    1- Legs
    2- Shoulders
    3- Bis and Tris
    4- Back
    5- Chest

    Rinse and repeat

    I run in the morning, lift for 60-75 min in the afternoon then hop on the star-climber, take the dogs for a 30 min walk. Everyday. I take no days off unless the gym is closed. But I double my run and walk.

    YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!

    Danke :D

    Monday through Friday - Cycling (10,15,18, or 20-30+ miles depending on the day)
    Saturday and Sunday - Rest

    I'm training for a century ride though, after the race on June 1st I'm going to go back to more of a balance between cycling and strength training, might even join a crossfit gym, we'll see.

    Right now I am doing the Gwen Roe Extreme Workout, Friday through Tuesday night. I take Wednesday off and Thursdays I walk, mow the yard with the push mower, or any number of activities that will get me up and moving for an hour or longer. If I eat a lot on one of my workout days then I add a Leslie Sansone walking dvd to my routine.

    I hit the gym 5-6 days a week. Depending on my schedule, my routine may change, but it is pretty much like this:

    Monday: 60 minute Cardio(Arc trainer, jogging, cycling, jump rope, Elliptical, etc)
    Tuesday: 45 Minute strength using only body weight(Squats, lunges, abs, push-ups, tricep dips, etc)
    Wednesday: 60 Minute Cardio
    Thursday: 50-60 minute weight lifting session
    Friday: 45-50 Cardio
    Saturday: Free day! Doing whatever I feel like at the gym!
    Sunday: Rest day with Yoga

    I also do Yoga every evening for 30 minutes to an hour but never log it as exercise because I do it more for my mind and body than for exercise.

    Great topic.... I'd like to also know how many minutes or hours people workout for..

    Me... I did Just Dance and Michael Jackaon -Wii everyday except Sundays for the last 60 days.... I started at 3 hours daily for approximately the first week or so because I was slow, out of shape and learning the moves.... Recently, I dropped it down to 2 1/2 hrs (with Callanetcs -resistance body weight exrcises). Friends and family were worried I would burn out and/or platuea even though I use to be a dancer (professional private lessons from age of 5-16, until I injuried my knees. I will gradually cut it down to 1 1/2 - 2 hrs top per day.... On Sundays, I usually clean and/or play Wii games with my hubby and kids, it is my "rest" day from working out, but I still try to do something to burn calories... Once it gets nicer outside, I will incorporate more activities, such as walking, biking and swimming...

    This Monday, (4/22/13) I switched it up a bit and now plan on doing Zumba DVD's everyday which include, Activate, Exhilarion, Rush, Ripped, Mix and Concert.... Thus, I am reducing my workouts to 1 1/2 - 2 hours daily, if I do 60 mins of Ripped with the Zumba toning sticks on an every other day bases... I LOVE to workout now because I LOVE to dance and it doesn't feel like a chore or exercise... It's a BLAST!!!!

    GL everyone.... Keep go moving!!!
