ladies whats your workout routine? i need ideas!

I have an Xbox Kinect and do Zumba Rush and Dance Central 2. I like the music and dancing. Even tho I don't have a coordinated bone in my body and can't dance. At least I am moving my body. I also have some resistance type bands that I do strength training with to build some muscle to help burn more calories. Hope this helps.:flowerforyou:

I run on a treadmill for about 21 minutes.
Starting at 6kph for 1 minute, 9kph for another minute and then 12kph for the last minute, Repeat three times until I get to 21 minutes. Workouts to be 7 minutes at each speed. Then I set the incline to 10 and speed at 6 and walk without holding on to anything for the remaining 9 minutes. If it is a cardio day I will then do 10 minutes of cycling or elliptical. Followed by 10 minutes of strength training. If it is a strength day I will do 20 minutes of strength. I do this 6 times a week.

I lift weights 3 days...simple program...you will not be sorry

on the off days i do cardio/walk/yoga

I started the c25k running training program a few weeks ago. That's 3 runs a week. I swim in our apartment complex pool or tread water for an hour. I ride my bike as many places as I can. I also just started doing the Turbo Jam dvds after I picked them up at a yard sale. They are cheesy but the instructor is really enthusiastic and the time just flies.

When I get more endurance and coordination I will try Turbo Fire and the Insanity workouts. They look like they'll burn the calories away

What cranktastic said!

I race walk in the summer (average close to 30 miles a week at my peak) but in the winter I am (stuck) on the elliptical 5 days week (3 1/2 hrs/week). What I really recommend though is ChaLEAN Extreme.. Last winter I did the weight lifting portion only (3 days/week less than 40 minutes/day) and in the 90 days the program runs, I lost over 9" (most from my waist, belly, hips, and thighs) and felt extremely strong and lean. I didn't lose a single pound (had been at goal weight since April 2011) but the changes to my body was noticeable.

Lifting heavy all the way baby! (strength training Wendler's 5/3/1 at the mo... ) And I cycle everywhere as my cardio (do not own a car)...

Zumba, Dance Central and Just Dance on XBox and Wii, and I just ordered some Bollywood dance/workout DVD's on amazon, so basically... dance, dance and more dance!

I'm just beginning, so maybe my advice isn't appropriate, but I do a lot of Wii Fit workouts because it rains a lot here, so I don't always want to get outside and walk/run. Plus I'm a gamer, so the fact it's a video game motivates me. I'm hoping to get Dance Dance Revolution and/or the Zumba dance workout games this winter.

I'm a dancer, so I dance a few days a week.
I also go for walks, play Wii Fit, and I just started the 30 Day Challenge (I can tell the challenge works, I definitely feel the burn)

I ditched the bus pass and now cycle everywhere (even up the massive hills!) I paid for the platinum membership at the gym, which means I now have the luxury of picking any class that I want as it's included in the price, so do Nike training club, Total Body conditioning and also Pilates twice a week. I joined rowing club, which takes me on two water outings a week, and also has a circuit training and running sprints session every monday, plus sets us ergo (indoor rowing) machine tests 2-3 times a week. On the days where I'm just doing an ergo session (sometimes the goal is only 7 minutes) as I'm in the gym i'll hit the weights and lift some heavy stuff for a while!

Friday is rest day!

Right now I'm doing a 2nd round of Jillian Michael's Body Revolution, which is circuit training. I do that on Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri. I also add cardio afterwards (mostly Shaun T's Rockin Body or Turbo Fire HIIT). On Wed and Sat, it's purely cardio.

I also ride my bike and roller skate with my kids!

Interval training on the treadmill for atleast 30 mins.

I need to lose my last 10 lbs and get fit so could you please share what is working for you? i need ideas! thanks !

I found that I finally got in the shape I wanted by putting lifting first and cardio 2nd (you need both). And losing the fat is all about calories, calories, calories. While working out is to make your lean body mass pretty for when the fat is gone.

