    Mine is all over the place, otherwise I get bored! Gym, yoga studio, outdoors, etc.
    My Sunday and Wednesday workouts are classes, so those are pretty firm in my schedule. The rest is up to me, so I can sub things if I'm not in the mood, or I'm sore, or whatever.
    A typical week looks like this:

    Mon: Weight training (total body, heavier)
    Tues: Yoga or a long walk
    Wed: 5:30 pm spin class
    Thurs: Metabolic workout (compound exercises, circuit, little rest, lighter weights)
    Fri: varies, depending on mood. Could be walk, hike, cardio, yoga....
    Sat: Hike 5+ miles or, if weather sucks, hill intervals on treadmill at gym
    Sun: 5pm yoga class

    My yoga days are my rest days.

    I have no set schedule, more of a general plan. Strength days are typically full body, with the occasional upper/lower focus. Some have a quick finisher for conditioning, some workouts are built towards increasing work capacity. A few are just nice easy hikes, or lower intensity runs.

    My schedules is largely determined by what's going on in other aspects of life (kids, work, etc etc)... but generally speaking, I try to lift 3x week (2 upper body days, 1 lower body), play basketball 2x week, and hopefully get in some biking and running.

    I might hike with my wife, walk my dog, or ride bikes with my kids, too... but I don't consider those workouts.

    Mine changes a bit based on what I have going on but this is the basic gist of it:

    Monday: upper strength (ohp)
    Tuesday: walk/run
    Wednesday: lower strength (squat) + walk
    Thursday: walk/run
    Friday: upper strength (bench)
    Saturday: lower strength (deadlift) + walk/sprint
    Sunday: rest

    Sometimes I do my ohp day on Sunday and squats on Tuesday but Friday/Saturday tend to remain fairly constant.

    I just altered my workouts for a change. I am now trying for 5 days per week, alternating upper and lower body with abs and cardio every day. I also take CX works on Thursday and Yoga on Tuesday. I just found out (if it's true) that Sliver Sneakers provides personal trainers free of charge. I have been working out for over 18 years, but a reboot is always nice.

    I walk my dogs every day, between 2 and 4 miles usually.
    Sunday: Rest (unless I have a race)
    Monday: am - Run 2 miles, pm - run 3 - 4 miles, speed intervals
    Tuesday: am - Run 2 miles, pm - 1hr gymnastics class
    Wednesday: am - Run 2 miles, pm - 3 - 5 mile tempo run
    Thursday: am - Run 2 miles, pm - 1hr gymnastics class
    Friday: am - Run 2 miles
    Saturday: Long run (6 - 10 miles)

    Gymnastics provides some strength training and I'll occasionally do some pull ups or hanging ab exercises when I pass by the pull up bar in my house, but I'll be subbing strength for some of the running after my half in October.

    Monday: 90 minute boot camp
    Tuesday: Weight lifting
    Wednesday: 90 minute boot camp
    Thursday: 60 minute stability ball class
    Friday: Weight lifting
    Saturday: Rest day or cardio
    Sunday: Weight lifting

    My boot camps consist of a lot of body weight work, plyometrics, cardio, and low-weight strength training.
    Right now my weight lifting program of choice is NROL4W, but I am almost finished and will be doing a different program after that (likely ICF), but still on the same days of the week.
    I add in cardio for an extra calorie boost whenever I have time - often on my weight lifting days. Sometimes I do intervals on the treadmill, or walking, biking, rollerblading, etc.

    A good beginner routine is stronglifts 5x5. There are some good routines on bodybuilding.com, it also has an index which shows you all the lifts, form and muscle groups with pictures and videos, it's worth a read.

    Go over to bodybuilding.com and look up Allpro, or Fierce 5. Following either of those will get you well on your way. Get your nutrition on point, that is the first thing above all others though. Good luck.
