I'm trying to get new ideas here... My friend and I saw a trainer at Planet Fitness and I feel like exploring what works for other people too and see what other options are out there in case I want to change things up. :tongue:

    I'm keeping it simple for the summer-it's hard to fit in exercise in the summer with kids underfoot :) So right now I'm just training for my first 5K and walking/running. I'll resume strength training in the fall, after the kids are back at school.

    I am going to try the following:
    M-TU-W-Th-F: bike to work if it is nice out & weight training at noon hour
    Tu-Th-Sa-Su: water aerobics
    Tu-Th-F: C25K program
    every night a 10 minute jump rope session &/or a 30 minute bike ride with the kid.
    I know this sounds pretty ambitious but I am going to try. we will have to see how it works with the kid home all summer....

    Skint and little time with three kids so here goes

    30 mins of Jillian michaels "fit in 30" or alternative "shed and shred" once or twice a week

    run/jog 40 mins twice a week

    Mix things up by doing free classes from fitness channel e.g. Tae bo (45 mins), BoB Harper (45 mins) once a week

    Total 4/5 times a week exercise depending how I feel, found interval training good for cardio and strength all in one session. But sometimes less between 3 and 4 times a week.

    You don't need expensive gyms etc, just the motivation to do something. Good luck :smile:

    Here's what I do at the moment but thinking of trying something different.

    Monday. Training for 10k, ( on week 3 ). 15 minutes free weights at home.
    Tuesday. Aerobic class - 45 minutes.
    Wednesday . Aerobic class- 45 minutes, 15 minutes free weights at home.
    Thursday.. Training for 10k
    Friday.. 30 minutes of weights, sit up, push up etc
    Saturday. Weather permitting.. A 10 mile walk.
    Sunday.. Rest.

    But every day I also walk the dogs anything between 60 minutes and 120 minutes.

    But if my husband asks I also go on the exercise bike 3 times a week, he wants to sell it so I lie. I haven't got time to use it but will do in the winter. :-)

    I do the same lifting routine every 3 days (and then change the excercises order, or sub out/in excercises every 30-45 days) and i lift every day

    Day 1: Bicep/Back, get home run for 30 min, at night do p90x plyometrics
    Day 2: Chest/Triceps, run and then p90x plyometrics
    Day 3: legs/Shoulders, run then p90px plyometrics

    repeat (no off days).

    on weekends when i have more time i try to also add in 30 min of stairs or so in the mornings.

    I don't really have a set routine. I try to do one long run on the weekend (5+ miles for me is a long run) and a couple shorter runs during the week, I do yoga for half an hour about 4-5 times a week. And when the kids want to, we go for bike rides. And then there's the occasional Zumba Core session on the Xbox.

    For me, and probably for most people, it changes with the seasons.

    A 'normal' week for me is running 3-4 times at least 45 minutes and lifting 3 times a week on my non running days. I also do some walking or swimming, water aerobics, biking or hiking on 'off' days, if I have time.

    During the winter, its lifting and the dreadmill, with water aerobics or the exercise bike on my off days.

    I also do heavy gardening from spring to fall, several days per week.

    This is my schedule. Saturday is my day off since bike ride is a pleasure. Every couple of weeks I take off a day totally based on how I feel or just to go out and do something else :)

    I'm finding that if I move with purpose every day, my weight does not yo-yo and I tend not to cheat with food.

    Monday - 30 minutes circuit training/conditioning/free weights
    Tuesday - 60 minutes kickboxing
    Wednesday - 30 minutes circuit training/conditioning/free weights
    Thursday - 60 minutes grappling
    Friday - 60 minutes kickboxing
    Saturday - 30-60 minutes bike ride or between 4 - 9 miles
    Sunday - 60 minutes weight lifting

    This is my basic plan. For cardio I use machines at the gym, if I'm doing HIIT, or anything that seems fun, like hiking, if I'm doing easy cardio. I'm going to try aqua zumba tonight. I also do some yoga, and some dance practice every day.

    Mon - HIIT, yoga class
    Tue - yoga class, tap dance class
    Wed - strength training, easy cardio
    Thurs - HIIT
    Friday - easy cardio
    Saturday - strength training, easy cardio
    Sunday - whatever feels best, i.e. rest, easy cardio, restorative yoga, dance.

    M-W-F I go to an hour long boot camp from 5:30-6:30 a.m. and will get at least 1(one) 5K in on the weekend and occasionally 1 on an off day from boot camp during the week. The other exercise I get is either from yard work or messing around with the kids at the pool etc. Besides the 4 regular work outs, I try to get 1-2 smaller ones in there a week if I can.
