    5 days a week I go to the gym at night, after my kids are in bed and my dinner has digested a bit. I usually go between 9:30 and 10:30 and I'm there for an hour. Three days a week I do the Planet Fitness 30 Minute Express circuit (weights and cardio) followed by 30 minutes on the treadmill. On alternating days I spend 60 minutes on the arc trainer.

    4:30 am Monday thru Friday (most often - sometimes I take a day off) and then either Saturday or Sunday. I try to work out 5 days and take two off. Always for at least 30 minutes, sometimes for an hour and I just mix the different DVD's I have.

    I try to walk at least 5 miles a day at 4 mph. This really racks up the calories and only takes about 1h 15m. Also, cycling is good where I live because its very hilly. I use an app on my Iphone called "Runkeeper". It tracks your movements by satelite and is very accurate. Its also available on Android.:smile:

    Run intervals on the treadmill 4 times a week (walk one minute- Run for two minutes) for 30 to 45mins. Weight train 5 times a week and Kickboxing 3 times a week. I switch it up every week. i get bored easily and it helps keep my body guessing. During the summer i go to a track once a week and do lots of sprints and lunges .

    No real schedule, but this is what I try to do each week:

    3x week weight workout
    3 -4 x week running (I run every other day )
    2-3 x cross training @ 30 mins (will pair up with weights or on a shorter run day)
    1 complete cardio rest day

    I'm starting the 100 push up program next week on my "off" weight days. I will begin training for my first sprint triathlon in another rmonth or so as well, and I will have to revisit my schedule then. I also want to add in yoga...so I may start looking at an "extended" training week. Puts you on a longer cycle, like maybe 10-14 days, instead of a traditional week. Just read a great article about it in Runners World Magazine.

    T-Sat 60 min on the elliptical trainer after work. Mon 60 min of pilates reformer for endurance and muscle toning. If I'm not too sore/tired out, I'll try to squeeze about 30 min of the elliptical trainer after the class. Sunday is my rest day.

    Mon. morning or after work: 35 min hard run on the treadmill

    Tues: Personal trainer session, usually resistance training of some sort, after work

    Wed: Off

    Thurs: 60 min light run on the treadmill (after work)

    Fri: 45 min intervals, treadmill (after work)

    Sat: Off, or sometimes aerobics/zumba/spin class if I feel like it

    Sun: 110 min sloooow run on the treadmill (restitution workout)


    I'm training for a race in May, hence all the running. When not in 10K-mode, I like to mix it up with more weights and "fun" cardio (spin, classes etc.).

    I do Power 90 and this is my schedule:

    MWF- Sweat 3/4 (Cardio)
    TThSat- Sculpt 3/4 (Strength training)
    I do YogaX a few nights a week too, until I start P90X in April.

    Sometimes I alternate my off days between Saturday/Sunday... all depends on what I've got going on those days.
    But my workouts are done in the mornings before work. If I do them at night, I can't sleep cause I'm all wound up!

    Mon - Wed - Fri: Curves 30 min Cardio/Circuit Training session (these are my light days) may add a walk.

    Tues & Thurs: C25k or Elliptical at gym with upper body strength training on circuit machines. Tennis lesson.

    Sat & Sun: Usually 30D Shred or 5-7mile hike or depending on weather another gym day.

    This is what I do to crosstrain but I do try to mix it up to keep my body guessing. As far as the circuit training which is the bulk of my excercise I continue to add weight so my body never adjusts.
