I just like to see what kind of workout programs other people are following. It gives me ideas for things that I can incorporate into my workouts. So, if you have a program or a routine that you're following right now I'd love to see your weekly breakdown. Also, if you can tell what your goals are with your program that would be great too. My goal with the following program is to lose fat, be able to run faster speeds and longer distances and maintain my current muscle mass (or add to it, but at least maintain). This is a 6 week program that gets progressively more challenging every week.
Sunday:
Rest or Makeup Day
Monday:
Full Body Workout (mostly calisthenics) **See exercises below
35-45 minutes elliptical
Tuesday:
3 mile run (adding 1/2 mile per week for 6 weeks to get up to 5.5 miles)
6x50 Sprints (adding 1 per week to get up to 11x50 by the 6th week)
6 mile recovery bike ride
Wednesday:
Full Body Workout (mostly calisthenics)
1/2 Mile Warmup Run
6x400 meter tempo runs with 90 seconds active rest between runs (400 meter runs at a pace approx. 2 minutes faster than my "normal" pace)
1/2 Mile Cooldown Run
Thursday:
Same as Tuesday
Friday:
Full Body Workout (mostly calisthenics)
1/2 Mile Warmup Run
6x300 meter sprints (3 minutes rest between sprints with one max set of pushups)
1/2 Mile Cooldown Run
Saturday:
Same as Tuesday and Thursday
For reference, the full body workout is circuit training consisting of the following exercises:
Walking Lunges
Calf Hops
Jump Squats
Jump Overs
Split Squats
Jumping Jacks
Lat Pulldowns
Situps
Pushups
Prone Cobra
Seated Row
Plank
Dip
Bicycle Crunch
Upright Row & Press
Flutter Kicks
The number of sets and reps varies from week to week. Every new week contains a little more than the prior week.

Wow! That's some routine! Here's mine:
Sunday: Cross-train for 45 min or easy 5 mile run (I usually go for the run)
Monday: Cross-train (lately these are my resistance training sessions with my trainer)
Tuesday: Interval run (changes from week to week between 4-6 miles) and Boot Camp (woohoo!)
Wednesday: Easy 6 mile run
Thursday: 8.5 mile tempo run (I HATE TEMPO RUNS) and resistance training session
Friday: rest
Saturday: Long run....we're up to 22 miles0 -
Hello! I haven't started a workout routine other than walking, which today was my first day doing it. However, I was thinking about trying to find some easy but effective body toning routines that I can do at home as I'm not ready to take on the gym yet. All suggestions are welcome0

I am only on week 2 of Turbo Fire, and I LOVE it so far. Week 3 for me looks like this:
Monday Fire 45 EZ class (and let me tell you there is nothing easy about the EZ classes! LOL)
Tuesday HIIT 25 (very high intensity)
Wed supposed to be rest day, I usually go for a walk though or something easy
Thursday HIIT 15 plus Tone 30
Friday Fire 45 EZ Class
Saturday Core 20 plus stretch 40
Sunday Fire 55 EZ
All classes have the stretch 10 after each work out.
On the days that are short I add in Brazil Butt Lift program, either the High and Tight or Bum Bum, and I will also do strength training on the other short day. I feel like this wasn't building enough muscle, GREAT cardio, but I felt like I needed a little more.0 -
At least 5 days a week my day starts like this

followed by "buns" and "legs"
If kids still in one piece and house isnt in fire, then i do these
http://www.bodyrock.tv/category/daily-workouts/archives/workout-routine-for-absolute-beginners/
taking one by one during day between cooking, cleaning, feeding and taking care of 4 smallies.
If weather is great, we have 3 - 4 h walk with kids (slow, but includes pushing, carrying, walking up the hill), if its raining, then im jumping with kids on trampuline (small indoor's, but perfect to entertain kids and have some cardio for me).
I could add extra excersises, but these are fast and effective and im lazzy0 -
A typical week for me looks like this.
Mon: mma training (about 1.5 to 2 hrs of kickboxing, wrestling & jui-jitsu)
Tue: rest (usually stuffed from mma :P)
Wed: resistance training (bench press and squats plus various assistance exercises)
Thu: HIIT circuits (I basically just use everything in my home gym and go for about 45mins)
Fri: resistance training (deadlift and standing overhead press plus various assistance exercises)
Sat: mma
Sun: rest
After resistance training, I will usually do some core work and something to get my HR up like skipping or boxing.
My goals were previously to lose a little bit of fat while maintaining or increasing strength but I changed last week and I am now eating more and going to try and put on a few kg of muscle and then cut back. I am currently 73kg and I compete in the up to 76kg class in jui-jitsu so want to put on a few kg of quality muscle hopefully.0 -
I have two training regimens I'm currently under, one is a 5x5 powerlifting, the other is a strongman.
PL week
Thursday-Squat + accessory work
Friday-Cardio
Saturday-Bench + accessory work
Sunday-light cardio + any assistance work/light lifting
Monday-Dead lifting + accessory work
Tuesday-Heavy cardio + accessory work/kettlebells/dumbbells
Wednesday-Rest/light cardio/hiking
During the strongman weeks, I use many of the lifts as the PL week, but with heavier weights quicker, with lower reps. I don't bench press during this week usually, unless it's on an off day.
Thursday-Atlas Stone + accessory work/squats with barbell and atlas stones
Friday-Deadlift + accessory work
Saturday-light/mod cardio/hiit
Sunday-Atlas Stone/Tire flips/Keg toss/Farmers Walk/OH Press medley, done for time and reps
Monday-light cardio
Tuesday-Accessory work/kettlebells
Wednesday-light cardio
I competed in Judo for 12 years, but when the MMA people wanted to come in and learn MMA in the dojo every week, my sensei got fed up with the lack of commitment and respect from them, moved back to Japan to coach their junior olympic teams.0 -
