    Walk at home 5 mile dvd, but I only do 2nd mile yet I do it 7 times in a row. Today I am supposed to do 8 miles, but I just walked 13km to get wool.

    Walk at home is what's keeping me going cause it's 2 cold 2 run outside for me. Other than that it's situps, squats & pushups.

    Men. At least it LOOKS that way. I look like a total tramp because my exercises are named. I have Lance, Ben, Bob, Eduardo, and the list just goes on and on. My friends think it's a hoot.

    In reality though, I do Taekwondo on Tuesdays and Thursdays (two hours each night), and on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I go to the gym to do weights and various forms of cardio.

    My routine is Monday,Wed,Friday 30-35 minutes of weight lifting (arms) including push ups / and 45-90 minutes of dance or Zumba. Tuesdays and Thursdays I do legs and abs, squats, lunges, kickbacks,crunches,etc for 35-40 minutes / and I do 30-60 minutes of dance or Zumba. Saturday I usually do dance or Zumba for 30-90 minutes depends on plans for the day. Sunday rest!

    My hubby says I should workout Monday Wednesday Friday and rest in between; but I'm on a mission and so far I'm loving the results! Maybe once I'm in maintain mode!!

    I love group workout classes! I usually do Zumba or a dance class of some sort. I also try to mix it up with Step or Kickboxing. Yard work also counts as a great workout!

    I'm a treadmill at home kind of girl. I know I should be doing some sort of strength training, but I'm just not into it. I'll have to find some kind I like. If I weren't so cheap, I'd probably do group workout classes at a gym as well.

    I also do some dance DVDS, Tae Bo, yoga and swimming from time to time.

    Currently I do 3 days of cardio (C25K) and 4 to 6 days of upper body lifting. I would occasionally substitute lifting with swimming or Yoga. Once I reach my goal of 5K under 30 minutes, I would dial back the cardio slightly and do compound lifts.

    I do a standard three day split weight routine with a 20 minute run, and an alternate days, running or jump rope for 30 minutes, plus yoga or a core routine for 30 minutes.

    I do treadmill 5 days a week and weight lifting 3 days a week. Sometimes I also add yoga but not usually.

    I do full body weights 3x a week. Cardio I mix it up. I walk at least 2 miles almost everyday, jog though not as much as I used to in the past because of a bad right ankle, Zumba class which I suck at but I enjoy and it's easy on my bad ankle, kickboxing class, RIPPED class, it involves weights, intervals, poly-metrics and abs work. I also ride the exercise bike occasionally and swim laps in the pool. I take 1-2 days off a week where I do nothing and just relax.

    Swimming, stationary rowing, stationary bike and starting out with dumbbells now ( not very good so far, but when are beginners ever good from the start?) I also walk a lot, 'cause I have no car.

    Cardio! I do a lot of cardio because I love it. Elliptical, treadmill, and swimming especially.

    I need to do more strength, but I'm actually not sure where to begin. I do ab crunches and use the little dumbbells to help myself work up to it, but the machines totally confuse me and I'm lost on where to start on home/DIY strength routines.

    I don't do a huge amount, but try to exceed mimimum recommendations. I do either heavy lifting, or a bodyweight programme twice a week (three times if I can manage it). I usually have a dance class once a week. The rest is bits and pieces of walking, dancing, cycling, exercise DVDs (on youtube), etc. and generally trying to be more active (not sitting too long, going up and downstairs often, walking rather than driving, etc.)

    Running, circuit classes and pilates (my reward at the end of the week).

    Lift 3-4 times a week split between upper and lower body.
    Intervals running twice a week, done after lifting - used to row, try and run now
    Running another twice a week.
    Cycle - either commuting 1-2 times a week and a long cycle for fun with OH every other week.

    I've just signed up to a triathlon, so I'm going to add in a bit more structure to my running/cycling. I'm going to have to add in swimming as this is the weakest. I'm just starting out on this so only at 15 min, but working up to 30 min 3 times a week.

    I like lifting, but when it's bright out doors I prefer my running/cycling to be out versus on a treadmill.
