I LOVE working out. It has never been a problem for me. Out of control portions and emotional eating is the source of my weight problem. I'm an athlete inside this fat girl body and I'm determined to let her shine.

So because I'm always looking for something new to do and I'm nosey, please share you workout schedule and/or your favorite/most effective workouts.

Monday
Zumba - 60 minutes
Pilates Sculpt - 60 minutes

Tuesday
Stretch Therapy - 60 minutes

Wednesday
Zumba - 60 minutes
Core Conditioning - 60 minutes

Thursday
Bar Blast / Body Pump - 60 minutes

I don't go to the gym on Friday, Saturday and Sunday but I try to incorporate fun activities into my weekend like hiking or bowling.

Thanks for sharing!

    Girl, I'm trying to find my groove again but when I'm on my game, I usually run and do spin classes for the majority of my cardio. I've gotten so out of my schedule that I don't even know where to begin anymore!

    M-F I do the 30 Day Shred with some sort of cardio. Usually 20 minutes walking at about 3.5.
    Sa/Su I either do 30 Day Shred or P90X cardio, depending on what my husband is up for.

    Based on what others are doing, looks like I need to step up my game!

    By far my most effective workout routine was when I did the P90X lean routine and ran a couple miles every day on top of the 6 days/a week with P90X.

    I have been trying to mix it up a little, because I have been stuck for like 2 months with the last 6 pounds to lose, and I just can't get it off!

    I have tried decreasing and increasing both my workouts, and calories, in every combination I can think of. I eat really clean, and I think that my body is just programmed to be stuck here... very discouraging with all of my dedication!

    OMG - all y'all are making me feel LAME with my little workout schedule!! The funny part is I KILL myself to get there every day - work/house/kiddos homework/dinner/hubby - and when I go I can't really stay longer than an hour. Here's what I do:

    Sunday:

    Either 5-mile walk with 2 neighborhood gal friends - or if it's raining 20 min elliptical - 30 min treadmill intervals - abdominal crunches & stretch

    Monday:
    Same as above

    Tuesday:
    Zumba Class or Vinyassa Yoga - depending on what time I can go

    Wednesday:
    Bodypump if I get there in time, or 20 minutes ellipical & upper body weights routine

    Thursday:
    30 min RPM glass, or if I didn't do Body pump, 20 minutes ellipical & lower body weights routine

    Friday:
    As sweaty as I can get, on whatever machine I'm in the mood for, one hour.

    Saturday:
    Bodypump or Zumba

    Monday-31 minutes eleptical, 14 minutes treadmill (45 minutes), Strength training arms (25-30 minutes)
    Tuesday-31 minutes eleptical 29 minutes treadmill
    Wednesday-31 minutes Eleptical, 14 minutes treadmill, Strength training legs (25-30)
    Thursday-31 minutes eleptical 29 minutes treadmill
    Friday-31 minutes eleptical, 14 minutes treadmil, Strength training back/stomach (25-30)

    If I go on Saturday I usually just do cardio-31 minutes eleptical 29 minutes treadmill, but usually Saturday and Sunday is a free day for me.

    I am going to be alternating these around in another week...On my cardio only days, I might choose to add in some bike exercises, or cut treadmill time in half and add the bike in.

    Can you tell I like the eleptical? Each week I add on another minute. I can average 5.5-6.5 mph and burn over 300 calories on it.

    I'm all about less is more... I'm loosely following the fitness principles from Primal Blueprint. Every week is different for me as far as the days go, but each week I'm looking to get in:

    2- total body lifting sessions (lift heavy things)
    1- HIIT (sprint)

    I also try to get some low intensity excercise on days that I'm not working out (move slowly). This might mean walking or some sports, but nothing too intense. Last month I tried very hard to eat more bacon and this was my fitness plan, and I had the best wieght loss month I've had on my current journey. Quality over quantity!!!
  • WOW! These workouts are impressive...I'm inspired.

    P90X seems to be pretty popular but it scares me, and I really enjoy taking classes and interacting with other people. Maybe I'll borrow the P90X discs from one of my friends and give it a try!

    Kind of confused here...so you were intentionally trying to eat more bacon to lose weight? How is this possible?

