Ladies, what is your workout routine?

Monday: Cardio on the stairmill for about 30 minutes. 65 steps/minute for the first 3 minutes, 70 steps/minute for 12 minutes and increasing at 5 steps per minute every 2 minutes until I get to 105 steps/minute or I run for 30 minutes depending on my mood.
Tuesday: Heavy lifting day with a trainer
Wednesday: Cardio on stairmill or treadmill depending on my mood
Thursday: Lift with trainer but more of a cardio type workout but there are some heavy weights in there depending on how "mean" he feels like being to me
Friday: Heavy Lifting day with trainer
Saturday: Lifting with a trainer but more of a cardio type workout
Sunday: either a rest day or I do cardio depending on how sore I am
All of my workouts are about 30-45 minutes.
I workout with one trainer 2 days a week and I also lift with another trainer who is a friend. I try to have one rest day a week but sometimes that doesn't happen. I'm 5'10", 145lbs and 18.5% body fat. I have been maintaining this weight and body fat since August. I eat about 1700 to 1800 calories a day. It seems to work for me :happy:0 -
I workout at the gym 5 days a week, every day I lift heavy for about 30-45 min, followed by 20-30 min cardio on the treadmill or elliptical. I finish off with 15-20 min in the sauna (not sure if that helps but I like to think it does). Sometimes I'll change it up for the 5th day and just do a yoga class or go hiking.0

Nike Training Club (free app!) 3 days a week, 30 -- 45 minutes with the heaviest weights I can handle or each move, rotating through legs, back, shoulders, arms, etc. - tons of great workouts in that app. Usually followed by 20 minutes of cardio with Kickbox Fast Fix (Jillian MIchaels DVD).
The other three days I get out and run an average of 3.5 miles.
Rest at least one day every week.0 -
I have been doing NROLFW for a bit now. Just finished Stage 2.
Weight training 3 x per week
When it was nice out I had 2-3 days a week of running 5k and/or tennis.0 -
heavy lifting 3x/week (New Rules of Lifting for Women) (45-90 minutes usually incl. stretching & warmup)
cardio 2-3x/week (usually HIIT, jogging/walking, and/or elliptical, sometimes 10 minutes on the rowing machine).0 -
3 days a week strength training, rotating which areas I focus on. Currently following Les Mills, high reps... workouts range from 30 to 55 mintues.
3 days a week running (training for Disney Princess Half Marathon), following every run I do a 20 minute stretch/yoga type video.
I've done a ton of workout routines over the last two years, loving the balance of strength and cardio training0 -
Bumping..for some new ideas!0

I mostly listen to my body to decide what I'm going to do each day but it's generally...
Heavy lifting 3-5x a week (sometimes with a P90X video)
HIIT running 2x a week
Rest when I feel I need it
Oh. And I ride horses.0 -
I've been into fitness for about 5 or 6 years now, so I vary it to mix things up.
When I first started I used to go to Body Attack 3 times a week.
Nowadays and average week for me would be something like:
Monday - Body Attack
Tuesday - Gym
Wednesday - Body Attack
Thursday - Metafit and Gym
Friday - Metafit and Gym or Body Attack
Saturday - Usually a rest day if I'm working for most of the day or else Body Attack in the morning
Sunday - Gym
But as I say, I don't have this set in stone. If I feel like a change I'll go out on my bike or go swimming instead. Similarly if I'm feeling it in my joints after too many hard workouts I'll switch up to swimming or cycling to give them a rest. Just started the C25K programme as well and just fitting that in around my existing workouts.0 -
RIght now I am doing P90X and am in my third week. Prior to that I did boot camp classes 3 x a week but found it expensive and difficult to make it to the gym as the classes were from 6 to 7 and 20 minutes from my house. When I am done with this work out routine I'm going to do the 30-day shred and then back to P90X again0

Right now doing Jillian Michael's Body Revolution:

Sometimes will walk 18 holes of golf or ride on the weekends.
Really enjoying JM videos...can get 'em done in 35 min or less. Great calorie burn. Want to step it up a notch after completing this though...0 -
I started slow on a treadmill for 15-20 minutes 4 days a week. Almost 2 years have gone by and now I run 6-7 miles for at least an hour or more AND I do water exercises in the pool for an hour 6 days a week. I then treat myself to the hot tub for 20 min and then shower. All this takes about 3 hours everyday 8AM to 11AM (except Sunday) . I am lucky to have the time to do this and I have come to realize that the way I feel after makes it all wothwhile.0

