What does a 'typical' weeks excercise look like for you?

Monday - 2 mile run/1 hour yoga; Tuesday 4 mile run doing intervals; Wednesday; 1 mile run/lift weights; Thursday - 4 mile run/1 hour yoga; Friday - 5 mile run; Saturday - 1 mile run/lift weights; Sunday - long run between 8-10 miles. I sit at work all day and enjoy exercising.

Yes, I consider myself fit. On average, I workout 1.5 hours per day. Because it's winter and we acquired a new puppy, I've been walking a lot. Between 5k to 8k per day.

In the summer months, my main exercises are running and cycling. My goal is to complete an Olympic triathlon this summer. I started ramping up my swimming because this is my weakest point. I'm hoping to swim 1500m per week. I will increase this number when the weather conditions improve and I can open water swim.

My focus right now is to lose some lbs so I have less weight to haul around for my tri. I've been walking, x-country skiing, snow shoeing, indoor cardio and throwing in some push-ups, etc. I don't enjoy weight lifting. Luckily, I've gotten good results with the push-ups, etc.

I like giving my body the full work out... everyday!! lol!

I usually spend M-F at the gym for at least an hour and half.
usually
10 mins warming up/stretching/combo

30-40 mins weight training (whatever I feel like doing) usually alternate upper and lower

Then it's my goal time!! I spend 15-20 mins working on a certain goal I'd like to attain. Currently I am trying to get to level 10 on the stair master for 20 mins without leaning or feeling like I am going to die... I want to be able to do it with my hands on my hips the whole time!! (it's a lot harder than it sounds!!)

Then depending on time: 15-25 mins of cardio....

and a 5 min cool down!


On the weekends; if I do not go dancing the night before... (Salsa dancing for the win!) :laugh:
I will spend an hour on the weights side and change up the cardio.

So far it's been working...

I don't think I am fit compared to the other people at my gym... but I will tell you this... I try harder than anyone else I've ever seen come through the door!!

3 days a week - 50 min on treadmill doing intervals + convict conditioning exercises
3 days a week 30 minutes kettlebell + convict conditioning exercises + 15 min elliptical

First of all, I don't consider myself "fit", but I'm working to get there.

3 days per week: 45 minutes of full-body strength training (squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press, barbell row, side bend, barbell curl, triceps extension, calf raises at the moment)

The other 3-4 days per week: 30-35 minutes on the elliptical

Some walking is thrown into that here and there when the weather is nice.

If anybody has suggestions on my strength routine, please feel free to chime in!

On Sunday, I walk a mile and a tenth up the hill to the gym, do an hour of Step n Tone and then an hour of Boxing. I then walk home, a mile and a tenth, down the hill.

On Monday,I walk a mile and a tenth up the hill to the gym, do an hour of Cardio Kickboxing, then I walk home, a mile and a tenth, down the hill.

On Tuesday,I walk a mile and a tenth up the hill, do an hour of Total body, then walk home, a mile and a tenth, down the hill. After work, I eat dinner quickly, take the subway to Pilates, and then walk home. A mile and a tenth, down the hill.

On Wednesday, I take a 30 minute lunchtime class or spend time on the elliptical.

On Thursday, I walk a mile and a tenth up the hill to the gym, do an hour of Insan8ty, then walk home, a mile and a tenth, down the hill. After work, I walk a mile and a tenth up the hill to the gym, do an hour of Cardioblast, then walk home, a mile and a tenth, down the hill.

In addition, since we live in the city and don't drive, I do all my errands on foot as well as walking to the subway and back. Depending on the day, I could be walking another half hour or 45 minutes, besides my regular workout and office job.

Yes, I consider myself fit.

I lost 47 pounds and I consider myself in better shape than I was but I don't really consider myself fit. I typically do a spinning interval workout for 60-90 minutes 6 days a week. Sometimes it spinning/step spinning/kick boxing spinning/yoga melt down spinning/ weights or just plain old spinning. For years I've tried many exercise programs aerobics classes and sessions with trainers who promised me they'd help me "blast" through my plateau. Nothing worked for me. Then last year I set a goal for myself to be at or near my goal weight by November 1 2013 because I was going to Toronto to meet my celebrity crush! I bought a spinning bike took some spinning classes and rode the bike trails on the weekends and that's when I started to see results. Everyone said me you need to find what works for you! That would be cycling in all forms. When November 1st rolled around I was very close to my goal weight and I didn't feel self conscious. I met my celebrity crush and I felt good about myself! Sorry for rambling. I'm just proud of what I accomplished. I come from a long line of overweight couch potatoes. Their idea of exercise is lifting the fork from the plate to their mouth. I'll shut up now. LOL
