    THis is great for getting ideas to switch things up....

    Almost everyday I am shredding (30 DS level 2) with my husband before the kids get up. On the weekends, I tack on another 2 minute zumba wii session. (although the kids are seriously annoyed at my honing on their wii time)

    At least 2xs per week on my way to or from the school drop-off, I take a 30 minute hike -- am timing myself and trying to get it done faster every time. I like the quick hits outside rather than phoning in the 50+ minute sessions on a machine.

    Lastly I play tennis for at least an hour 4 days a week...with varying intensity. I am a beginner but it has been really engaging to take on a new sport. I kind of view the tennis lessons as an alternative to working out with a trainer.

    Monday doubles 1.5 hours
    Tuesday private lesson 1 hour (intense)
    Wed and Fri 1 hour clinic (not intense at all)

    On a great week, I will throw in a yoga class. When tennis session ends will replace with some spinning classes at the gym.

    Happy Training.

    I try to, barring injury or illness. I try to do weekdays and then weekends off. Each day is anywhere from 45-60 minutes
    Monday - Random cardio. Row machine, treadmill, stationary bike, stair-stepper. Whatever I feel like.
    Tuesday - Kettlebell class.
    Wednesday - Bootcamp cardo/strength type class.
    Thursday - Kickboxing class.
    Friday - Random cardio.

    Then Saturday and Sunday off. The university gym has reduced hours on the weekends anyway, so it's hard to get there. Plus after that week, my body needs those 2 days off to recover. As a bonus, those two days give my body chance to shed any extra water weight since exercise makes me retain water. So on Monday morning for my official weigh in, I've ditched the water weight.

    I only walk 20-25 min. on my treadmill five days a week. And if my "diet buddy" wants to walk when she gets off work, then I walk with her another 20-30 min. a day. (which is usually about two times a week)

    6-7 days a week, routine varies but includes the following:

    Cardio: 45 minutes/day 4-5X per week (combination of elliptical, treadmill (3-4 mph/12-15% incline), and stairmaster)

    Circuit: 45 minutes, 3X per week includes variations on the following: jumping jacks, mountain climbers, squats, lunges, pushups, rows, jump squats, plank, plus weight machine/free weight exercises.

    I work with a personal trainer who provides the circuits each day - they are always different.

    I don't go to the gym but here is what I do typically:

    Monday: Zumba sculpt and tone (40-45 min) and Low Impact aerobics (30 min)
    Tuesday: Zumba sculpt and tone (40-45 min)
    Wednesday: Low Impact aerobics (30 min) and circuits of squats, jumping jacks, crunches and lunges
    Thursday: zumba sculpt and tone (40-45 min)
    Friday: Zumba cardio party (40ish min)
    Saturday: Either rest day or Low Impact aerobics (30 min)
    Sunday: Either rest day or Kickboxing (36 min)

    I usually have 1 rest day a week and its almost always either Saturday or Sunday, depending on how I feel. Some Saturdays we are out a good part of the day running errands so sometimes I like to rest when we get home.

    I do 6 days a week and one rest day. 1.5 to 2 hours during the week and 3-3.5 each on hours Saturday and Sunday. 5 days of powerlifting and bodybuilding with 20 min. of cardio fat burning and 20 min.of abs. Was burning 10 to 11K calories a week and was burning myself out. Now I've cut back to 7-8K calories a week. I run a mile in 7:30 and 5K in a little under 28 minutes. Looking to build a super athlete at 45 years old just because. lol
