    Stronglifts 3 times a week
    3 days of 40 minute cardio sessions (usually running or intervals)
    1 rest day

    6 days a week, 90 minutes each, some combo of cardio and weights:

    Sun: Run and spin, pull ups
    Mon: Legs and kettlebells
    Tues: rest
    Wed: Biceps and spin
    Thurs: Long run, plus barre class (to stretch)
    Fri: Shoulders, spin, plus barre class (to stretch)
    Sat: Run and chest

    Core/Abs are mixed in with the weight lifting (planks, TRX, etc)

    I love to exercise for all the endorphins! I used to exercise 7 days a week but got burnt out. Now I know that my body needs to rest sometimes.

    Right now:

    I walk/jog in the morning for an hour with my husband and our dogs. I do this pretty much 4-5 days out of the week. I typically sleep in and skip it one day of the week and one day of the weekend.

    I've started going to the gym for an extra hour Mon, Wed & Fri. I walk/jog for about 30 minutes, then do the elliptical for another 25-30 min.

    I do the occasional Turbo Jam dvd, Zumba class, etc... But I think kicking my distance up to 5 miles a day should get me out of my "I'm stuck at my current weight" funk.

    Here's hopin! :)

    Good luck to you.

    I was doing 6-7 but cutting it down to 4-5 now as I think that's something I can realistically keep up. I don't like not doing any exercise in a day though so I make sure that my days off are days where I have to be somewhere so will probably walk for 45-60 minutes. I actually think the weight started to come off more quickly when I gave myself more recovery days.

    Just started 4 days a week 90 minutes each day.

    60 cardio
    30 strength training

    If I don't have my son planning on trying to go sat-sun. When I have him...well keeping up with him is all the exercise I need!!

    6 days a week. Roughly 110-140 minutes a day... depending on the schedule.

    I try and do some sort of physical activity everyday. I've really grown to feel like a day without physical activity is like a day without sunshine. When my body needs rest, I take a rest without feeling guilty because I've earned it. Besides, when the body is screaming for rest and you don't rest, any activity you try and do is really for naught.
