You do you. Keep challenging yourself and you will be great.0 -
My fitness timetable changes every few months because I get bored quickly if I don't have a new challenge. At the moment a good week looks like this:
Monday am: T25 pm: weight training
Tuesday am: T25 pm: speed run (2-3 miles) Wednesday am: T25
Thursday am: T25 pm: easy run (3-4 miles)
Friday am: T25 pm: weight training
Saturday: rest day
Sunday am: long run (5 miles and increasing this distance every week) pm: T25 stretch0 -
I don't have a fixed workout routine. I just try to hike twice a week.0

Just living my life is all the workout I need.
Sunday-Thursday My job. About 14000 steps a day
Sunday-1.5 hours of martial arts
Tuesday-2 hours of martial arts
Thursday-2 hours of martial arts
Friday-Rest day
Saturday 1-3 hours of hoof trimming0 -
Hi new here but I've been doing the kayla itsines circuits and jogging along with going to dance class a few days a week; I like the circuits because they mix resistance training with some cardio also
Monday- BBG Circuit and 25 minute jog
Tuesday- BBG Circuit and 2 hours dance class
Wednesday- 3 hours dance class
Thursday- 25 minute jog and 1.5 hours dance class
Friday- 25 minute jog
Saturday- 2 hours dance and BBG Circuit
Sunday- 30 minute jog0 -
Monday through Thursday I swim 1-1.5 miles each day, weather permitting. If I am unable to swim I walk 5-6 miles.
Every morning I spend about an hour stretching, yoga and core work to support my bad back.
On my Friday as Sunday I do hand weights and Pilates.
Saturday is usually a rest day unless the weather is beautiful, then I will walk 5-6 miles.
While I enjoy exercise and the way it makes me feel, I hope I don't have to do this much for the rest of my life, it takes so much effort and time, both the exercise and the meal planning.
Once I hit my goal (10 lbs or less away) it will be interesting to see how my 58 year old, low thyroid body does on maintenance.0 -
Monday Spartan Race- Training- includes a HITT portion usually, lots of bear crawls, pull-ups, TRX training, tire flips, etc
Tuesday-Rest
Wednesday- HITT class 30 mins followed by interval training kettle bells, weights
Thursday- Spartan Race Training
Friday - Run with intervals of 4 mph to 7 mph 3 or 4 miles
Saturday- Spartan Race training
Sunday Run- (same as Friday)
However- I am 54 years-old and need an extra rest day which can be any day I feel it is needed. If my heart rate is a little higher in the morning or if I feel exhausted I take a day off, sometimes even two. Gains are made during rest periods so they are very important. For some athletes, myself included, it takes as much discipline to rest as it does to workout.0 -
@thereshegoesagain I'm pretty convinced I'll need to be this active forever... Use it or lose it!0

M- Pilates and Power Yoga or cardio
T-Spin class
W-Spin class
Th-Body shred+abs class
F-Power Yoga and cardio
S-Rest or Body Pump class
Su-Rest or Spin class and Yoga0 -

Don't fret about it: Who's most likely to post on a thread about how much you work out, people who do it a lot, or people who rarely/never do it?
You're looking at selection bias on the hoof.0 -
Right now I've been working out for about 2 weeks just starting. But for 5days a week I try do work out for 30mins doing cardio and strength training all at home. I don't like gyms sept the treadmill. And I try to do jog 4 days a week for as long as I can but at least 10-20minutes!0

Like a few others on this thread, I follow PHUL (Power Hypertrophy Upper Lower) preceded by 5 to 10 minutes of elliptical and then dynamic stretching.
Monday -Power upper
Tues- Power lower
Wed-Run (mood permitting) and or yoga
Thurs-Hypertrophy upper
Friday-Hypertrophy lower
Sat & Sunday is usually no intentional exercise but active chores or playing - yard work, splitting wood, chasing the dog, etc.0 -

All classes one hour, all classes Les Mills. Tuesday and Wednesday are optional depending on my schedule:
Monday: BodyStep and BodyPump
Tuesday: BodyPump and BodyAttack
Wednesday: BodyStep and BodyPump
Saturday: BodyCombat and BodyPump
Lots of BodyPump there, so some days when I don't feel like dealing with the weights, I leave after the first class0 -
Monday - BBG legs/cardio
Tuesday - half hour run and weight training then body balance later that night
Wednesday - BBG arms/abs
Thursday - interval training runs and later body balance
Friday - BBG full body some weeks and occasionally weight machine circuit
Saturday - weight training and longer run which I'm slowly building up
Sunday - rest
That's if I had a perfect week though! Often workouts get skipped or moved around, just depends what's happening in my life or even how sore my legs might be one day.

Monday to Friday, 6am Crossfit for 60mins before work, weekends 'off' but will try to practice my skipping and work on my du's at home0
