How often do you work out? What's your typical weekly schedule, including the type of exercise?

Just curious what other people are doing... (:

    I do insanity about four days a week, some other random workout dvd one other day and on the weekends I'll go hiking at the greenbelt or running around my neighborhood. Insanity is so hard and I was given burned dvd's from a friend so I'm not doing the whole plan, just mixing up the workouts. There are some I can't finish but I'm working up to them.

    MONDAY - Legs (heavy)
    TUESDAY - Abs
    WEDNESDAY - Kettlebell
    THURSDAY - OFF
    FRIDAY - Upper Body (hypertrophy)

    Right now I'm working out three days a week doing NROLW. I may re-add some lighter cardio once an injury heals.

    Every day. I might take a day off completely a couple of times a month. I run 30-40 miles and do three sessions of strength stuff at the gym (usually in conjunction with one of my shorter runs).

    I do a morning routine for 15 mins, cardio and stretching

    I find whatever excuse I can to go for a walk.

    At night I do between 15 and 30 mins of cardio, strength training and then I walk/jog on my treadmill for 30 mins.

    And 3 times a week I go to the gym with a friend.

    No set schedule for workouts...

    Monday thru Friday, I go to the gym (or out for a walk) for 45-50 minutes. We do workout videos, stairs/stairmill, elliptical, stationary bike, weights, treadmill workouts, and/or a combo of a few things in a day. The only constant is that we do try to do weights 3 times a week - one day for legs, one day for abs and one day for upper body/arms

    On the weekends, now that it's nicer out, I try to go for a run or long walk at least one of the days and rest the other.

    I'm currently on the injured list, but usually I do spinning 6-7 days a week, I walk at least one hour 3-5 times a week, and right before being take out of action, I was supposed to be starting C25K and 30DS. D'oh!

    As an aside, for those who don't do a lot of cardio - I haven't changed much in the way I've been eating since being inactive (minus a few extra carbs to help absorb the horrible antibiotics I had to take) but without cardio for over 2 weeks now, I am noticing some negative changes in my body shape! Cardio is really important! I didn't realize until I couldn't do it anymore. Sitting on your tushy is really bad for your body. O.o

    Nearly every day...

    Sunday - Run between 6 to 11 miles
    Monday - DVD (strength training or Rockin' Body)
    Tuesday - Spin Bike
    Wedneday - 3 mile run
    Thursday - Rest
    Friday - Run between 3 to 4.5 miles
    Saturday - If I'm not hiking/snowshoeing/or outdoors in general, then a DVD

    I also walk on my breaks at work, so I walk between 2 to 5 miles a day doing that. And if I'm not busy in the evening I will hit a one or two Zumba classes during the week.

    M: Squat, Bench, Bent Over Rows (5x5 program), 10 minutes or so of Pilates and/or 10-20 minutes of cardio if I am up to it.
    Tu: Run per my 5K training schedule, core workout, yoga/stretching
    W: Squat, Deadlift, Over Head Press, 10 minutes or so of Pilates and/or 10 -20 minutes of cardio if I am up for it.
    Th: Same as Tuesday
    F: Same as Monday, although my reps are different
    Sa: Run per my 5K training schedule
    Sun: Rest, maybe a light run

    Once my 5K, then my 10K for this summer are done, I'll likely scale my runing back to 2 days a week, or make one of my run's lightre (if I still do a Saturday run). I workout in the AM before work, at home, during the week and whenever I get around to it on Saturday and/or Sunday. I also like to put on music and dance or play a dance game on the PS3 with my kids for something "extra".

    I average about 4 days per week for about an hour. Most of the time, I will run and use the elliptical for 30 minutes on each. Other days, I'll occasionally throw in some boxing/circuits at Title Boxing, weights/circuits with the hubby, and Jillian Michaels/Chalean either by myself or with a friend. I change it up depending on my mood.

    I thought I did ok with 4-6 days a week for an hour but I think I need to up my game a little in comparison to everyone out there. I have issues with binge eating and my exercise is keeping my stable I guess. I just feel like I am a chronically tired person too. Blarg. Good job everyone!
