What's your workout?

Options
I'm curious to see what other people are doing for their workouts.

Currently I'm into Yoga and Pilates with some cardio here and there. Last month I was into cardio. Doing Yoga and Pilates I'm feeling more of a burn after in my legs and hips which I'm loving right now.

Thinking of doing pilates x3 and cardio x2 a week for 30-45 mins each.

What does your work out look like, what have you tried and what has worked the best for you?

Thanks =D

    Mine, when I can as currently I have a cold, is Cardio 6x a week for 45 minutes. I have three cardio workouts. 1) Elliptical Max Heart rate, 2) Spinning 3) Elliptical sprints. I also rotate the spinning between endurance training and strength. I also do Strength training 2x a week.

    I change up my actual workout every day, but in general it is some type of high intensity body weight exercise, and some cardio. I love full body workouts. :)

    I joined a gym recently. This is week 3. Mon-Fri I do 50-60 minutes of cardio (treadmill, elliptical, bike). Mon & Thur I add upper body machines (about 30 mins). Tues & Fri I add ab & leg machines (about 40 mins). Weekends off other than walking the dog in the neighborhood, park, etc.
    idk if that's good or not.

    :happy: Monday - Wednesday - Friday and Saturday I go to Curves and do a combination of Strength & Cardio for about 40 to 45 minutes.

    :smile: Sunday -Tuesday and Thursday I go to Anytime Fitness and use either the Recumbent Bike or Elliptical for about 30 minutes.

    I was doing 5-6 days of week of cardio, but I just added Strenght training a few weeks ago. I was doing 2 days of chalean extreme and one day of P90x, but I think the P90x is a little more difficult, so I'm changing this week to 2 days P90x and one day of Chalean. This is my new routine. I want to build muscle and I hope I can do it even though I have all this cardio.

    Monday - nothing
    Tuesday - morning: 45 Step Circuit and 20 min Zumba
    Wednesday - morning: P90x Legs/back, Abs and 15 min HIIT on the treadmill
    Thursday - morning: P90x Arms/Shoulders, Abs and 15 min HIIT
    night: minimum 3k run
    Friday - morning: 60 min Zumba
    Saturday - Mountain Hike or Run
    Sunday - Chalean Extreme burn circuit, Abs

    I honestly try to mix it up with a lot of different workouts. Some Chalean Extreme for weights, Turbofire for cardio, and RevAbs so I can have those rock hard abs that I know are under there. I have about a 4 pack going! Not bad for 54 years old!

    My main and favorite form of exercise is racquetball twice a week. I sometimes do calisthenics at home or go for a long walk. If I ever find a good place to hike, I'd love to pick it up again. Other than that I try aerobics classes with my sis-in-law, like spinning and kickboxing.
