    I don't have a set schedule. I do cardio 6-7 days a week, but it varies what type. When the weather is nice I love to hike, but I also sometimes run or walk. At home I have Zumba and Turbo Fire DVDs and a treadmill and a step (for step aerobics). I do calisthenics and plymometrics mostly for strength trainging, and occasionally I'll lift weights. I used to bike but haven't done that in ages. I'm going to try to get back to that this spring.

    I like to mix it up because I get bored doing the same every day/week. And if I get bored, I'll quit.

    ^ Me too. Today I will be shoveling snow. I like to run, skateboard, basketall, tennis, swim, bike, hike, walk, run stairs, step and floor aerobics, racquetball, calesthenics, the list goes on. You name it, I'll do it. Also, I'm currently doing the hundred pushups challenge. Schedule? I don't have one, but I exercise 5-6 days a week.

    There is an app for your phone by Bodybuilding.com that will list the different exercises by body part and even give an overview or video on how to do them. You can also check out their website. Very good info on there for building a strength training routine.

    I love cardio. I admit it. I am a cardio junkie. I do some form of cardio everyday but at least 3(usually 4) times a week I start out with an hour of strength training. Working arms one day and legs another. Even an entire seperate day for abs.

    For cardio I run every other day. In between those days I do Spin classes, or the stair master. I don't do the elliptical as much these days as I once did but it is also a great tool for cardio and better for the knees that higher impact cardio like running.

    On days that I have errands to run or I have alot to do with kids events etc, then I do my stair stepper machine or push ups and that kinda thing. If I know I'm gonna be home for awhile then I rotate doing Billy Blanks Bootcamp-Ab Bootcamp, Billy Blanks Jr-Dance Party Bootcamp, Shaun T beach body Hiphop Abs, Kettlenetics with Kettlebells. If i'm super super busy I just try to dance a little with the music in the car and park a little further away at my desitination so I have to walk and walk fast wherever I am headed to get a little bit of excercise in. And make sure to drink alot of water all the time. I wanna get a Bodybeam eventually and I would like to try the sweatin in the spirit dvds cuz it has great music and its like a 55min workout I think it'd be fun.

    I do at least 15-30 Minutes of Abs everyday. But my schedule is as follows.

    Monday: Zumba 60mins ,& Max Factor 60mins

    Tuesday: Max Factor 120mins

    Wed: Zumba 60mins

    Thursday: Max Factor 120mins

    Friday: Rest Day

    Saturday: Zumba 60mins

    Sunday: Rest Day

    Max Factor is similiar to a bootcamp. We alternate days, but it usually consists of weight training, legs, arms, & running.


    Honestly, I have seen much difference in the scale, but in the last 3 weeks alone I've lost 2 1/2 inches off of my waist.

    When it stops snowing, I'll go back to walking 3 to 5 miles outside for my cardio. Also, sometimes lifting takes longer than an hour if I'm watching a movie. I do it all at home and like to watch action flicks while I pump iron for motivation. :blushing:

    I ride the bike and lift every other day. I try not to lift two days in a row. On the days I don't ride the bike, I swim about 30 minutes. I try to limit my workouts to 40 minutes because I have a bus to catch. Weekends I try to get a workout in, but if I don't, I "double up" (both swimming and stationary bike and lifting) on Monday and catch a later bus. I've also been doing 100 push-ups a day.

    Sunday - Zumba or Kickboxing
    Monday - Stronglifts 5x5
    Tuesday - Zumba
    Wednesday - Stronglifts 5x5
    Thursday - Rest
    Friday - Stronglifts 5x5
    Saturday - Zumba


    wow, when you lay it out like that... it looks like i have a pretty boring schedule, but i love it. Zumba is never the exact same from one time to the next especially when you have different instructors for the most part, and stronglifts rotates between Workout A and Workout B.

    I do karate 6 days a week, which I consider a little strength and a lot cardio, thanks to some ankle and wrist weights I use, and then alternate sumo squats/frog hops and pushups/free weights every other day, and throw in ab exercises every few days.
