Mine is a little too much for most people (maybe even myself!), but I like it. It took me almost five months to work up to this level of exercise. When I started I couldnt jog more than a minute!
Sunday: 2 - 3 mile jog
Monday: Aquatics class (low impact)
Tuesday: Aquatics class (high impact)
Wednesday: 1 hour Step and Tone, 1 hour high impact aquatics class
Thursday: High Impact group class (step or pool plyo)
Friday: 1 hour group toning followed by 1 hour step
Saturday: BREAK!0 -

This is my schedule so far:
yoga - 45 min. twice a week at the gym
weight training - 45 min. twice a week at the gym
walking 5 km (run 1 minute intervals) - 3 times a week

Tues/Thurs: Gym with 35 minutes jogging and walking on an incline on the treadmill, 12 minutes on exercise bike, 10-15 minutes on elliptical
Everything else: Chalean Extreme workout DVDs. There's a schedule for the program but I haven't been following it exactly. Usually I do strength Wed, Fri and Sun, and cardio Mon and Sat. Depends on my schedule and if I want a higher calorie burn for some reason (usually socializing) and I'll do a cardio workout.
I'll take a day off sometimes, usually on the weekend.0 -
I take my daughter to an early morning church class and some of the other mums and I walk. We chat and it makes the time go by so much faster. I also do pilates and yoga stretches.

Last few weeks I've upped my exercising from 4 days a week to pretty much 7 days a week.
Mon - Sat > Strength & Cardio/Running for 1-2hrs
Sun > Hiking with a 10lb back pack for 3-5hrs
I know it's a bit too much perhaps, but workouts at the gym vary in intensity. I only upped it because I like food :laugh: so it allows me to eat my healthy snacks. ....*peanut butter* yum....0 -
Because I work full-time and I am a graduate school I make exercising fun. I attend Hip-Hop aerobics on Monday, Spinning Wednesday, Zumba Friday and Yoga to relax on Saturday.0

I have a goal of working out as intensely & as often as some of you who previously posted. However, I have a routine of doing yoga 2x a week for an hour & a half (it's 70 min of exercise. 10 warm up, 10 cool down), then Mondays, Wednesdays & Thursdays I walk 4-5 miles with various inclines. On the weekends I try to do fun activities that help me burn calories like hike, clean the house & go out dancing. I would like to incorporate rock climbing back into my life but after I tore my abdominal muscle I decided I need to lose some pounds & then build muscle.0

I'm doing a variety of Turbo Jam 5 days a week (usually about 45 minutes total each day).0
-
Monday - Strength train for about 1 hour, then cardio (couch to 5k)
Tuesday - Hiking 2 miles in the morning, circuit boxing in the evening
Wednesday - Strength train for 1 hour, then couch to 5k
Thursday - Hiking 2 miles in the morning.
Friday - Strength training for 1 hour, then couch to 5k
Saturday - nothing, unless it recreational stuff with the family such as bike riding or hiking.
Sunday - I take a latin dance class in the AM.0 -
Since my daughter just went back to school and I have more quiet time here's my new schedule at an hour each:
Monday- Tai Chi stretching series (takes a whole hour to do)
Tuesday- Chi gong and Tai Chi form practice
Wednesday- Teach Tai Chi in the morning, and go to a class in the evening
Thursday- Chi gong and form again
Friday- Fundamentals practice
Saturday- Teach class again
Sunday- take a break
Also, walking my daughter two and from school on weekdays. At ten minutes one-way, two trips give me 40 minutes of walking.0 -
This is what I typically do, but sometimes I have to change things up for various reasons:
Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday - Run/Bike (usually run a 5K or more and then bike for 9-12 miles)
Monday, Wednesday & Friday - Weights (alternating upper and lower body plus some core/ab work)
Saturday - Whatever I feel like...or nothing at all.0 -
Monday, Wednesday Friday morning - Couch to 5K run
Wednesday, Friday, Sunday night - Ab Ripper X, Pilates, starting the 200 Sit Up Challenge tonight, followed by 25 minutes jogging in place
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday night - 5 minute skipping rope warm up, 20-25 minutes weight lifting, 25 minutes jogging in place
I alternate rest days depending on social activities on the weekend and how I'm feeling, etc. It adds up to about 4 hours of cardio and 1 1/2 hours strength training each week.0 -
That was encouraging to hear that you could not even jog a minute when you started. I am four weeks into this and sometimes I feel like I will never get past where I am today. A little at a time I guess.0

1 hour cardio (elliptical - can't run right now) 6 days a week with a little bit of strength training thrown in between.0
-
Insanity - 6 days a week
Month 1 about 45 mins long
Month 2 about 55 mins long
Every now and than I go for a 45 min walk - don't know hoe many miles but burn about 400 - 600 cals depending if I had srint ro jog to it on the way home.0 -
Sun - Fri - P90 (not X yet) Sweat 1/2 and Sculpt 1/2 alternating days.
Sat - Rest and BBQ/Smoker time!
I'm trying to not be at home most nights. I.E. go out and go to Home Depot, Sam's, etc so I can get a good half hour or so of walking around. It's slower paced, but I'm not sitting in front of the TV shoveling in chips0 -
OK, wow. So intense with the working out. Not for me, I do Curves circuit training and then on the days I can't get there of course I ,at the very least, walk around my neighborhood for about 2mi. Other than that between a child, working full-time, and a spouse....that's just about all I can do. BUT, Curves works without stressing me out too much and you don't have to worry about bimbo barbie in front of you in her hot spandex, full make-up, and a boob job flapping in your face while she jogs on the treadmill in front of you.0

Oh my. That is a complicated question! It alternates alot!
2 weighted/ 'extreme' abdominal workouts a week
2-3 days of weights a week
3 -4 days or Cardio or Interval Training a week (the interval training can include some weighted work as well)
1 -2 days Yoga/ pilates per month
All of these are from:
P90X
P90X+
ChaLean X
Brazil But Lift
Winsor Pilates
Insanity (Use sparingly)0
