fridays.0 -
You shouldn't feel inferior.....I was only walking outside a lot before I joined the gym and it's definitely a good start....plus if you have that shred (I have no idea what it is) that should work for you. ..I remember using heavy books as weights and piling books on top of one another for a step up routine before....you can do a lot without going to a gym...You can do it!!

Yeah, defiantly don't feel inferior, especially since I don't go to the gym for any of the things i do(unless you count swimming...).
You can easily get creative and found other ways to work out, like going to a park and doing pull ups on the monkey bar, running the track, leg lifts on benches, etc etc : 3.0 -

Just look at there calender, you might get lucky : 3.0 -
I will look into it. I am only going to the gym right now because I have a few free week trials at 3 different gym. I have to decide which gym to join after these trials are up.0
-
coming to the end the 2nd week of a 12 week program ....
Mon: Resistance Upper
Tue: Cardio
Wed: Cardio
Thu: Resistance Lower
Fri: Resistance Upper
Sat / Sun: one rest day one Cardio
Then the next week swap upper and lower.
For Cardio I do a levels based workout L10 = can do no more, L1 = can do all day. So a cardio workout looks like this
L5 = 2 min
L6 = 1 min
L7 = 1 min
L8 = 1 min
L9 = 1 min
Repeat L6 to L9 three more times
L10 = 1 min
L5 = 1 min
=========
20 minutes total.
For Resistance Upper I do Chest, Lats, Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps in levels.
For Resistance Lower I do Squats, Hamstrings, Abs in levels
Pick a weight that leaves you at the level after the number of reps L10 means you could not lift 1 more rep. For each exercise do
12 reps = L7
1 min rest
10 reps = L8
1 min rest
8 reps = L9
1 min rest
6 reps = L10 (i.e cannot do one more rep)
1 min rest
12 reps = L10
no rest
12 reps (same muscle group different exercise) = L10
Upper takes about 60 min, lower takes about 40 min. NO stretching afterwards. No additional cardio.
This is then combined with a different eating pattern, 6 smaller meals a day with 20g protein and 20g carbs. At least 2 dairy, 2 vegtable, 1 oils (nuts etc).
I have not got the eating down that low yet

Rest days quite often involve little jungle gym sessions with pullups, pushups, bw squats etc.
And I ride to work each day on pushy but that's only 5 mins or so each way so I ride quick.0 -
Well, you all have out done me. Not to mention I am a hit or miss work outer. So my workouts are all walking. period. I live in the country where walking outside is very hard. We have no sidewalks. And the roads are very hilly. Like if you are at the bottom of the hill you see nothing in front of you. So they are good cardio. My HR usually stays in the 145-150ish range. I also have 5 pound free weights I do my upper arms every day. I work everyday and have 3 kids and a home to take care of so some days I just can't fit it in. But lately I have been doing much better at getting my walks in. I do have some DVD's to do. I got a free walking DVD from prevention and I have a Leslie Sansone DVD. I love reading what you all are doing. I would like to go to a Gym, but the local one has crappy hours. Some days I work 8 or more a day. Then the kids are in a ton of stuff. I do... hee hee take the long route to the potty at work or just walk the halls when there is down time. My stepper averages 10000-15000 a day.
Thanks for all your ideas, though. I do have a treadmill but geesh after like 5 minutes, it feels like I have been on it for a hour. Boring! Walking outside, I could go for a long time, looking at all the trees and other houses...I also have a fireplace and I step up and down on the hearth while watching t.v. then sometimes I go up and down out stairs fast. lol I have to be creative sometimes. Sorry to ramble on and on.
