    M: Squat, Bench, Bent Over Rows (I'm using Madcow's 5x5 lifting program, minus the accessory work). Some sort of short cardio, maybe walking on the treadmill, maybe an HIIT YouTube video or kickboxing. I've recently started adding a short Pilates workout after as well, although I try to avoid hitting my legs too much. Yoga or stretching if I have time.
    T: Run (training for a 5K), an ab/Core focused workout, typically from the BeFit channel's ab program or blogilates.
    W: Squat, Dead Lift, Overhead Press, Cardio, pilates, stretching/yoga
    Th: Run, abs/core
    F: Squat, Bench, Bent Over Rows, cardio, pilates, stretching/yoga
    S: Run
    Su: Light run if I feel like it, rest

    I love Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis Abcentric. I like how it keeps changing every 10 days so I stay challenged and I never get bored. I do it 6 days a week before work.

    Cardio: 5 times a week
    Weights: 4-6 times a week (except fromm end of march to April 21 because of a cardio challenge)
    Session with trainer: 1 time a week (I get "homework"/weight lifting routines from him)

    Cardio: I prefer running - about an hour but I'll use just about any cardio machine.

    Weights: the program I'm on is similar to NROLFW - my trainer has actually been doing this for this entire 33 year career! He works primarily with women - he's current client portfolio only has 1 guy. Why? because he's been out to banish the notion that lifting makes women bulky.

    I do weights 30 mins three times a week. I do these first thing in the morning, because that is the only way I work them into my schedule. And, on my lunch break each day, I go to the gym and get on the AMT machine at lunch. Typically I get in 30 - 35 minutes on that 5 days a week.

    I took a long time off to recover from injuries done by exercising incorrectly and to excess. Now into my second decade of life, I take it easy. I like to be pain free most of all. So my goal is to do a spin class two to three times a week and do two strength classes. Four times a week works for me.

    I did the insanity program.. I didnt like that it was all cardio so when I finished that I started Chalean Extreme... LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Its weights three days a week with core and cardio 2 days.. I sneak in an extra day of cardio so Im actually doing 6x a week workout.. I have noticed the biggest difference with this program because muscle burns fat! The extra workout I do is Turbo Jam fat blaster workout Love that one too!

    Right now I am in LOVE :love: with the ARC Trainer for my cardio 3x a week... I burn more calories than the elliptical, and it is easier on my ACL (I have problems with) in my knee. I do 50 minutes (10 warm-up, and 5 min cool down included) I end up burning 700+ calories, and try for a heart rate of 150 for the 35 min between. 2x a week I strength train b/c muscle burns calories better, and 1x a week I go for yoga to stretch, and maintain good posture (sit in an office all day). I do try to change-up my routines monthly to keep my muscles guessing, and working for me.

    I am currently alternating between Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and Leslie Sansone 5 Mile Walk

    I dont have specific days or times or even preferences, I just try to move around as much as possible.

    4-5 days a week, crossfit type circuit class (dumb bells, kettle bells, tires, body weight, etc), last 45-60 minutes depending on the instructor, burning 350-450 calories per session per HRM. For being a bit ADD, it's great because I don't get bored since we don't do the same exercise for more than a minute. Also, not that our instructors are allowed to design their workouts, there's even more variety and no two workouts have been the same the past 6 weeks.

    This is my workout week schedule for this week:

    SUNDAY - Boxing + Abs
    MONDAY - Upper Body (heavy)
    TUESDAY - Legs (heavy)
    WEDNESDAY - OFF
    THURSDAY - Upper Body (hypertrophy)
    FRIDAY - Cardio + Abs
    SATURDAY - Legs (hypertrophy)

    Basically an upper/lower body split with one heavy day for each and one hypertrophy day for each. Always try to do 1-2 cardio sessions as my time allows, but lifting is my priority.

    My workouts sound so boring and normal in comparison lol.

    I do at least 30minutes but usually do 1hour of workout daily.
    I usually walk up and down stairs and/or run (if there's good weather!).
    I sometimes add in a little HIIT stairs or interval running to mix things up!
    I don't have access to a gym so the only heavy lifting I do is carrying tons of groceries and washing heavy pots and pans haha.

    I get bored easily... I switch it up between doing the elliptical (intervals), running outside, Zumba, kickboxing videos, 30 day shred, calisthenics, strength training, walking... I usually try to get in at least 30-60mins/day, with a couple days being low intensity or just stretching and rest.

    I do Insanity; 6 days a week. Toward the end of week 3 though, I twisted my ankle and had to rest. I was pissed cause i really like the program (even though I yell at him through the TV!). So I waited till the swelling went down and started back up again this week. I heard though that people tend to lose more weight in the second month. I am hoping cause I have not lost much in the first month at all.
