    Monday, Wednesday, Friday: walk 10,000 steps, swim 1.25 miles, water aerobics class. One long walk in the morning, pool time is late afternoon

    Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday: walk 15,000 steps (approx 7 miles). often I do one long walk in the morning and one shorter walk in the afternoon unless my hiking club has a hike scheduled that I want to go on (Tuesday night and Saturday), then I adjust my neighborhood walks accordingly.

    Sunday: rest if I need it, otherwise I walk but I don't have a specific goal. hiking club schedules hikes on Sundays too so I may or may not go on one.

    I work out with a trainer two days per week. On Saturdays I take a "Burn" class (think aerobics class on triple steroids) with a gym trainer. Another day each week, I take a "Strength" class with a gym trainer that uses dumbbells and kettle bells to strengthen and tone. During the week, I try to walk 3 miles on 5-6 days. Except for Saturday, the other activities rotate depending on when my training sessions are.

    I've done a lot of different things... Beachbody programs and walking on off days mostly. Or walking/running with weights every other day. I typically don't take rest days unless my legs are really starting to hurt (like today) because I need the break (I'm a SAHM and an introvert, so I need some 'me' time and I'd rather go for a walk than go shopping).

    Lately I've been going to the gym pretty much every day walking at an incline for an hour (pretty steep one day, then less steep the next to rest my legs some) and doing weights at home 3x a week. When the kids go back to school I'll probably start Les Mills Combat again (on DVD at home) and walk or bike (stationary bike) on days off, like I did last year. Sometimes I walk an extra 3 miles during the day too once it starts being nice outside and the kids are at school.

    The key is to find a schedule that's doable for you long term.

    Monday - 5K AM/weight room PM
    Tuesday - cycle (climbing/hill work)
    Wednesday cycle AM (flats - easy pace)/weight room PM
    Thursday - cycle (race tempo flats)
    Friday - Rest
    Saturday - cycle to gym and lift and cycle home
    Sunday - long ride and/or group ride

    It's not set in stone though...you have to be flexible...like my ride tomorrow is going to be a family ride to the zoo which is 15 miles each way...so I get in some miles and get to spend some time with my family walking around the zoo...but this rather than a dedicated training ride.

    Sometimes I swap rest days...sometimes I take more than one rest day...you have to be flexible.

    I would encourage you to set some fitness goals that are independent of weight management, etc and allow those goals to dictate your fitness regimen.

    Run three days a week and sign up for a run every couple months. Yoga Friday after work. A power (group lifting) or Zumba class sometimes midweek. Hubby and I often take a walk to our Tim Horton's on the weekend (forty minute round trip). There are stretches I'm supposed to do daily but I've let that slide.

    Currently I'm doing:

    Monday - Boot Camp
    Tuesday - Kickboxing
    Wednesday - Trainer & Boot Camp
    Thursday - Kickboxing
    Friday - I've been slacking I need to add a gym day back in here
    Saturday - Hiking
    Sunday - Hiking

    I really need to add in some more time at the gym. Just hard to fit everything in and still have time for other things. I don't do enough cardio or strength training. I need to get back to doing some yoga because I'm not flexible at all. I should be doing my pilates class too because I need the core work. When my son was working nights it was a lot easier to spend 2 or 3 hours at the gym a day but now that he's home I slack off and go home and make dinner in the evenings.
