I try to do a daily walk, somethimes short some-times longer.
My condition was so bad that i started with 10 minutes max.1 -
1hr cycling 5 days a week (work commute).
1hr weight training 3 days per week.
Hiking at weekends and yoga/stretching once or twice a week.0 -
I do insanity about four days a week, some other random workout dvd one other day and on the weekends I'll go hiking at the greenbelt or running around my neighborhood. Insanity is so hard and I was given burned dvd's from a friend so I'm not doing the whole plan, just mixing up the workouts. There are some I can't finish but I'm working up to them.0

This weeks workout schedule:
SUNDAY - Upper Body (heavy) + Spinning
MONDAY - Legs (heavy)
TUESDAY - Abs
WEDNESDAY - Kettlebell
THURSDAY - OFF
FRIDAY - Upper Body (hypertrophy)
SATURDAY - Abs
Obviously lifting is my primary focus. Usually do 1-2 cardio sessions a week.0 -
Right now I'm working out three days a week doing NROLW. I may re-add some lighter cardio once an injury heals.0
-
Every day. I might take a day off completely a couple of times a month. I run 30-40 miles and do three sessions of strength stuff at the gym (usually in conjunction with one of my shorter runs).0
-
run 5 days (during the week between 3-4 miles) one weekend day 5-7 miles
weight train 1 day a week (includes abs, lunges, squats, shoulders, back, triceps) - 1 hour0 -
I do a morning routine for 15 mins, cardio and stretching
I find whatever excuse I can to go for a walk.
At night I do between 15 and 30 mins of cardio, strength training and then I walk/jog on my treadmill for 30 mins.
And 3 times a week I go to the gym with a friend.0 -
I Try to make sure I get at least 30 mins of some sort of activity every day. On top of that a good hard workout 3x a week.0

No set schedule for workouts...
Monday thru Friday, I go to the gym (or out for a walk) for 45-50 minutes. We do workout videos, stairs/stairmill, elliptical, stationary bike, weights, treadmill workouts, and/or a combo of a few things in a day. The only constant is that we do try to do weights 3 times a week - one day for legs, one day for abs and one day for upper body/arms
On the weekends, now that it's nicer out, I try to go for a run or long walk at least one of the days and rest the other.0 -
I'm currently on the injured list, but usually I do spinning 6-7 days a week, I walk at least one hour 3-5 times a week, and right before being take out of action, I was supposed to be starting C25K and 30DS. D'oh!
As an aside, for those who don't do a lot of cardio - I haven't changed much in the way I've been eating since being inactive (minus a few extra carbs to help absorb the horrible antibiotics I had to take) but without cardio for over 2 weeks now, I am noticing some negative changes in my body shape! Cardio is really important! I didn't realize until I couldn't do it anymore. Sitting on your tushy is really bad for your body. O.o0 -
Nearly every day...
Sunday - Run between 6 to 11 miles
Monday - DVD (strength training or Rockin' Body)
Tuesday - Spin Bike
Wedneday - 3 mile run
Thursday - Rest
Friday - Run between 3 to 4.5 miles
Saturday - If I'm not hiking/snowshoeing/or outdoors in general, then a DVD
I also walk on my breaks at work, so I walk between 2 to 5 miles a day doing that. And if I'm not busy in the evening I will hit a one or two Zumba classes during the week.0 -
Spinning 5 X a week, 45 min class
Lifting 3 X a week, 45-60mins
Circuit Training once a week 45 mins0 -
M: Squat, Bench, Bent Over Rows (5x5 program), 10 minutes or so of Pilates and/or 10-20 minutes of cardio if I am up to it.
Tu: Run per my 5K training schedule, core workout, yoga/stretching
W: Squat, Deadlift, Over Head Press, 10 minutes or so of Pilates and/or 10 -20 minutes of cardio if I am up for it.
Th: Same as Tuesday
F: Same as Monday, although my reps are different
Sa: Run per my 5K training schedule
Sun: Rest, maybe a light run
Once my 5K, then my 10K for this summer are done, I'll likely scale my runing back to 2 days a week, or make one of my run's lightre (if I still do a Saturday run). I workout in the AM before work, at home, during the week and whenever I get around to it on Saturday and/or Sunday. I also like to put on music and dance or play a dance game on the PS3 with my kids for something "extra".0 -
I average about 4 days per week for about an hour. Most of the time, I will run and use the elliptical for 30 minutes on each. Other days, I'll occasionally throw in some boxing/circuits at Title Boxing, weights/circuits with the hubby, and Jillian Michaels/Chalean either by myself or with a friend. I change it up depending on my mood.0

Stronglifts Sun / Tue / Thu
Cardio (running) 2-4 days / week (generally not on lifting days)0 -
I thought I did ok with 4-6 days a week for an hour but I think I need to up my game a little in comparison to everyone out there. I have issues with binge eating and my exercise is keeping my stable I guess. I just feel like I am a chronically tired person too. Blarg. Good job everyone!0