The routine I do consists of weight lifting first and cardio second, but I still do cardio (mainly running). I change up everything all the time. My running is sometimes long easy runs, sometimes HIIT, sometimes shorter medium pace runs. My weight routine changes each day, each week, Circuits, Intermittent Super Sets, Fibonacci Pyramids, X-sets, Progress Venus Pyramids, and some splits, constantly changing it up, everything a variety of Strength, Hypertrophy, and Endurance.

Legs; In addition to Deadlift's, Stiff Leg Dead Lifts, Sumo Dead Lifts and Squats I do Bulgarian Split Squats, Lunges, Reverse lunges, Curtsey lunges, Step Ups, Crossover Bench Step Ups, One legged Deadlifts (T-Bend), Lunge Matrix, Bowler Squat, One Legged Get Ups, Bower Squat and Calf Raise, Bowler Squat + Stiff Leg Deadlift, Curtsey Lunge + Dumbbell Squat, T-Bend + Y-Squat, Reverse Lunge & Step Up, Curtsey Lunge + Step Up, Y-squat, Narrow Stance Squat

For upper body I do Standing Shoulder Press, Standing Dumbell Curls, Lying Tricep extension, Pullovers, Bent Barbell Row, Standing lateral Raise, Standing front Raise, Curl and Press, Shoulder Press + Curl, Dips, Lying Tricep Extensions + Flyes, Venus Raise (a type of snatch), Bent Row + Standing Lateral Raise, Pullovers, Pushup + Dips, Standing Dumbbell curls + Overhead Tricep Extension, Bent Lateral Raise + Pullovers, One Arm Dumbbell row, Flyes + Pushups, Seated Curl & Tate Press, Seated Curls + Overhead Tricep Extension, Pushups, Pullovers + Dips, Bent Barbell Row, Lateral Raise + Full Front Raise, Venus Raise + Dips, Standing Dumbbell curls + Lying Tricep Extension, Upright Row + Dips, Bent Barbell Row, Flat bench Press, Incline Bench Press, Bent Row Narrow, Bent Row + Kickback,

Then some upper and lower combos; Squat and Front Raise, Step Up & Press, Step Up + Standing Shoulder Press, Squat & Press, Squat & Swing, Curtsy Lunge + Standing Shoulder Pres, T-Bend & Row, Pike Front Rais + Curtsey Lunge, Flat Bench Press + Step Up.

Core: Bar Bell Rollouts (you can start out with Stability Ball Roll Outs), Swiss Ball Pikes (you can start out with Stability Ball Curl Ups), and planks. As you advance Swiss Ball Pike and pushup.

I probably forgot some but you get the idea.

Lifting weights is KEY. I recently had my DXA scan done and at 51.5 years of age I have the bone density of a super athletic 30 year old. That is a direct result of lifting for over 30 years. Now if that is not scientific proof that lifting weights keeps you younger I don't know what is! Also I believe it is why most people think I look much younger than I really am.

Start lifting now, lift heavy and change it up often, find a lot of weight routines with free weights, make it fun, embrace it, make it part of your life. Only 3 days a week is all it would take. Crank up your tunes and learn to love it, because your body will love it and it will make your quality of life better in many ways, especially when you get older like me.

Because of this I don't have to worry about osteoporosis. If you wait until you are older and your bones start to deteriorate it's a bit too late, you can't get back what you lost, you can only start a resistance routine that will prevent further damage.

If you are a girl you don't have the hormones to get big naturally. I lift heavy and I'm still really tiny. My lean body mass is only 104 lbs and that is fairly heavy for a 5'1" female, and quite a bit of this is due to my having very dense bones from 30 years of lifting, not all muscle, and I'm still quite tiny.

My muscles really are not that big, but they show a lot of definition because I'm quite lean. If I gained some fat then I would have a softer more toned look (which is OKAY too!). Then if I gained more fat I would look bulky and hefty like I did most of my life until last year. YOU CAN HAVE WHATEVER YOU WANT. Lean and ripped, soft and toned, or hefty, it all depends on how much fat you leave on your body. Calories are the only thing that changes fat. Exercise is for changing or maintaining your lean body mass only. Lifting weights will give you the best bang for your buck for shaping your body. I finally changed my shape by putting lifting first and cardio 2nd. You cannot out exercise too many calories.
