Mamalea32

Mon to fri i do 45 min. Of strength training and 1 hour cardio. Saturday i take a break sunday i do a little running (20 min) and 1 hour of pilates. I love my workouts very much and dont mind waking up at the crack of dawn to fit them into my working mom schedule.:happy:

4 to 6 hours a week will keep you healthy. But if u want a kick *kitten* appearance add a half hour per day.:bigsmile:

Omg everyone here seems to be riDONKulous!

I didn't start off very big to begin with (UK size 14 - I don't use scales due to a past disorder), almost 3 weeks into dedicated diet and exercise and I'm thinking one more week before I have to swap my size 14 trousers for a 12 (Woohoo!).

I do 30DS followed by 10 mins at 4.0 - 5mph on my treadmill 4x a week.
I also do the 30 day squat challenge and ab challenge every day except for on the scheduled rest days.

I wish that I could be as awesome as some of the folks in this thread, but for me, I work out as often as my schedule allows. Some weeks, I can get 4- 5 days in. Some weeks, I'm lucky if I can get one day in. A couple of years ago, I was working out 6 days a week with a combo of weights and cardio. I felt awesome and looking back at the pictures, I looked good too (despite not seeing much of a move on the scale.) I'd like to get back to that point after this work project ends, but until then, I'll just do what I can when I can.

I try to go to the gym every day and am there for nearly 2 hours.
On Tuesdays I also play up to an hour of tennis and Fridays I play indoor football (soccer) for 40 minutes.
Might go and start football training as well.

I run 1-3 times a week, take a dance class or meet my friends for a dance session once a week if possible, and walk quite a lot during the rest of the week. I've slipped into maintaining at the moment by accident, so I need to shake up the exercise a bit. need to dust off the kinect at some point and do some zumba or UFC trainer.

BeautifulBrownButterfly

I walk home from work mon-fri 60min walk and then when i get home i try to add another dvd workout at least 20-30 mins going for 30.

htotheeather

i do turbo kickboxing (TKB) 2-3 times a week (60 minutes), body combat 2 days per week (60 minutes), and use the stationary bike for 40 minutes 4 days a week.
i really need to up the weight lifting though...

padackllins

At the minute I'm doing basics like push-ups, sit-ups, squats, etc at home every day for about 20 minutes, but I'm starting to go for runs every few days. I say runs.. More like half jogging, half crawling :P I also do roller derby training once a week for 2 hours.
Not a lot but it's the most I can do without feeling like I'm gunna vomit at this point

JazzieG13

3x week - run/sprint 41 flights stairs up, then 41 flights down in my office building
4x week - treadmill or outdoor running - 2 to 2 1/2 miles each session
4x week - 4 sets 25 alternating ab crunches
2x week - just signed up for bootcamp because I realize that I haven't concentrated on strength-training at all this winter

Abells

Dang, I thought I was getting in good workouts, you people are rockin it!!!!!!!!! Now I feel a bit inadequate!!!

Brookesworld104

I have to agree with some previous posters that everyone needs SOME rest. Spinning every day? Yeesh...

Ok so I typically workout 4 to 5 days per week. 4 days I do combo Lifting/Cardio. I mix up the order but one day is Chest/Tris, One day Back/Bi's , One day shoulders/calves and one day legs

My cardio is typically 30-40 minutes unless I take a 60 Minute Spin class. I will do 30-35 mins on the Stepmill or a 30-35 minute run on random hill setting with sprints.

I also like to mix up sometimes and do some tabatas or HIIT.

If I go 5 days, one day is strictly cardio.

olDave

My goal is 30 minutes of bike riding five times a week. I usually exceed that by quite a bit. Just checked my history and have been averaging seven hours per week.

Daily-- if I don't workout to the point where I am physically tired then I'll have too much energy to fall/ stay asleep.

Usually I run, if the weather is nice then I'll swim. I try for an hour of either. On days where I have time I'll run for an hour or so then swim for a bit. I also try to get in aerobics or pilates (dvds or I'll look up new things online) in the every morning and I do strength training every night before I get ready for bed (arms, thighs, abs and legs). And then of course, taking the dog out for her walks (1-2 hours a per day)

ChantiC

Monday: Upper body and cardio
Tuesday: Lower Body and cardio (going to try light Yoga in the evenings next week)
Wednesday: None or just cardio
Thursday: Upper and cardio
Friday: Lower and cardio
Saturday: Cardio
Sunday: Off

Things change up from week to week but this is the general thing I do.

quirkyone1

Crossfit 5 times per week. On my "rest days" I'm usually playing floor hockey, kickball, or getting in a long walk or short run.

PamelaGatorMom

5 or 6 times a week, I have a hectic schedule with 2 kids playing sports and working full time, but I manage 2 bodypump classes a week and at least 3 more days a week for an hour of cardio, one of those days I add the weight machine & do 30 min cardio.

Once I reach my goal weight my plan is 2 days bodypump 2 days cardio.

mmctaw

Nothing is set in stone but I try to do the following every week:

1A. Heavy Lifting x 3 days
- OR -
1B. Body Weight Exercises 60 min (only when heavy weights are unavailable) x 3-4 days
2. Walking 60 min x 5 days/week
3. Calisthenics* (e.g. pushups) x 3-4 days
* = I primarily use the Runtastic Pushup Pro app to help me reach my goal of doing 100 consecutive pushups

Sometimes I do all of this, sometimes I do less but as long as I'm doing something I'm happy. I also used to jog and do extended cardio (e.g. elliptical, stair treadmill) 3-5 times a week but stopped doing that as they weren't consistent with my current fitness goals.

One hour of Zumba on Tuesday nights. I was bowling for 1.5 hours every Thursday night, but the season ended (I'll take it back up again in the Fall). I will be starting softball soon (whenever it decides to stop snowing in MN!!!). So, that will be probably 1.5 hours of practice a week, as well as double-header games every Thursday night (approximately 3-3.5 hours of playing). I've been working in 1-2 mile-long walks in w/a friend and my dog. I've gone from doing nothing to getting back into everything I love now that my schedule allows it. I know I'm starting off slow, but every little bit helps. I would like to walk more (mile-long walks every day), but the weather up here right now just can't make up its mind! :laugh:

I do shorter workout sessions 2X a day. I have a 2 year old and an almost 5 month old, so short and going hard are the key for me!

In the morning I do whatever video I am doing at the time, right now it's Jillian Michaels RI30 (about 30 minutes). Then, in the late afternoon/early evening, I will do HIIT on the elliptical (varying degrees of resistance) for 24 minutes.

When I am able to, and when it's not mega windy outside (which isn't often), I like to go for a 2 mile run instead of the elliptical. I am trying to up my miles, but it's slow going since a run outside is few and far between.
