1hr cycling 5 days a week (work commute).
1hr weight training 3 days per week.

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

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

Saturday or Sunday I typically go to the gym at least once OR recently I've been trying to run at least a little bit one day.0 -
I work out between 2 and 4 times a week depending on when I have to work and how much homework I have to do for college.
Those of you who are working out every day, I'd just like to mention that not leaving yourself an off or rest day can result in injury in the long run. My track coach in high school used to be incredibly adamant that we rested over the weekend - nothing more than walking.
Usually my schedule is:
Monday: 20-35 minutes of biking, 10-15 minutes of rowing machine, small amounts of core
Tuesday: Rest
Wednesday: 15-25 minutes of jogging, 15-30 minutes of biking
Thursday: 15-25 minutes of jogging, 10-15 minutes of rowing machine, small amounts of leg/arm work outs
Friday: Rest
Saturday: Rest OR 5-15 minutes of an exercise video OR 15-25 minutes of jogging, 15-30 minutes of biking
Sunday: Rest
I often work Thursdays at the time I usually work out, so that day either gets dropped or moved to Friday. Before workouts, I usually walk at least two minutes and afterwards I try and walk at least five and as much as fifteen minutes. I also skateboard to class on weekdays, but I don't count that as I would have to go to class regardless if I was trying to get more healthy or not.
I keep meaning to incorporate more weights into my workouts, but I enjoy the cardio more and more and the weight rooms are always full of big, sweaty, territorial men.0 -
i ride a bike about 8 to 10 miles four times a week. I try and keep the pace at 15 mph. The bike is a 21 gear type and I never change gears. I wear a fat belt and this type of exercise really seems to work for me.0
