Do you work out in a gym? At home? With friends or alone?

Laura_Ivy

At home I have a ton of different workout videos,weights and a treadmill so it works and is free! I wish I had a gym membership though.

Here's the skinny on my workout routine:

Monday-Tuesday- rest

Wednesday- Intense Cardio: 1-2 hours and 45 minutes of strength training (GYM)

Thursday- Barbell Total Body Workout-1hour- Chest. Upper Chest, Lower Chest.Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps, Glutes, (GYM)

Friday- Intense Cardio: 2 hours running (GYM)

Saturday-Circuit Training- Body Weight Total Body Workout-1 hour:Chest. Pushups, kettlebells, ropes, pully's, squats. etc...(GYM)

Sunday-1 hour of Cardio- Jog (Neighborhood)

%%%Please give me your opinions and refer to specific days. Thanks

Have you tried doing Strength and Cardio on the same days? Research I've done suggests you get better benefits doing both. I'm not suggesting I follow all my research, just that is something you might want to try. I don't believe in separating muscle groups so one day squats, next day deadlifts or some other exercise. Everyday shoulders, I have an injury I'm trying to build around. My issue, getting enough calories in my diet.

My routine
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday = Start with 1 hour of intense (usually above zone 3) strength training followed immediately by 1 hour of cardio (typically aim for zone 1 or 2 with sprints into zone three). Either way the goal is a minimum of 1,000 calories burned.

Every other Friday / Saturday = same as above (have my kids every other weekend so we just go to gym and swim on Saturday)

Sunday's = Off, well ok Off usually means don't pick up a weight but I do go and try to get more zone 1 fat burning cardio in for at least an hour.

I have always worked out at home in my basement either on my treadmill, elliptical or with a workout video. I prefer a good video when I find something that interests me. I would be mortified to exercise in public since I am so uncoordinated. I won't even let my husband in the basement when I am doing my videos LOL.

I work out in a gym when the weather is bad, but I prefer to run outside. I also like to work out alone because then I don't have to worry about planning to go at a certain time or waiting for someone who is running late. I can work out when I feel like it for however long I feel like it.

Fortunate enough to afford a gym membership and its 2 blocks from work.
I go everyday over my lunch hour.

I also work out with a trainer once a week.

(If my hubby ever complains about the $ I spend, I justify it thusly:
The gym membership is like health insurance- non- negotiable.
And the $36 a week in training? That's roughly what a take out lunch
costs for 5 days- I just choose to spend my money on a healthier option.)

Monday- strength training and cardio (if I'm off i take a BodyAttack class)

Tues- all cardio *

Wed- workout with trainer

Thurs- all cardio

Friday TRX class

*usually do 45 min run one day, and 45 spin the other as I'm training for an indoor triathalon

No formal exericise on the weekends, save an occasion run when the weather is nice.

Used to work out at the gym but it started getting costly and I wasn't really going constantly. I know do 30 day shred or jog on the treadmill kinda boring lol but I am gonna try out the wii fit and see how that goes

I usually always work out by myself, typically at the gym. Lately I've been working out at home in addition to the gym because I'm doing the 30 day shred.

I work out alone in the gym, but I want to try some classes there once I get more comfortable with my strength and body. I also do Insanity a couple of times a week at home. I find being alone at the gym is almost like meditation for me, and is very relaxing
