What is your weekly exercise schedule?
Replies
-
2 days of strength training (one in a class and one with a trainer)
3-4 days of Bikram yoga (cardio, strength and flexiblility in one session!).0 -
I basically rotate through something like this:
* Lift Day: Stronglifts 5x5
* Cardio Day: run, bike, swim, hill hike, walk. Distance and pace will depend on how much time I have that day and my energy levels. If I'm in need of a rest day, this is when I'll do it by getting active-rest with just a walk or very easy and shorter bike ride or run.
* HIIT Day: Fartlek-run, kickboxing, spinning class, running up/down stadium stairs and doing sprints on the track, or walking up/down stairs or hills with a weighted pack at alternating fast/slower speeds, and maybe some plyometrics
* Cardio Day: see above
* Lift Day: see above
and then it starts over again.
Actually, just started this particular routine as I was having a tendency to get very fatigued from overtraining by doing too many HIIT-style days a week. And I like the variety.
If it works out, I'll occasionally throw a yoga session in there as I need to make myself do some good stretching more often.0 -

Right now I am doing Turbo Fire* and going by their schedule as much as possible. I'm on week 8.
In addition to that I do squats, leg lifts, pushups and tricep dips regularly, and weights (dumbells) less regularly. As soon as the weather warms up a little more, I'll add hiking and running back in. And once I finish Turbo Fire, I think I'm going to try Insanity.
*Turbo Fire is primarily high impact cardio - a combination of HIIT (plyometrics mostly) and steady state - but also includes strength (body weight and resistance bands) and stretch (yoga).0 -
My schedule is subject to change but this is what I like to do at the moment.
Mon - 45min Kellebells
Tues - 90 min Karate class
Wed - 45 min Kettlebells
Thurs -90 min Karate class
Fri - 45 min Kettlebells
Sat - work in my yard (chopping wood)
Sun-rest for the most part
As soon as it warms up I will be riding my bike for 30mins or so each day as well. Weekends, longer.0 -
I'm on week 2 of Les Mills Combat so it's full cardio 3 X / week, HIIT 2 X / week (1 weight training, 1 plyometrics ) then 1 X alternating upper and lower body power workouts so that makes 6 days, Saturday is a rest day.

Do the Gilad Total Body workout. I'm sure you can find his shows on the fitness channel. That will work out everything in about 30 min. He is easy to follow and very encouraging during the entire workout.0

Strength train/lift heavy four days a week in my garage, alternating with upper body/lower body. Then Saturday and Sunday I do a full body class called Orange Theory, I suppose similar to a boot camp or cross fit class. Rest one day.0

I'm mostly cardio as well but do a few strength training exercises and I like to think of high resistance on a stationary bike as a bit of strength for my legs. Here's my schedule:
Monday: Gym session - usually treadmill and stationary bike
Tuesday: No workout - placement day
Wednesday: Zumba Toning - 30-40 minutes of Zumba dancing and 15-20 mins of strength using hand weights (squats, lunges and a bit of ab work)
Thursday: No workout - uni and work at night
Friday: Spinning and ab blast (15 mins of intense cardio work straight after spinning) at night
Saturday: Another gym session, same as Monday usually.
Sunday: No workout - working all day and catching up with uni work at night0 -

bike- 20 minutes
eliptical- 20 minutes
