    M-Sat. Insanity and/or Zumba, gym etc.
    Sunday- Rest day but I usually do something just to keep moving unless I really don't feel like it. Since I've started insanity I only took one complete rest day otherwise I'm moving.

    I do Zumba, strength training at the gym from time to time. Walk, jog if the weather allows. Stuff like that.

    I just alternate days. Day 1 is elliptical cardio, arms/shoulders, and core. Day 2 is running, legs/glutes, and lighter core. I take two days off per week, typically, but that day varies depending on my work schedule. I rest on whichever days i have my longest, most strenuous shifts (I'm a bartender, so that's either liquor order day when I put away kegs and cases, or Friday/Saturday night, when I race around for 9 hours without a break.) I can't do a stricter schedule because of my weird work hours.

    1- Legs
    2- Shoulders
    3- Bis and Tris
    4- Back
    5- Chest

    Rinse and repeat

    I run in the morning, lift for 60-75 min in the afternoon then hop on the star-climber, take the dogs for a 30 min walk. Everyday. I take no days off unless the gym is closed. But I double my run and walk.

    I try to exercise every day and not take rest days. If I need a 'rest day' I still at least walk for 30-40 minutes at a 3.5ish pace. I do Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred every day now (Today is Day 10, I just started level 2) and I try to jog/walk every other day or so. I also do yardwork once a week which usually racks up at least 500 cals for me, so it's a nice workout! With my cals set at 1200, it's great motivation to workout every day - otherwise I'd be hungry lol

    Rest is very important...rest is where you actually get the benefit of your exercise, particularly lifting. That said, rest days don't me you just have to sit around and do nothing...it just means you're not doing anything rigorous and letting your body recover a little.

    I'm training for a century ride though, after the race on June 1st I'm going to go back to more of a balance between cycling and strength training, might even join a crossfit gym, we'll see.

    Right now I am doing the Gwen Roe Extreme Workout, Friday through Tuesday night. I take Wednesday off and Thursdays I walk, mow the yard with the push mower, or any number of activities that will get me up and moving for an hour or longer. If I eat a lot on one of my workout days then I add a Leslie Sansone walking dvd to my routine.
