Who works out 5 days a week?

reneeileen

I work out 5-6 days a week.

Monday: 60-90 minutes elliptical trainer
Tuesday: Body Sculpt Class 55 min
Wednesday: Zumba 55 min
Thursday: Rest
Friday: Zumba 45 min
Saturday: Bike 45 min, Run 45 min
Sunday: Swim 30 min

I have a significant amount of weight to lose so I have been focusing primarily on cardio. I'm working on integrating more strength training in now that I'm getting more fit.

I work out 4-5 days a week, I always aim for 5. I work out at home, I start with a workout dvd with Jillian Michaels, circuit training, then I run on my treadmill, usually 2-3 miles, 5 mph, then I walk for anywhere from 10-30 mins, at 3-3.5 mph, and then I finish with strength training, and I do this for anywhere from 10-30 mins.

I work out 5-7 days a week. I alternate cardio and strength training. I've got about 16 different workouts I've designed that challenge me in different ways, I pick one at random before I go to the gym and print it off. It keeps it interesting and fresh. In the warmer seasons I play rec league sports and I consider those to be "workouts" as well since it's why I'm playing. I dropped from 365 pounds to 295 from the beginning of summer last year to the beginning of winter... then immediately gained 25 pounds back when the weather sucked the life out of me... but i'm back at it.

I also make sure I'm listening to my body, too. I've had knee issues in the past, so say I go to the gym with the intention of jogging a mile, doing a mile on the stairs, then 30 minutes on the elliptical and my knees hurt, I might walk up an incline on the treadmill instead of the stairs to have a little mercy on myself. Also, if I'm super-setting lunges into my work out, and the knees are grumpy, I'll swap them out for push ups or crunches. As much as I want to keep it interesting, I also know that even a mild injury can derail all my efforts and put me on the shelf for a week or so.

I do the P90x weight workouts for 40 mins. MWF (I know the routines, so I can move forward less than an hour)
TThs I do tabata alone or tabata+20 min. walk
Sat or Sun, I walk 2 miles.
I take a rest day either Sat. or Sun.

I try to do something 5-6 days a week and sometimes 7. Some of my workouts are on the tough side so I make sure to listen to my body about taking a break. I belong to a gym. here's what my last week looked like :

Sunday : 60 minutes cardio (25 minutes versaclimber,35 minutes HIIT fast walking hills on the treadmill)
Monday: cardio kickboxing class
Tuesday : 10 mins versa climber, 26 min strength training tabata style, 12 mins HIIT uphill sprint combos on the treadmill
Wednesday : OFF
Thursday : same as Tuesday
Friday: 25 mins biking, 10 mins elliptical
Saturday : 60 mins water aerobics class

I prefer to keep my workouts 60 mins or less so i'm OK with increasing intensity.

I do six days, Sun, Tues and Thurs is strength training, Mon, Wed and Friday's some sort of cardio (treadmill, bike or elliptical) All my workouts are minimum 40 min......:)

This is what I try to keep to, pending illness and availability:

Everyday: Stationary Bike 1 to 2 hours
Weekdays: Walking 1 to 2 hours
Every other day: Upper Body and Core
The other days: Legs

Though about to start traveling regularly again, so the routine is likely getting mixed up again. Chances are weekends will see less of the gym and much more walking. And want to get into Yoga, likely at the expense of the weekday walking.

jenniebean1680

I do 6 days:

Monday: weight circuit, 60 mins teaching spinning class

Tuesday: Rest or run 4-5 easy miles

Wednesday: weight circuit, 60 mins teaching spin

Thursday: Rest or run 4-5 easy miles

Friday: Run 6-7, weight circuit

Saturday: Long run, 10-16 miles (this will increase over the summer as I will be training for a full marathon)

Sunday: Weight circuit, 60 mins teaching spin.

I always, ALWAYS take at least one rest day a week, sometimes more if I am feeling burnt. Tuesday or Thursday is my rest day, depending on how much energy I have Tuesday. If I run Tues, I rest Thurs.

I work out at least five, sometimes six days a week.
I attend WVU and we have an AMAZING student recreational center, complete with swimming pool, rock climbing walls, tons of machines, an indoor track, basketball courts, etc.
I just go to the Rec every day and kill at least an hour doing anything & everything I can. My favorite = the elliptical machines.

nette_65

I don't exactly work out but I do more exercise a week than I ever used to.
I have to take the bus to work and after getting off the bus, I walk for 25-30 minutes to my work place, same again going home but in reverse.
I try to do a couple of 30 minute walks at the weekend too. I don't power walk or anything but even going at a slow/dog walking pace is still burning calories.

