    I don't really have a routine these days. I got tired of P90X, so now i just get my *kitten* out of the house. I hike 3-10 miles 4 days a week, walk in the neighborhood, and take bike rides with my son. I stay strong day to day just by managing my daughter. She currently weighs 58 pound. Cerebral Palsy makes her unable to stand or walk, so I do plenty of squats and lifts just by lugging her around. :laugh:

    Good for you! If you haven't done so already go join the Couch to 5K group here on MFP. You will find a lot of support & advice there.

    It varies. I generally do 2-3 days weight training and/or 2-3 days kettlebell workouts. In addition I try to walk/run 5 miles every day, aiming for 10 miles two days a week. Also 15-30 minutes of yoga 2-3 days a week.

    It varies. My schedule isn't predictable. I try to walk 2-3 times a week with my mom. I do Leslie Sansone at home. Routines from fitness blender (on youtube) to shake stuff up. Lift weights sometimes.

    My biggest thing is making sure I do "something" for 45 minutes every day.

    Mine is sporadic. I am helping to raise my 3 year old grandson and I don't have much time to myself. I get up at 5 and get ready for work and usually by the time I get home, I am tending to him until bedtime. Sometimes he lets me get some exercise in. I am seriously contemplating getting up at 4 or 4:30 so I can exercise, but then I worry about being even MORE tired than I already am. Decisions, decisions.

    Take him with you on walks in the evenings, or get a membership to gym that has a babysitting service. With kids you can't "find" the time, you have to make it.

    Mondays: yoga 60 minutes or upper body strength training.
    Tuesdays: lower body strength training +/- uppers.
    Wednesdays: yoga 60 minutes +/- cardio, and kickboxing starts next week.
    Thursdays: upper body +/- cardio.

    Saturdays: I don't think I remember what a rest day is, but this week we're going to KC RenFest.

    I like mixing up my workouts and doing challenges. This month I'm doing JM's Ripped in 30 4 - 5 days per week which throws off my usual routine. Typically I:

    Lift: M, W & F - A Bodypump type class one day a week and lift heavy for 2 sessions.

    Walking: I power walk briskly outdoors for about 3 miles. Also I use Leslie Sansone's videos (2 - 6 miles depending) 4 - 5 days per week for my cardio.

    Pilates: I have a Pilates machine at home I use 3 - 4 times per week for stretching and to keep me limber and flexible.

    Misc: I love throwing in a YouTube video for variety. I mainly use Jessica Smith, Cassey Ho, Fitness Blender and FitSugar workouts.

    I bike commute pretty much everyday. I filled the gas tank in my car 6 weeks ago and it's still full! I like to do long rides for fun, too.
    I also take a yoga class twice a week.
    I lift weights 2-4 times a week, depending. Some heavy compound lifts and some circuit training.
    I try to do 2 HIIT workouts a week, usually sprints. Sometimes I'll do an Insanity dvd instead of a HIIT workout.

    I do my 4 mile at 4miles an hour (timed) everyday except Sunday and then 3 times a week I do a zumba class or PUSH mow the front yard. Then I have hand weighs that I do at night watching the tellie. AND situps/crunches during the commercials. In all I put in 2 hours a day so that I can have 1000 to 1200 calories burned every other day and 400 in between days. Seems to work for me but you will have to find what works for you.
