    Full body shave, self-tan, teeny tiny vest 3 sizes too small, hair gel, carry around a protein shake, thousand yard stare if anyone meets my eyes and practice orgasmic groaning & grunting.

    And in between I lift 3 times a week (full body) and cycle, spin, various cardio 3 times a week, 1 active rest day.

    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.

    I'm thinking that on Saturdays you should instead do supersets: chest + biceps.

    Do once if you are just starting. Do twice if your advanced.

    With my work schedule I only get to go to the gym twice a week. Which day I go varies week by week.

    When I do go, I start with 25-30 minutes of cardio (varies by type) then 90 minutes of lifting; one of my two days is chest/back, the other is shoulders/legs. Each week I rotate between light weights (sets of 8-12 reps), medium weights (4-6 reps) or heavy (1-3 reps).

    Usually go Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I do wrestling classes on Saturdays.

    I do 10 minutes on the treadmill to warm up, then go and do some weights, leg press, shoulder press, and I go around the machines until I'm feeling pretty tired. Then go on the rower for 10, and the bike for another 10