But oh dear, maybe I should've read all the other posts before I admitted to my 'exercise' regime lol
Hey ho, every little help!

MsTanya77

I work out five days a week and my rest day depends on what day I have to go to work. But usually:

Monday-Stairmaster, Crossramp, Elliptical or Treadmill

Tues-Circuit Training

Wed-Spin class

Thursday-Same as Monday

Friday-Circuit Training

Saturday-Step class

kcgslp

I do 6-7 days a week

Monday- Les Mills Group Fitness Class- BODYATTACK (High Intensity Intervals Training)
& Pilates Group Fitness
Tuesday- BODYATTACK class
Wednesday- 3-5 mile run
Thursday- 3-5 mile run
Friday- BODY ATTACK
Saturday- Les Mills Group Fitness (either Spin or Dance) or Rest
Sunday- Long Run 6-8 miles

The classes keep me at the gym. I hate to miss a class and I know I have to get my runs in so I end up with a pretty full workout schedule. But when life gets in the way and I need to miss a day, I have no guilt because I know I've got a plan.

ifucsam

I usually do 5 or 6 but never less than 4 unless I'm really busy. I try and do at least 20 minutes of good cardio. I do Zumba, the Just Dance games and hula hooping! When it's warmer I bike but it's not so warm here right now!

ChRiStA_1983

I actually work out six...I'm a runner, so running comprises most of my training regimen...

Mondays - Body Attack (an intense 60 minute cardio and strength class) at the gym.
Tuesdays - Easy Run OR Tempo Run (if Wednesday is a hill workout)
Wednesdays - Speed or Hill work (alternating weeks)
Thursdays - Body Attack (45 minute format, plus a few minutes on the treadmill, usually)
Fridays - Easy Run
Saturdays - Rest OR Long Run
Sundays - Rest OR Long Run (depending upon whether I ran or rested on the Saturday)...

That's pretty much my typical routine. Occasionally I'll take an extra day off, but usually it's 6 days a week. I love it!

* Edited for a spelling error. I can't stand making spelling mistakes!

How did you get to the point where you run 20 miles? OMG...Couch 2 5K?

daisy5454

I work shift work so I fit in workouts on whichever day suits. I generally do 3 gym sessions of 40 mins crosstrainer/threadmill/erg combo then 2 days of swimming 40 lengths and some weights.

kruggsy

My schedule looks a bit like this;
Mon-Gym mixture of cardio and weights 1hr
Tues-rest
Wed-as Mon
Thurs-Zumba 1hr

So please tell me trainer why I still can't lose weight?

Carrin817

Couch 2 5k 3x week
Walk at least 60 minutes on Nordic Track 3-4 days
Jillian Michael's 6 Week 6 Pack 2x week

I juat started the Jillian DVD this week. I'm on week 4 of the Couch 2 5K (not getting any easier)! I try not to take any days off because I know I would feel bad about myself if I did. Its weird to go from a "sit on thecouch everynight & watch TV" kind of gal to a "I've gotta get some kind of burn in everyday" kind of person!

bjs06

I try to be active everyday but I work out about 5 days a week.
Mondays- 60 Min Body Pump Class 60 Min Gym (Cardio+Strength)
Tuesdays-Gym 60 Min, Rec Volleyball 90 Min
Wednesdays- 60 Min Body Pump Class 60 Min Gym (Cardio+Strength)
Thursdays-Volleyball 90 Min (Sometimes I do gym as well, depends)
Fridays-I usually do a run or hit the gym for 60 mins
Saturdays-I usually take them off!
Sundays-Sometimes I do a run, especially if I didn't Friday.

This is rough because I don't have a set schedule at work. It changes every week but I try to work out least 5 times, even if its just a session of volleyball - gotta keep moving.

Wottie72

I do a zumba toning class on mondays, 25minutes of cardio (stairmill or similar) + weight training (upper body or lower body))on Tuesday, 25 minutes of cardio + weight training on Wed., Zumba on Thursday, zumba or 25 min. cardio on Friday, Body pump on Saturday, Sunday either zumba, downhill skiing, or another class.

I will have days here or there once a week where I skip my workout. It depends on how I'm feeling or what is going on in my life. I just took an athletic conditioning class and that may become a regular sunday morning thing if I don't go skiing. It involved circuits,strength sets, cardio exercises, etc. It was a full body workout with both strength and cardio components.
