I go to group fitness classes at my school's campus Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday because those are the only days that work with my class/work schedule. I take 2 spinning (Mon and Wed) and one BodyPump (Tues) class. I try to stay active on the other days whether it is just getting to the gym to go on the elliptical for 45 minutes or so or walking a few miles. Starting CrossFit soon, should be interesting!!!

I kick box 3 to 4 times a week and try to walk at least every day on my lunch hours, I don't know what it is about walking but it really seems to work for me in the long run, or at least it did in the past before baby number two!

I do weight training on Monday and Wednesday and Spin Class on Tuesday and Thursday. This week I also did a Yoga class on Wednesday. And since I am feeling extra motivation, I think I will weight train again tomorrow.

I weight train 2x a week with a trainer and try to get in 2 cardio workouts on my own. Its working well for me

I do a lot of different workouts currently.. I like to mix it up and not stick to a schedule per se.

I also tend to workout about 75 mins or so a day.

I do Pilates twice a week, plus another group class once a week. I also walk to and from work almost everyday. BUT I know for a fact that I NEED to start taking weight training seriously. WIthout doing that and some regular cardio I will not get the results of being toned and sleek with a round booty that I want. I'm going to start by creating a schedule for myself for next week for training. Example: Monday: arms, abs Tuesday: pilates Wednesday: abs, butt Thursday: legs Friday: Pilates Saturday: cardio, arms Sunday: off. Wish me luck!!!

I do Crossfit 3x a week. Hoping to increase to 4x a week in the next couple weeks. It's a great all over workout.

So, it seems that I am not he only one trying to figure out how much to eat when you burn a lot of calories via workouts.
I know I have been running for a couple years now with almost no scale movement (which is why brought me here because I blame no nutrition accountability). Before coming here and the first couple weeks here, I never ate back exercise cals and ate about 1200 a day. After several days or weeks of no loss, I get frustrated and quit and then start all over again. (I never stop running though, I love running)
On Tuesday of this week, I decided to start to eat back about half of my exercise calories. I am hoping this is the solution to keeping me motivated and start the scale moving. It was after doing research on MFP and elsewhere that I decided to try this approach.

What do you all do - eat back exercise cals? Some? All?

My diary is open to friends if that helps. You'll see the change between Monday and the rest of the week.

I started doing the "You are your own Gym" app workouts. If you have a smartphone it is available for android and iphone. It is a good starting point. I used to be a drill instructor at a prison bootcamp. I used to do 500 lunges and 200 pushups a morning with those guys. I have been in an office job a few years now and did the lower body workout from that app...boy, did my rear feel those 60 lunges!

I use the TDEE-x% method. This way you eat the same amount every day and do not log exercise. When you plug your numbers in to the equation you account for your activity level. This way you only have to worry about acurate food calories, not accurate food and exercise calories.

I'm going to be doing couch 25k and Insanity... I'm starting week 3 month one of insanity... anybody else doing insanity??

I started jogging at the beginning of the month and have become rather addicted. I tend to get out for a jog 3-4x a week and want to get back into doing some kettlebell at least 2x a week for strength. I walk just about everyday at lunch as well.

I run 3-4 times a week and lift weights. I used to do Insanity but now I live in a 3rd floor apartment so I don't think my neighbors would appreciate me jumping around and making a ton of noise all the time. I did C25K a couple of years ago and completed Bridge to 10k this summer. I'm hoping that by next year at this time I can run a half marathon.

I have just started a new fall routine as follows:

run - 3 times a week
TRX suspension weight training - 3 times a week
hot yoga - 2 times a week
