in Fitness and Exercise
I usually do 5 days on, 2 days rest. On my rest days I still walk or do activities with my kids, yoga etc... I weight train 3 days and do cardio 2-4. I usually start my week off with legs, cardio/plyos day, arms and back, cardio/plyos/kettle bells. Then finish with legs again. I get bored really easy and have to mix it up to get results. What does everyone else do?

    Mon-Sat mornings: PiYo (it used to be Insanity Max 30, but I just finished that program last week).
    Mon eve: spin
    Tues eve: pole
    Thurs eve: pole
    Sat: pole

    My Wed & Fri eve depend on if I'm at church or work in the evening. But if I'm not there, I'll do TRX or kettlebell those evenings. Or try to fit in another pole class.

    Every other day work out, off days, rest my busted ol' joints lol. So the workout currently goes like this:
    30 minutes elliptical
    10 minutes fast walk on treadmill, cooling partway down and getting comfortable again
    20 (or so) minutes doing weights, squats, hip lifts, and planks
    15 to 30 minutes stationary bike. Depends how my knees are feeling.
    Stretches
    go home and shower.

    I agree! I do every other day on crosstrainer and treadmill that's about all my ankles can cope with. I go to bums tums or zumba in between when my bod feels ok. Music is a big thing for me while I workout. I do sometimes wish I could do more in the gym.

    Currently 6 days a week (Mon-Sat) Spin / Les Mills RPM.

    Once the Physio clears me (damaged my Rotator Cuff and Scapular) I'll be back to lifting as well, so it be;

    Mon - Spin/RPM class in the morning
    Tues - Spin/RPM class in the morning, then free weights in the evening
    Wed - Spin/RPM class in the morning
    Thur - Spin/RPM class in the morning, then free weights in the evening
    Fri - Spin/RPM solo in the afternoon
    Sat - Spin/RPM in a class in the morning or doing it solo whenever I fee like it.
    Sun - free weights whenever

    I don't enjoy running or eleptical machines so my Cardio is entirely done on spin bikes, and rowing is currently out but may come back after I have rebuilt the strenght in the shoulders. I can do the spin/rpm sessions solo as I know the tracks (I have been doing it for over 5 years now). As for the free weights sessions, I have a rotating workout plan to focus on different muscle groups and core strength.
