Ladies, what is your workout routine?

BLady44

As in how often do you go to the gym and what do you do, for how long when you are there? I am curious. I am just getting started and am trying to both lose weight and tone up..

Thanks for any responses..

running and bootcamp. I can't do the gym. I find it very boring. Bootcamp is like recess for adults. I've made some great friends and we get to have "play dates" 3 times a week

girlie100

heavy lifting 3x a week normally about 45mins then 20mins HIIT
football training 1x a week, all cardio
then a football game 1x a week as well

(with football I mean soccer, lol)

on days off i try to fit in a little steady state cardio

Weebs628

Run 3x a week, Zumba 2x a week and dance (ballet and modern) 2x a week. I try to squeeze in some Pilates here and there too.

Right now I run at least 3 miles every other day and do 20 min of weights once or twice a week. Once the weather gets icky I'm going to switch up my runs on the treadmill with the 'Insanity' workouts.

Boot camp Tu/Thu/Fri
Cardio class at gym M-Th
Yoga Sa/Su

Once I've lost some more weight and generally improved my conditioning, I'll drop some cardio and replace with lifting. For now, I think improving my cardiovascular health is more important than improving my strength (though we do quite a bit of strength work at boot camp - but it's bodyweight and 15 lb handweights, so not lifting heavy).

Boot camp and cardio are an hour each and yoga is 75 minutes.

I LOVE to go to the classes that my gym offers. I do step aerobics, zumba, kickboxing. Grab a friend and try a class. I am a very social person so having some others who expect me to be there helps keep me motivated.

Tennis 2-3x/wk...sometimes it's a mixer which lasts for hours, or matches which can be 45-120 minutes...depending upon how fast I/we win lol.

Gym doing cardio 2-3x/wk and weights 1-2x/wk...need to keep up the weights...I tend to do them for weeks then take weeks off. I tend to start where I ended, but get that initial soreness after the first few workouts after a long hiatus. Wanna get back into free weights because I'm getting bored with the circuit.

P90x and my cardio-core elliptical....at home 5 days a week instead of 6 now....anywhere from 1-2 hours a session

I lift weights 3x per week. I try to go as heavy as I can and still keep good form.
Workouts are generally 45-60 minutes.
Sunday = legs
Tuesday = Back, Biceps, Traps & abs
Thursday = Chest, Shoulders, Triceps

I also do cardio 3x per week (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) - approx 45 minutes on the treadmill or stationary bike (depending on my mood).

I have not yet tried HIIT, but plan to try it soon.

Mon-Fri I do double workouts: AM is usually a FIRM DVD (like Get Chisel'd or Total Body Time Crunch) then PM I hit the gym to really workout:
Mon & Thursday is 15min cardio then Upper body (shoulders, back, biceps, triceps, forearms)
Tuesday & Friday are 15min cardio then Legs & Core (squats, dips, calves & deadlifts on the Smith Machine then sled machine, hams & ab-ducter & ad-ducter machines plus core-routine which includes several different ab & lower back strengthening excercises)
Wednesday is Cardio & Core Strength

If I can get out to the gym Saturday and/or Sunday I do a combo with lower weights, higher reps on full body with 30+mins cardio (fav cardio is the Arc Trainer) - if I don't make it out I do either Kickboxing or another FIRM DVD.

The key is to ease into any new routine. 3 years ago I wouldn't be able to keep up with what I do now, now I push harder each day. Cheers & good luck to you

I do ChaLEAN Extreme which is 5 nights / week (3 weight lifting sessions, 2 cardio & abs)
I also do Zumba and/or Turbo Jam 4 x 30 mins at lunchtime with the girls at the office.

I prefer working out at home I'm kind of a shy person .. no gym for me

kmillers

P90X 3 days a week
Insanity 3 days a week
Sometimes run some HIIT or hills after
Some sort of stretching once a week

microwoman999

I am 61 years old and I do strength training 2x a week for 1 hour each. I also to water aerobics 5 x a week for 1 hour each

DeMarraDontStop

Recently I workout 5 days a week, with 45 minutes of cardio and 15 minutes of strength training. Good luck on your journey!

drusilla126

I go to Curves 5 times a week. It in itself is a 1/2 hour workout and then I do 300 reverse crunches and some other stuff then their streches mixed with some yoga. Whole thing takes me about 1.5 hours.

I used to just do running 3x a week with the odd day of yoga and/or some sort of high intensity short burst workout (bodyrock).

Now I run 3-4x a week, Zumba 3x a week and TRX 2x a week. I try to do a major workout 5-6 days of the week.

I try to go to the gym at least 5 days a week - push for 6.

When I go to the gym, I do AT least 30 minutes of cardio. If I'm not pressed for time (i.e. working a double at work with only 1.5 hours in between) I actually do 15 to 20 minutes of strength training before the cardio.

Granted, this might be changing around November 1 because I have my next appointment with the trainer at my gym to do a follow up and see if I need to change my routine (I want to learn to use the hip abductor so I can begin re-training my muscles for riding horses - trainer didn't want me to do that yet when I started due to slight hip issues...).

Good luck in your journey...it's quite a trip, even at the beginning!
