Who works out 5 days a week?

mskari77

Everyday I will do either a 60 min cross country preset interval on the treadmill or the stationary bike. I take at least one day rest from cardio, two if I do a heavy leg workout.

Weights usually goes as follows:

Monday: Chest - inclines and declines with free weights, pecs on fly machine; one week a month I add in flat bench
Tuesday: Back - Lat pull-downs (3 wide grip, 2 close grip), seated cable rows, bent over rows, assisted chin ups, seated rows
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Shoulders - shoulder press machine, front raises, delt raises, delt fly, cable cross to fail
Friday: Arms - bicep curls, hanging preacher curls, tricep push downs, tricep kickbacks, dip machine
Saturday: Off, from both weights and cardio
Sunday: Legs - curls, extensions, barbell squats, leg press, adductor machine, standing calf raises

At least 3 days a week I add in 2 sets of 20 knee raises, and 2 sets of 20 on crunch machine @ 20#

Here's my schedule:

Monday: rest...always

Tuesday: rest or 6 sets of 500m on the erg (rowing machine)

Wednesday: weight training program day + 3 miles stationary bike

Thursday: stretching program day and 6 sets of 500m on the erg

Friday: weight training program day + 3 miles stationary bike

Saturday: 10km+ rowing (1.5 - 3 hrs)

My crew team has a trainer that is trying to get us ready for sprint season. He has set programs for both the weight training and stretching that focus on power and balance exercises.

I do five days a week! Twice a day! Hate to miss...have finally forced myself to have Saturday and Sunday off but then I notice my energy levels are low

I work out 6 days a week. I do the 30Day Shred 6 times weekly. I hit the gym 3-5 times weekly.

Before the 30 day shred (which I started mid January), gym workouts consisted of an hour on the elliptical and about 45 minutes of strength training.

Once I started the 30DS, I mostly only did cardio at the gym.

Now, however, I've been readying more about fitness, nutrition (I'm mostly primal now), and weight training, especially in the New Rules of Lifting for Women. So, Monday, I will be starting the following program:

Mon: Heavy lifting at gym in a.m., 30DS in evening
Tues: 30DS in evening, sometimes followed by Kinect cardio games
Wed: Heavy lifting at gym in a.m., 30DS in evening
Thurs: 30DS in evening, sometimes followed by Kinect cardio games
Wed: Heavy lifting at gym in a.m., 30DS in evening
Sat: Cardio at gym, because I enjoy it
Sun: rest

I've lost 21 pounds in less than 4 months, and I feel GREAT!!

I mix it up every week. I go running 3-4 times a week and do strength circuits every other day. If lifestyle choices count too, I try to walk or cycle everywhere I can and avoid taking the car.
I do not use the gym but would like to add swimming to my list of activities. I'm a very weak swimmer though.

lysistrataNix

i do the 30 day shred 5 days a week and i go to the gym for and hour 6 days a week. I do 45min cardio and 15+ with strength.

DeniseAS

I do at least 30 min. a day of cardio. Once in a while I take 1 day off, but usually 7 days a week. 2/3 times a week I weight train.

My goal is to make it to the gym 3-4 days and then to workout at home or go hiking the other days. My gym routine is all cardio right now (yes I know I need to start adding in some strenght training). Some days I run 2min-walk 1min and do this for 30 minutes or 5k walking or 30-45m on eliptical. Today I warmed up 10min walk on treadmil, then 20 min on rolling stair, 20 min armcycle 20 min eliptical, 20 bike and cool down 10 minutes walk on treadmil. I sometimes will add in the rowing machine not today. When I workout at home I usually do a yoga or pilates workout off of netflix or zumba for the wii

Prek2005

I'm not one who go to the gym, but I do try and workout 5 days a week by walking 30 minutes a day or working out to my collection of Denise Austin DVDs. Also, but not everyday I do some dancing and movement with my special needs students

egordon81

I work with my trainer Tuesdays and Thursdays. MWF I do an hour cardio (usually eliptical) with a mix of core here and there, Saturdays I do the machine circuit at the gym. Sundays are rest days, but if I have that extra energy I'll do some light cardio.

Weezieishness

I play Zumba on the PS3 six days a week. Usually just the 20 minute routines each day, but I'll do a 45 minute one once or twice a week. And I'll go for a 30 minute walk once or twice a week. I don't really plan which days I'll do things, I wait and see how it goes each day.

Articeluvsmemphis

I don't have a routine exactly, but I do like the treadmill, elliptical, exercise dvds and weights. I alternate strength training between lower/upper about 4times a week

Every day I ride my stationary bike for 30 minutes. At least 3 days a week I walk a mile or more. That is all I have time for!

I will like to workout 5 days a week, and this post is encouraging! I have difficulty knowing what to do or how to train. I like zumba, step-aerobics, but I am a horrible runner and get bored walking, any recommendations?? I would like to lose 40 pounds :bigsmile:

michellebelle1

Monday: before work- lift heavy (deadlift, squat, bench, etc.); 30-45 min

Wednesday: lunchtime/afternoon- Run 5k outside; 25-30 min

My husband and I share a car; we both work on a campus 30 minutes from home. He has to be at work at 7:30, but I don't have to be at work til 9. So I stay motivated because I if I don't go with my husband, I have no ride, and I have nothing better to do from 7:30-9:00 except workout and shower! (In case you are wondering, Wednesdays I have coffee with a girlfriend before work.)

foster59803

I do six days a week, actually. I'm doing Turbo Fire. Sunday through Thursday are Turbo Fire workouts from the schedule. Friday I do a circuit training class. Saturday I rest.

wendyannie1976

depends on the week, currently following a 36 week ironman training plan and will be working out between 6 and 7 days a week sometimes three times a day to get everything in, combination of swim, run, bike and strength work, try to fit 2 strength sessions in a week, at its height I'll be fitting in 25 hours training a week.:-) new to multisport but loving it, marathon running did great things for my body but multisport is just having amazing results and without the muscle fatigue marathon training produced!

sbcass

Sunday--Zumba or elliptical for an hour
Monday-Thursday-strength training (AM); water aerobics (PM)
Friday-strength training (AM); may work out in the evening
Saturday-water aerobics

Right now, I do have two personal trainers. One of my trainers is part of a 12-week group exercise class. Once the 12 weeks is over, I will spend three days strength training in the mornings and two days of deep water aerobics in the morning.

tnfphelan

Monday, Zumba for 1 hr and treadmill for 20 minutes, Tuesday treadmill for 20 & boot camp, Wednesday kickboxing and treadmill, Thursday cardio boot camp and zumba, friday strenght training class for 45 min, and zumba for 45 minutes, saturday zumba with weights for an hour and treadmill. Sunday is my day of rest. I'm 53 years old and I just love the classes. Had a personal trainer for a while but found I get more out of the classes.

KellyAnn65

I do spinning classes four days a week and rowing classes twice a week. About to add TRX training at least two days a week, three if I can manage a 5:45 AM class (not so sure about that one...).

Lleldiranne

My goal is to work out six days a week, too.
I do a lot of videos, and I mix them up so I don't get bored. Right now I'm alternating between two Tae Bo DVDs: Ripped Extreme and Cardio extreme. I do those about 4-5 mornings a week. I try to run on the treadmill at the gym 2 times a week (if I know I'm going to be running, I'll either skip the morning video or do just the weights part of Ripped). I also walk, around campus and to/from home to the rail station, a few days a week. It all works together to make 5-6 days, most weeks.
Not really a "routine" ... just doing what I can when I can!
