    Mine is pretty general.... I try to go for a run 3 days a week.
    2 days a week, I walk a couple miles over my work lunch break.
    I ride horse one day a week.
    And I NEED to start working in some weight training.
    As to which days a week - it really depends on what all I have going on. :)

    I generally do 3 days strength/cardio intervals for 45-60 min and 2 to 3 days 45-60 min cardio. I like to take Friday and Saturday off but if I need a rest sooner than that I take it. Every month or so I take a week and do low intensity to moderate workouts, walking or yoga, sometimes step videos.

    Depends on what your goals are...right now I'm training for a half marathon, so I'm following Hal Higdon's Novice1 which looks like this:

    Monday - Strength Training (I usually circuit train)/Stretching
    Tuesday - Run
    Wednesday - Short run
    Thursday - Run + Strength Training (I usually circuit train)
    Friday - Rest (I usually stretch and I still walk with my neighbor)
    Saturday - Cross Training (I usually bike)
    Sunday - Long run

    What I was doing before:

    Monday - Circuit training
    Tuesday - Short run (3-5 miles)
    Wednesday - Circuit training
    Thursday - Short run (3-5 miles)
    Friday - Circuit training
    Saturday - Long run (5-9 miles)
    Sunday - Rest or a walk

    M: Chest and calves, 20 mins HIIT
    T: Legs (Quad focus) and Back + 30 min steady cardio
    W: Glutes + 20 mins HIIT + 30 min steady cardio
    Th: Arms and Core + 30 steady cardio
    F: Legs (Ham Focus) and Shoulders + 20 HIIT
    Sat: Active Rest (an hour or so of SOMETHING- tennis, walking, volleyball yardwork)
    Sun: Bonus workout, usually: hang cleans, DL, SL DL, OH Press, Back Exts etc..

    This is my IDEAL weekly workout (during traveling weeks sometimes things are rearranged/combined).. though I'm trying to feed in some extra cardio to get my BF% down..

    I work out around my class and work schedule. Typically, MWF morning, TTH afternoon, and the weekends. I will take 1 or 2 days off a week, depending on my workload. Most of it is cardio, some strength training probably 3 days of the week.

    I teach a few group fitness classes & do my own stuff around that..

    Monday: Cardio then teach Aqua
    Tuesday: teach Body Pump (which is long sets, lower weights) & strength legs after
    Wednesday:
    Thursday: teach Body Pump AM, teach Body Attack PM
    Friday: Rest
    Saturday: teach Body Attack
    Sunday:

    Wednesdays & Sundays I see how I feel... I have to listen to my body considering the 5 classes I teach... but I will slot in something for myself, whether I can do a full, hard workout or need a more relaxed, Body Balance or something similar to stretch out..
