what does a typical week of working out look like

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.

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.

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.)

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!

1 - weights, legs and shoulders
2- run, 6 miles easy
3 - weights, chest
4 - run, hill sprints

I cycle to and from work every day (appx. 30 minutes) and walk everywhere else.

I am specifically training for a half marathon so here is what my weeks look like:

Wed - bootcamp in evening
Thurs - rest or power step in evening or 3/4 miles Nordic walking
Fri - bootcamp in evening
Sat - if rest on Thurs, DVD @ home or hour mixed cardio @ gym
Sun - power step in morning

I've dialled it back a bit as my knees are feeling their age.

P90X3 in the mornings and 30 minutes of cycling in the evenings.

everyday (weather above 35 degrees cause i live in the south and dont do cold) - up to 3 mile jog
m,w,f - 45-60 minutes cardio (arc trainer or elliptical) and about 30 minutes of strength training (before cardio)
t,th - 60 minutes cardio

those are all averages and not set in stone, but its pretty routine for me. in the summer im in the pool every afternoon but dont count it as exercise

I just started about 3 weeks ago so my focus has been cardio for the first month. Working full time and caring for a family, I've been hitting the treadmill for 30-60 minutes 6 times a week. Next month I'm hoping to add some strength training - although, I think I already do a lot with lifting a 25 lb 11 month old. start gradually and find something you can do easily and fun for you.

As you can tell I'm big on yoga, core and cardio.

Can you tell me the benefits of yoga? I'm actually thinking of joining a class

I walk/hike 6-7 days per week, up to 3 miles.

I was going to the gym three days per week for strength training, but for the last two weeks have done up to 90 minutes of yoga instead, plus some modified bodyweight exercises from New Rules of Lifting for Women/Strong. I didn't have the strength for most of his core/bodyweight exercises and can't do the lower body portions due to my knees.

I had three conflicting strength training programs rattling around in my head, and decided to chuck them all for yoga for now.
