Monday lift, All Pro+10min row
Tuesday swim
Wednesday lift, AllPro+10min row
Thursday swim
Friday lift, All Pro+10min row.
Saturday rest
Sunday yoga.
Each day of January+ 30Dsy Shred
I aim for 60x6.
Weights will burn a few calories and help with bone and muscle retention as well as re-sculpt the body. It is not a necessary tool for weight loss.
Cheers, h.

Monday: 1 hour bodyattack
Tuesday: run 13.6 km round the river
Wednesday: rest
Thursday: grit strength, half hour fast on the treadmill
Friday: run 13.6 km round the river
Saturday: grit cardio, cxworx, bodyattack
Sunday: long run (last was 19.5 km, next will be 20ish)
I also do some body weight stuff most days (squats, lunges, push-ups etc), walk about 10,000 steps a day, and have full time care of a 3 year old and an 18 month old and that's a workout in itself.
Obviously I'm cardio focussed. My goal is a marathon later this year. Running has got me (almost) to my goal weight and I've also fallen in love with it.0 -
This is my winter routine. Summer adds at least 30 minutes of gardening daily.
Monday: walk 40-70 minutes in the afternoon, walk 25 minutes in the evening. Vaccuum the entire house, moving furniture.
Tuesday: walk 40-70 minutes in the afternoon, walk 25 minutes in the evening. 20-30 minute free weights.
Wednesday: walk 40-70 minutes in the afternoon, walk 25 minutes in the evening. Vaccuum the entire house, moving furniture.
Thursday: walk 40-70 minutes in the afternoon, walk 25 minutes in the evening. 20-30 minute free weights.
Friday:walk 40-70 minutes in the afternoon, walk 25 minutes in the evening. Vaccuum the entire house, moving furniture.
Saturday: walk 80-120 minutes, frequently as a hike with very steep hills, mid-afternoon. Walk 25 minutes in evening.

Yes, its repetitive. I have a Labrador retriever and an English springer spaniel. They need a lot of walking, particularly the younger dog.
Variations: few. Sometimes I miss the evening walk, particularly when my lupus is giving me a bad time. Those days the afternoon walk goes down to about 35 minutes as well. If I'm feeling well but is *really* cold outside (like below -10 F) then I'll also work out on the elliptical.0 -
Monday - 45 mins Gym - 20 mins cardio (elliptical and /or treadmill HIIT), 25 minutes weights and calisthenics so push-ups, goblet squats, barbell rolls, weighted hipthrusts, step-ups, lunges, bodyweight squats, TRX / Cable etc etc
Wednesday - 75 mins Gym - 15 mins cardio warm-up then 60 mins with personal trainer - about 10 min cardio, barbell back squats, isolation exercises, calisthenics generally supersets of 3 x 12-15 reps
Friday or Saturday - repeat Monday
In between I try to hit 8-10K steps (fitbit) - some days I don't even hit about 6K though and I suffer the dog's scathing glances instead which must burn some calories
NB my lifts are compromised by ongoing tendonitis so no standard deadlifts bench work etc and it sucks!0 -
I walk 3 miles every day. So that's my cardio. And my hobby...Then I do ballet beautiful 4 times a week. (Bodyweight sculpting exercises, each workout is one hour, and it targets every muscle in the body.)0

Mon: 30 min HIIT
Tue: Rest
Wed: 60 min kettlebells
Thur: 60 min pilates
Fri: 60 min spinning
Sat: 60 min Barre
Sun: 45-60 min gym (~20-30 min cardio, elliptical or bike; 25-30 min weights)
I used to be pretty much pure cardio, with a bit of weights at the gym. I've very recently switched things around, so that I now have a lot more strength focus. I've added Barre for flexibility workout (it's also a solid cardio/bodystrength workout too). Due to a very busy Tuesday schedule, I've given myself that day off, as it was just hellish trying to fit a workout in that day, but I'm also flexible enough that I'll give myself another day off if my body tells me to slow down.
I'm actually not sure if specifically weight training helps with weight loss, rather than cardio, I just think you need to not focus on just one. If you're doing a combination of cardio, strength and flexibility workouts, then you're giving your body the best chance possible to be healthy. For me, it's my diet that is the driver to losing weight, my workouts are for creating the body I want, once the weight is gone! I know I have to put in the work now, even though I'm 25lb off my goal weight - no point starting when I get to my goal! Too late then!
My workout routine right now is basically establishing what will be a lifelong practice of exercising. I've discovered I get bored just being in a gym all week, and classes are the way for me to stay motivated. I keep my Sunday gym session, because it gets me out of bed, and getting an hour of exercise before my day has even started. For me, pilates is a non-mover - I love it, it's done me the world of good, and I enjoy my class. I'll keep changing up my class schedule, every few months, to keep it interesting - I'd definitely suggest, whatever your current routine, not to get stuck in a rut. Do the exercise you enjoy, instead of the instead you think you should be doing!0 -

Monday - Friday: Anywhere from 30-40 flights of stairs each day
Monday - Friday: Some walking each day. The amount will vary. There's my commute walk morning and evening (1 km total). And usually some sort of lunch walk (1-5 km). And there's often an evening walk (about 3 km) about 3 or 4 days a week. So some days I only walk about 2 km ... other days I walk as much as 9 km.
One weekday: We try to get in a bicycle ride after work, somewhere around 20-ish km ... maybe closer to 30 if we feel particularly energetic.
Weekend: We try to cycle a decent distance each day on the weekend, although sometimes one day might be a hike.
And weightlifting ... I try to do that at least 3 times a week.0 -

I workout 5 times per week.
3 days I lift weights.
2 days I do 30mins cardio.
Weights won't help you lose weight, but they'll go along way towards preserving muscle mass while you're losing (very important!).0 -

The rest is general cardio - a combination of walking or other cardio based workout tapes, recently picked up a crossfit class at work so I'm planning to replace the lunchtime walk with that (if I can survive it). In the spring/summer/fall I spend a lot of time outdoors working the farm, so in the winter I try to really ramp up the workouts to compensate for being indoors all the time.0
