    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!

    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.

    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....:love:

    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.

    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. :)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 chips ;)

    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.

    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)

    I switch up the workouts with Supersets, Giant sets, Heavy weight, Light weight and specific exercises for each muscle but in general its the same. I also change the duration of Circuit training vs Cardio. One week I will spend more time on Cardio the other week on Circuit training but I do both each day. Just trying to keep my body guessing.



    Monday - Circuit train - chest/back - Cardio Bike, treadmill or basketball
    Tuesday - Circuit train - Shoulders/Core - Cardio Bike, treadmill or basketball
    Wednesday - Circuit train - Legs/Arms - Cardio Bike, treadmill or basketball
    Thursday - Circuit train - Chest/Back - Cardio Bike, treadmill or basketball
    Friday - Circuit Train - Shoulders/Core - Cardio Bike, treadmill or basketball

    Mostly Cardio focused at the moment.

    Mondays - Gym - Mostly Tread Climber (40 - 60 mins) sometimes with some cross trainer/running thrown in.
    Tuesdays - Cycling
    Wednesday - Gym - Mix and Match 15mins on 3 to 4 pieces of equipment/excersizes (Swimming/Rowing/Cycling added to mondays) or sometimes I'll do a weights session.
    Thursdays - Cycle or Gym.
    Fridays - Depends how I feel, gym in the morning or nothing.
    Saturdays - rest up.
    Sundays - Cycling

    I also walk to and from the station in the mornings rather than catch the bus, that adds 30min walking to my totals. Though this evening I did get the bus home as It was shovelling rain.

    I do cardio 7 days a week. Most days I do about an hour of cardio, occasionally I will only do 30 minutes.
    I do strength training 2-3 days per week.
    I try to do some type of yoga at least 2-3 days per week.
    I just recently started doing pilates and hope to keep that up at least 1 day per week. Actually I would like to increase that to 2 times per week...we'll see.

    So far this week:

    Monday - Nothing. Was Bank Holiday in the UK and had a busy weekend so rested up.
    Today - 50mins on the Treadclimber followed by 10mins Swimming.



    Just thought it would be a good idea to track it :)

    Saturday I helped my mom move, was 3rd floor flat (it's a penthouse, low block) and after the first trip up the lift broke trapping a a family of 4, so ended up carrying everything up and down the stairs. Now THAT was a good work out :) Stair Climbing with heavy loads, Great fun.
