    right now its

    40min insanity dvd
    fallowed with 15 min Kettlebell workout dvd (Bob Harpers dvd)
    and a 5-10 min cool down on either my treadmill or elliptical

    Sundays are rest days

    Once insanity is finished I want to add in somemore heavy weights and the weather should be nice enough that I can get my heavy bag set back up ( LOVE my heavy bag )

    I aim to workout 5 days/week. I am following New Rules of Lifting so 3 days a week are multiple compound lifts with heavy weights followed by some HIIT on the treadmill. The other 2 days I do some sort of cardio such as running, kickboxing, dancing or whatever I feel like.

    1/2hour elliptical with 10 min intervals fast/ slow 30 secs each
    1/2 hour rowing with 10 min intervals fast/slow 30 seconds each sometimes 1/2 hour turns into 45 min if I can fit it in.

    On elliptical i can get really bored so I use hand weights to workout arms while I go backwards with my eyes closed for balance, crazy, I know, but it's more fun! ( don't try this at home kids ; )

    Then I do yoga, depending on how much time I have it can go on up to an hour. 20 minutes is minimum though. i love to stretch it out...

    On beautiful days I sometimes go nordic walking which is GREAT! Too bad they don't have it in the database 'cause it's a really excellent workout.
    Cheers!

    I am a stay-at-home mom, so getting out is difficult for me. Right now, this is what I am doing and it has been great for me!

    M-F: Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30 during naptime
    Treadmill 30-45 minutes in the evenings after the kids have gone to bed
    Saturday: family hike or treadmill intervals.

    Sunday is my day off :)

    brandicalorie,

    Does your ticker really say 125lbs LOST?! That is AWESOME! It's crazy how some of you have lost that weight. Awesome. My wife has another 50+/- of 75 she's working on. I can't imagine what 100+ lbs must feel like.


    My workout routine usually looks like this everyday. No set day for rest. Depends on how I'm feeling.

    20-30 minutes warm up on a treadmill walking or light jogging
    45-75 minutes of lifting, different everyday obviously
    30-60 minutes of cardio of some kind, elliptical, jogging, stairmaster, etc..

    It's different for each individual, but a female friend from the gym says she's made more positive changes following a similar ideal than she saw when focusing on group exercises like Step, Zumba, etc..

    Wake up.

    Run for an hour to 2.5 hours, mostly easy, sometimes faster, sometimes even faster. Some days, run another 30 to 45 minutes.

    Repeat.