I've just started BootCamp which is basically heavy-duty circuit training. 10 minutes hard treadmill, 5 minutes Weights, 5 minutes body weight resistance (give or take), back to treadmill, repeat for 50 minutes (5 minutes warm up and cool down on each end). Kicking my trash, but AMAZINGLY effective!0

Everyone here seems to do so much!! I find it really hard to do any more than i'm currently doing, I work all day and have a family and house to run and I only manage 60-90 mins a day 7 days a week doing a dvd ( pump it up or davina) and weights a few times a week ( in the middle of the workout)0
-
Insanity 6 days a week...running in the am, 2-3 times a week around 3 miles....one week left in the first round. Then a recovery week before I restart because I slacked in deciding what to do next.0
-
Never did the gym thing-started with jillian michaels dvd's-then moved up to p90x and haven't turned back since-currently doing a hybrid of p90x and p90x2 6 days a week0
-
3X per week lifting heavy
2X per week cardio-circuit training, kickboxing, etc
1X per week intense, short HIIT-usually treadmill intervals
2X per week core workout
2 rest days
It all average out to about 45 minutes per day.0 -

When I get back on my schedule (had to take some time off to go on vacation... and now I need to recover from vacation) I will be:
Mon/Wednesday/Friday: Running for 30 minutes + 15 minutes arm exercises (calisthenics)
Tues/Thursday: Biking for 30 minutes + 15 minutes core and leg exercises (calisthenics)
Sometimes I skip Wednesday if I feel tired, sometimes I do stuff on the weekends if I feel like it. But this is my basic schedule. I might add a workout DVD to my schedule soon, in addition to what's seen above.0 -
I do cardio 3X (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday) per week (currently Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire). I just do whatever DVD I feel like based on the time it takes. I alternate the shorter and longer ones.
I do resistance/calisthenic DVDs 6X per week, alternating my upper and lower body. I have an extensive collection and do what I'm in the mood for, again based on time, again alternating longer and shorter sessions.
My workouts average from 20-40 minutes on days that are strictly resistance and 40-90 minutes on days when I do resistance and cardio. It depends on what workouts I choose on a given day. I try to keep days where my workouts go more than an hour to once or twice a week.0 -
Typical Routine:
Monday 60M Group Power
Tuesday 3mi run
Wednesday 20-30m of Speedwork on treadmill (usually comes out to 2-2.5mi) + 30M Group Core
Thursday 5mi run
Friday off
Saturday 60M Group Power 30M Group Core
Sunday long run, milage depending on next race
I switch these around but try to do 2 of each Group Core and Group Power, 3 runs, and 1 speedwork on treadmill. Sometimes I double up and do an am and pm workout and have more days off. I am going to try to add Zumba on saturdays, haven't been to Zumba since the beginning of summer due to training for a half marathon, really want to try to get back!0 -
Weights 3x per week.
Chest, shoulders, triceps
Back, biceps, abs
Legs
Run 3-4x per week C25K
Ice skate 1-3x/week.
Stretch after all.
One total rest day per week when I do nothing.0 -
I go to the gym 5-6 days a week for about one to two hours.
The week will typically look like:
sunday: Quads
Monday: back
Tuesday: chest
Thursday: hamstrings
Friday: shoulders
I might throw in 20-30 min of cardio a day or two in the week.0 -
I typically run on an every other day schedule with getting in an average of 25-45 min. during the week and 45-90 min. on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. When I am there I do almost all cardio during the week and then on my longer days I try to do cardio and circuit training.0

Hi
I start my workout at 5 or 6 in the morning
Which begins with a warm up of stretching , then jumping jacks, and jumping rope After 15 minutes, I start with the treadmill at a 13.0 incline, with a 3.5 or 4.5 speed for 60 minutes .This burns 281 calories. Afterwards I do 5 minutes of Strength training. In the evening I do 50 sit ups and a 30 minute run.
Hope this helps.0
