    Seven days/week
    P90X: 6 days/week. Each day is a different routine. 60-90 minutes.
    Plus everyday I HIIT/run (outdoors or treadmill) for 30-60 minutes.
    Day 7, I don't do resistance, but will run a little longer/harder.

    I work out normally 6, with a day of rest. I have to say I have been a gym fanatic for awhile just had to stop while carrying twins and now back on track.

    Monday step class and spin studio cycling.
    tuesday spin followed by step class.
    wednesday double spin class
    thursday- REST
    friday weights in gym and aerobics
    saturday Jilian Michaels 30DS dvd
    sunday bike ride (hr-2 hrs long)

    In between i have school walks to attend in morning and pm so this keeps me busy and i feel is plenty. Like the variety of different workouts.

    I usually workout 6-7 days a week doing P90X. I try to get a short run in on a weekday resustenxevday and a longer run on the weekends. On Day 7 I typically do the P90X stretch routine.

    I'm following Hal Higdon's novice 10k training program so I'm doing some form of a workout 6 days a week. I travel for my job so it's a bit crazy but I'm in week 4 and still going strong! LMK if you have any advice for my first ever running event.

    I do weights 3 or 4 days a week, and run 5 days a week, and try to take a full day off to rest and recover once every 7 or 8 days...

    I'm doing 5-6 days a week. Lately it's been six, with some days heavier than others.

    Four days at gym, doing cardio and strength training.

    Two days at home doing cardio only: Either my stationary cycle or jogging around town.

    In the past I have alternated Jillian Michaels' "Burn Fat, Boost Metabolism" with her "No More Trouble Zones". That made for cardio every other day and strength on the opposing days.
    Since having my 5th baby though, I hadn't done much (he is almost 18 months), so I just started a C25K program MWF with my 10 year old son, and on T/Th I do Jillian's "No More Trouble Zones."
