What is your workout schedule?

Cardio 3 times per week, brisk walking 4 times per week, weight lifting 6 days a week. Once a month I do nothing, sit on my butt all day and do nothing. I like those days. Walking is best for belly fat, allot of research from Harvard has backed that up. Cardo for the heart and extra body fat. When I get down another 5 or 10 pounds, I might start jogging. The lifting consists of two body parts per day, chest/shoulders, biceps/legs, triceps/back. I also switch every couple of weeks. It seems to be working.

I do cardio just about everyday, and then I do like, target workouts every other day.
Example:

Monday, - work on thighs, so lunges and squats.
Wednesday - work on butt/upper arms.
Friday - work on abs.

The other days are just regular cardio. Then you target something, and give your body time to rest, so you're not sore everyday, all over haha.

I do some sort of cardio 6x week...exercise bike, treadmill, elliptical trainer. I also started a kickboxing video...that covers both cardio and muscles! I also try to do strength training at least another day or two. I take one day off a week...but I have to make sure that day to stick to my calories! Hope this helps, and good luck!

Right now I am on vacation from school so my schedule will probably change considerably once classes start back up. So far I've been on a 5 day workout plan where I devote at least an hour a day to cardio. I find that Mondays are the best day to go nuts with fitness because its early and the stress of the week hasn't truly begun and the guilt of the weekend's festivities is highly motivational. Monday nights for me are the craziest part of my workout schedule, I take 3 classes at the local YMCA:
-1hr Mat Pilates -1hr Vinyasa Yoga - 1hr Step Aerobics

Every other day I divide my workouts into 30 or 15 minute incraments, either running, biking or using the elliptical. It varies on how long I do each workout, but I try to aim to make each day's cardio total up to 60 minutes (or more) before moving on to strength training which I do low weight high reps until I basically can't do anymore.

I walk every weekday as part of my job, between 2 and 4.4 miles, depending on the day/client. Sometimes I walk my own dogs on a 3.4 mile route, too.

On top of that, I do 3 days of strength training and 3 days of cardio. On strength training days, I alternate between upper body and lower body routines. On cardio days, I also work my abs, since I don't fit them into my strength days (time limitation) On my strength days, I always start and end with a little cardio (10-15 mins minimum pre and post) to get my blood flowing and help fight the soreness.

In a few weeks I will change things up a bit so my body doesn't get too used to my routine. Once I get a bit more endurance, I'm going to start trying to run (which I hate).

Sundays I rest completely.

I alternate between a Tamilee Webb tape...which I THINK is low-key cardio....and strength training every other day. I run in place every day. I don't feel intense burning, but I do feel a little bit. I certainly hope I get results!:laugh:

I have class everyday, so I condition myself to work out everyday as well. Not a heavy one though (in my standards, at least). I'm a sucker for cardio so it's 15 minutes of 8.0 on the treadmill and another 15 minutes of 4.5 to cool down. And 30 minutes on the elliptical machine (average 57-60 rpm).

Makes my day a Day :happy:
