I look at my WEEKS more than my days when I'm assessing my exercise...
Zumba 1 hour 2-4 times a week
Strength 30-45 minutes 1-3 times a week, depending on how much other stuff I've been doing
And by other stuff I mean adding in:
Jillian Michaels videos
Walks/jogs
Hiking or Swimming... In summer, since I don't have access to a pool
I'd like to add that I should be /will be adding more strength, I just am way into Zumba right now so after I'm wiped from that I get lazy. Quite honestly0 -
I do 6 days a week of strength training for about 30-45 minutes or so depending on what part I'm working that day... I also do 3-4 days of cardio, typically 25-30 minutes alternated between treadmill, jump rope, or elliptical.0

During weight loss last year, I was doing 5-6 hours of elliptical or treadmill cardio per week and no strength. Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I do about 1.5-2 hours of cardio/strength (calisthenics) per week and about the same amount of yoga on alternating days. I intend to get into running again soon, so that will change. I like my routine these days.0

I workout 4-6 days a week at 30 minutes each. I do Jillian's Michael's DVDs, which is a combination of strength training and cardio
Maybe once a week I go on a 30 minute walk. I also do P90X Ab Ripper X a few times a week.

I like my current routine but I'm always interested in seeing what others do. My questions are 1) How many days a week do you do cardio and strength training. 2) How long are your cardio and strength sessions? 3) What's your go to strength and cardio exercise?
1) I do cardio every single day, but the intensity is always varied. On my hard cardio days, I'll go for a half hour-45 minute run. On my weight training days, it's an easy 15 minute jog for a warmup beforehand. On rest days, I always take my dogs for a good 2 hour long walk, or sometimes, I'll just do an easy 20 minute jog.
2) My strength sessions are usually about an hour long. I lift heavy weight, so I burn out pretty quickly, but I have a lot of different exercises that I like to do, each one targeting a different area. Back/shoulders, biceps/triceps, Legs/abs.
3) Strength-wise, I'm a sucker for the bench press and anything to do with triceps. I LOVE working my tri's and back. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! And I'm finally at the point where I adore running. If I'm having a bad day, I'd sooner skip a strength workout and do a run than miss out on that. I have fun running now, which makes the time fly.0 -
I love running, outdoors when I can. Between HIIT intervals, and steady 6.0 to 6.5 mph I try for at least 15 miles a week.
I also love to weight train, but right now only get in maybe a total of 60 minuites a week. Unless you count my job. When my husband needs my help with his retaining wall business, that can be a day of lifting and moving 45 lb blocks around. I call that my extra credit!0 -
I go to the gym three days a week.
Day 1: 35 min of cardio
Biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest, and lower back (3 sets of 12 reps, varying weights)
Day 2: 35 min of cardio
Triceps, biceps, glutes (3 sets of 12 reps, varying weights)
Day 3: 35 min of cardio
Glutes, quads, hips (3 sets of 12 reps, varying weights)0 -
this is what my week looks like
lunch after work
m spinning crossfit
t zumba crossfit
w crosfit bowling
th zumba crossfit
f crossfit
s crossfit
su rest
spinning and zumba are each 50 minutes are are relatively low intensity (i could say a few words at a time during the work out)
crossfit is 40-60 minutes total consisting of a high intensity circut lifting portion that lasts no longer than 8-25 minutes. The rest of the crossfit work out is warm up, cool down, and strength of near max at few reps (4 sets of 4 at 80% of max for example)
I've had great success with this. My lunchtime work outs are mostly to just break up the day in an office chair.0 -

Five days a week I do:
30 mins of cardio. 25 mins of strength training.
I am going to up my cardio soon to 60 mins.
I have lost 2 1/2 inches off my waist since the start of Feb.0 -
I run on the treadmill for 30 minutes 6 days a week and lift weighted balls when I'm at work just sitting around with nothing else to do. Not a ton, but it works for me.0

Strength: 4x a week. Just under an hour each time.
Cardio: None, apart from walking everywhere in daily activity.
Go to exercise: Squats are great. They work your whole body, and are massive calorie burners!0 -
I do three days of cardio at an hour each time, which cnsist of me doing a workout video at home 2 days per week and one day is spent horseback riding. I also do and three days of strength training of about 40-45 minutes, and am currently doing the 5x5 Strong Lifts program. I also take my dog out for an hour walk at least three days a week, and try to squeeze in other general items, such as housework, walking to errangs such as the grocery store or other leisure activities that involve some type of physical activity.0

Well.
I do C25K 3-4 times per week. <<< I'd recommend C25K
I try and walk on the beach at least once.
I also try and climb the biig hill near my house at least once.
And I do hockey for 45mins on a Thursday
So that's 6-7 things, but sometimes I do two on one day and have a rest day in between. It's just how I can fit it into my timetable.0 -
Pure cardio 5x a week about 45 mins to 1 hour, add an extra day if there is nice weather and the whole family goes bike riding for a couple of hourse.
Weight training 5x a week any where from 30 minutes to 1 hour.0
