    I just joined a gym in December and I can have one hour a month with a trainer - since I am a newbie and very out of shape, he gave me weight training program - mostly arms. I do that 2-3 times/week and also do 40-50 minutes on the treadmill. I have arthritis in my lower back, so I have to be careful. I meet again with a trainer tomorrow and hope to add more leg machines to my workout. The gym fee is more than I wanted to spend, but the benefits are totally worth it and I have no excuse for not being able to work out even if the weather is bad.

    I've been going to the gym for years (with some breaks), but have changed what I do over time. When I first joined a gym I used to only do cardio, mainly the elliptical and treadmill and I did some classes like aerobics and aqua, and I swam. Then I added more classes like step. Just before I got married in 2008 I started doing PT sessions so had more of a focus on strength training, but then I got pregnant straight after my wedding so just did cardio, then when I'd had my baby I was back to the strength training. I had a break from exercise in my 2nd pregnancy then was back at it after, and did loads more strength training and also started spinning. I exercised through my third pregnancy and am now at 9 months post partum.

    This week my routine is:
    Mon - gym session
    Tues - spin
    Wed - Armageddon ( HIIT class)
    Thurs - spin
    Fri - Armageddon
    Sat - spin
    Sun - fitball (core stability) and spin

    Usually I do one or two PT sessions but I haven't been able to get any this week as my PT is so busy, and I'm restricted as my husband is on lates and I don't have anyone to look after the kids, so I have to do my workouts in the morning.

    I also average around 16,000 steps on my Fitbit.
