    Totally Not Fit.

    Monday - 30 min with the trainer
    Tuesday - Kickboxing - 75 min
    Wednesday - 30 min on the treadmill
    Thursday - Kickboxing - 75 min
    Friday - Sun - I REALLY need to work on these days. I need at LEAST one more day of running and one more day of strength training.

    My Goal is also to get 10,000 steps a day - need to get much better at hitting that every day.

    Weights 4-5 days/week + three 30 minute sessions of jogging/jump rope/walking/biking/etc. Try to toss a day of yoga in there as well if I can.

    I don't know how "fit" I am at the moment (most people can dance around me in a run) but I'm a lot stronger than I used to be.

    Fit? I don't know. Strong, yes!

    I lift compounds + accessory work 3 days a week, take a step class on Sundays, and usually a HIIT workout once a week. Sometimes a Zumba class on Fridays as well, depending on my schedule.

    I want to consume the calories of at least a lightly active person, so I walk the kids to and from school most days (about an hour all told) and use my elevate Wii balance board for a light step routine when watching TV two or three times a week. It's also motivation to clean, pull weeds, mow the lawn, etc. I'd never log it as exercise, but it lets me eat a bit more each day.

    I'm "fit-ish," maybe.

    3 days/week of cardio; usually consist of a treadmill and/or arc-trainer. I usually do about 40-50 minutes, BUT sometimes have to cut it short and do 20-30 mins.

    2 days of strength-training; usually takes me about 45-60 minutes, and I'll usually walk on those days too.

    I also have 2 little kids, so I'm all over the place with them.

    I'm not fit by any means, but trying each day. I limit my calories to 10x my goal weight each day (220 lb goal = 2200 calories a day.) If I go over, I go walking or biking to work off those excess calories. For instance today my body said it wanted about 600 calories over my daily goal, so tonight I hit the bike trails for almost an hour. Last night I walked off about 170 excess calories. This is unscheduled exercise and is in addition to my regular routine.

    My regular workout routine is static and is as follows:

    M: Lower body/Core Tabata, squats and dead lifts
    W: Upper body Tabata, pull-ups and dips
    F or Sa: Sprint Tabata

    Hope this helps! I love it because it's fairly easy to stick with and is working well for me so far.

    I'd consider myself reasonably fit.
    MWF I run Strong Curves, it's a full body routine, but different exercises each workout .
    TTh I run/walk maybe some HIIT (that's been awhile, though). Sometimes an extra run on a Saturday or an evening.
    I've done 5 5ks and a 10k with another 5k coming up on Thanskgiving, this year as well.

    I feel I am fit, but am looking to achieve athlete level fitness.

    Current workout plan is 4 days of lifting a week (just started Wendler 5:3:1) and 2 days a week of cardio (running).

    I'm not necessarily "fit" but I am definitely fitter than when I started a few months ago!

    I do bootcamp M/W/F and run T/Th/Su. I will probably cut back on the running and add in some strength training within the next couple weeks.

    4 runs totaling around 35 miles per week (mostly aerobic distance, some Fartlek/tempo for LT or anaerobic threshold)
    3 days (sometimes post-run) of sets of push-ups, pull-ups, dips, planks and stretching
    1 day of Ashtanga Yoga (video in my living room)

    I'd say I'm moderately fit. My race times are usually in the top 30% of my age group, and I can max an Army PT test at the 18-21 standards.

    A typical week may look something like this:
    Monday--am circuit training video, pm strength training or circuit with incline run at the gym
    Tuesday--am circuit training video, pm off or run/walk 1-2 miles
    Wednesday--am yoga or cardio, pm strength training or circuit with incline run at the gym
    Thursday--am circuit training video, pm off or run/walk 1-2 miles
    Friday--am circuit training video, pm off
    Saturday--rest day or a video, walking dogs
    Sunday--run 3-5 miles, walking dogs

    I feel pretty fit. I can do over 100 push-ups a day, in sets of 20 or 25, and can do sets of 5 pull-ups. My run time has improved from last year, but my mileage is down because of a more strength-based focus.
