alyssamiller77

Monday, Wednesday, Friday - Heavy Lifting Upper Body (Chest, Arms, Shoulders and Back)
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday - Heavy Lifting Lower Body & Abs
Sundays - Either rest day or just light cardio.

** As part of my calorie cycling approach, I generally add light cardio on my lifting days during my cut cycle.

Monday - LIght strength work out with weights 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm +/- - Followed by a Capoeira class from 8:00 pm to 9:30pm
Tuesday - Jeet Kune Do class from 8:00pm to 9:30 pm (depending how tired I am I usually arrive early for a little yoga and a few rounds of skipping)
Wednesday - LIght strength work out with weights 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm +/- - Followed by a Capoeira class from 7:30 pm to 9:00pm
Thursday - Jeet Kune Do class from 8:00pm to 9:30 pm (depending how tired I am I usually arrive early for a little yoga and a few rounds of skipping)
Friday - After work "light" workout by myself at JKD gym. Place is usually empty aside from me and I vary my routine between yoga - Capoeira - JKD and boxing. What ever I happen to feel like doing at the time. I usually arrive around 5:15pm and leave just after 7:00pm
Saturday - Morning workout - 10:00am - Noon - This is the big weights workout. If I am not too tired or sore I try and add in some cardio at the end but this happens maybe 50% of the time.
Sunday - Rest & ointment for the muscles! Also my one day to work around the house uninterrupted by any trips to the gym.

Note: In the summer I was out and on my bike a LOT! Basically there was no friday or saturday gym visits as I was biking.

Good luck putting together a routine that works for you.

I work full time, so I work out in the evenings & on weekends. I get most of my cardio from group classes. The schedule is changing in 2 weeks, so here's what it will be (similar to now, just days are switched):

Sunday: elliptical (30 min) & strength training (20 min)
Monday: rest
Tuesday: butts & guts class (60 min) & Zumba toning class (60 min)
Wednesday: kickboxing class (60 min) & strength training (20 min)
Thursday: boot camp class (60 min) & zumba class (60 min)
Friday: Zumba class (60 min) & strength training (20 min)
Saturday: Zumba toning class (60 min)

Even though there's lots of Zumba in there, I change it up enough with the other group classes. I do better in them than just using cardio machines...I get bored & don't do them as long!

M-walking 3.5 hrs, jogging 40 mins, strength training 20 mins
T-walking 3.5 hrs, jogging 40 mins, strength training 20 mins

T-Walking 5.0hrs Jogging 40 mins,strength training 20 mins
F-Walking 3.5 hrs, jogging 40 mins, strength training 20 mins
S-Walking 1 hr
S-Walking 1 hr No weights on weekends

My weight training also includes push ups,sit ups,squats my jogging is split 20 mins in the am and 20 mins in the noon hr
Walking times can vary sometimes I mix it up and walk for 5.0 hrs the whole week or If I have a day off of work I will slack off a bit only clocking 3.0 hrs. I will be starting to do more jogging and less walking but as of now this is working out for me.

Monday: Chest - Volleyball
Tuesday: Biceps and Triceps - Sprints
Wednesday: Legs
Thursday: Shoulders - Plyometrics
Friday - Back

I try to do as many compound exercises as I possibly can as well. Most of my strength training workouts last between an hour and an hour and a half. I play a lot of sports so weekends are either sports filled or skiing.

Wow, I feel really lame now, lol

I do about 15 minutes of HIIT on the treadmill immediately followed by 30 minutes of personal training with heavy lifting followed by about another 10 minutes of treadmill. I do that 3 days a week. That's about it.

dgoard

Finally got a schedule I think is doable.
Rushfit 4-5 days a week during the evening usually will rest on Sunday
Gym 2-3 days a week during lunch for weight training.

rachelmorgan77

M - Boot camp & zumba
T - zumba or pilates
W - Boot camp & TRX
TH - aqua zumba or pilates
F - Boot camp
Saturday - zumba
Sunday - rest day

Some weeks are more hectic than others, but this is what I try to accomplish. I love zumba, so I try to get that in as my cardio, as I'm not much of a runner. However, I'd like to start the C25K when it gets nicer, so I'll probably change this up in the spring.

Planned Schedule (I almost always adjust it a little) - Winter:

Sunday AM - rest
Sunday PM - 60 min bike trainer
Monday AM - rest
Monday PM - weight training - abs and legs
Tuesday AM - 60 min swim
Tuesday PM - 60 min bike trainer
Wednesday AM - 5k run
Wednesday PM - weight training - arms, shoulders, lats
Thursday AM - 60 min swim
Thursday PM - 60 min bike trainer
Friday - rest
Saturday AM - long run - between 10k and 20k
Saturday PM - rest

Summer:

Sunday AM - rest
Sunday PM - rest
Monday AM - bike to work - 30 min
Monday PM - bike home - 30 min & weight training - abs/legs
Tuesday AM - 60 min swim
Tuesday PM - rest
Wednesday AM - 5k run
Wednesday PM - open water swim 1800 meters (might do two laps this coming summer, so 3600m)
Thursday AM - 60 min swim
Thursday PM - weight training - arms, shoulders, lats
Friday AM - bike to work
Friday PM - bike home
Saturday AM - 20 mile bike to lake, 1800m open water swim, 20 mile ride home (and this year I'll be adding a 5-10k run)
Saturday PM - rest (cause I deserve it after that morning workout!)

I have probably only once actually done all of these on each given day in one week - there are always other things to do, work stuff, etc., but it is important to have a set schedule to keep you on track. If I had to wake up every morning and decide what to do that day, it would be sleeping in.

Having a schedule like this, it is also motivation to get your gear ready ahead of time, which leads to less excuses at "go time". Friday nights in the summer include about 20 minutes of getting my nutrition and fluids on the bike, setting my gear out and airing up the tires. If the bike is ready to go at 6am it makes getting on it that much easier.

I am currently doing the Insanity dvd set (which I need to do after I post this) I am very much enjoying the soreness! lol I am only on day 4 but you do it 6 days a week and rest on Sunday which I will use sunday as a day to do some light walking with the kids in the double jogging stroller if the weather permits. When doing the Insanity believe me it is enough!! I also the the jillians Michaels dvds she really is great but it is only day four for me and I was not really seeing any results with her dvds as much as I am seeing doing the Insanity.

chriscoates7025

Because of my work schedule I can only get to the gym to workout 3 days a week, M-W-F. Would be nice to workout more, but that is not possible for me

ster81

Sunday,Monday, Wednesday, Thursday... Weight training... Zero cardio

sarah307

I don't have a set workout schedule because I hate following "rules" lol

But I try to workout 5 to 6 days a week because if I don't workout, I feel terrible and can't eat as much haha
I have just been running lately and I do it whenever I find the time which is usually in the afternoon after work/class or in the late evening before bed to get all my energy out

and it's usually about an hour or however much I can get in! every little bit counts!

strength is another story - I try to do 30 day shred / P90X or weights at least once a week - which i should bump that up to twice a week but I just can't stand weights lol