    I am the same as you. I love working out and being active.... buut I love eating too and that's why I am heavier than I want to be. I am a triathlete and do not always stick to the exact distances in this schedule because cycling and triathlon have seasons and race dates dictate where I am in the schedule, but here it is:

    Monday - Cycling 20-30 miles (about an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and 30 minutes)

    Tuesday - Running anywhere from 2 - 4 miles or interval/speed training

    Wednesday - Same as Monday

    Thursday - To the gym for a short 15-20 minute treadmill run, an hour of weight lifting, and 1000 - 2000 meters of swimming (20-40 minutes)

    Friday - Rest or run 15-20 minutes

    Saturday - Cycling 40-70 miles

    Sunday - Long Run - 4-10 miles Swim 1000-2000 meters

    Check out Primal Blueprint or any information you can find about Paleo. Basically, I'm eating meat (including lots of bacon), veggies. That's pretty much all I eat... My calories come from Fat (45%) and Protien (40%), and I eat few Carbs. Fats keep you full (and happy), and the weight just flies off!!

    EAT MORE BACON + EXERCISE LESS = LOSE MORE WEIGHT :happy:
  • I eat my 1200 calories and whatever exercise cals I earn. I try to do 30DS everyday but if I need breaks I walk at least 2miles and do 10 minutes of jumping jacks. I also drink between 32oz and 64oz of water each day, that helps!

    During this first period of weight loss, I focus on getting in cardio every day of a 6 day cycle. Because my ultimate goal is to climb ice and rock at a much higher level, I also climb 2-3 days per week interspersed with strength training via compound lifts and auxiliary exercises. Core work throughout the week.

    My overall time limits are determined by caloric expenditure measured with a heart rate monitor and MyFitnessPal.

    A sample schedule might be:

    Monday - Climbing, 1-3 hours, 700-1700 calories

    Tuesday - Cardio and strength training, 1 hour, 500-1200 calories

    Wednesday - Core conditioning class, 1 hour, ~700 calories

    Thursday - Climbing, 1-3 hours, 700-1700 calories

    Friday - Cardio and strength training, 1 hour, 500-1200 calories

    Saturday - Cardio and climbing, 1-3 hours, 1800+ calories

    Sunday - Rest Day

    mine goes something like this

    mon - personal training if i can afford it, if not weights and cardio
    tue - boxing class
    wed - spin / rpm class
    thurs - cardio and weights OR cardio and yoga
    fri - boxing class OR pump class

    i don't exercise on weekends generally, but am happy to go for a walk or a ride (ok that's a lie, i'd like to go for a ride, but have a couple of kids that stop that from happening).
  • Mine is roughly as follows:

    Monday - Zumba (also sculpt & shape/Body Pump when I have the time)

    Tuesday - Pilates and Zumba

    Wednesday - Zumba and Body Combat

    Thursday - Zumba (plus Body Pump when I can)

    Friday - Body Combat (plus Sculpt & Shape when I can)

    Saturday - Body Combat/Body Pump (both/either/sometimes none depending on kids' sports schedules)

    Sunday - Zumba (depending on kids' sports schedules)

    This looks like a lot of Zumba but there are 4 different instructors over the classes so it is a different routine at almost every class (which can be confusing if they use the same tracks!)

    Also I'm in week 2 of C25K on the treadmill at the gym (which I don't have definite days for but just fit in when I can), and I have a 20 minute gym routine (5 mins bike/5 mins rower/5 mins weights/5 mins arm bike) which I squeeze in while I am waiting for classes to start/kids to finish sports and so on, so it's not regular.

    I was never one for exercise but now that I am in the routine (7 weeks now) I absolutely love it and I really miss the classes when I can't manage along! I aim for a minimum of 4 classes per week, since I started the least I have been to is 6 and the most 11.

    My schedule doesn't look anywhere near y'alls but here is what I currently do;

    M, W, F - 30 minute circuit training, plus 20 minutes free weights, plus 30 minutes on the arc trainer
    T, TH - 30 minutes weight machines & free weights plus 45 minutes arc trainer

    Weekends are off as far as the gym goes, I typically work out around the house doing yard work or cleaning. Today I'm painting 2.5 rooms.

    I go to gym most days. Do cardio every day (elliptical and / or static bike), and weights on alternate days. I also thread in some running, and a fair bit of dog walking. I'm active every day, but have a quieter day (just a good hour / hour and a half of walking) one day a week.
