I have been running the C25K Mon, Wed, & Friday. This is my last week, but I think I'm still gonna train on those days to run my 5K in October.

Tues & Thurs I do levels 1, 2, & 3 of the Biggest Loser Sculpt & tone DVD. I've been using 3lb weights, but thinking about moving up in weights because its starting to become easy.

What's your routine/schedule? Just wanna see what others are doing.

    I typically run Sunday to Thursday. If it's too hot or raining, I'll go to the gym.

    I'm doing C25k but usually 4 days a week (since I like to have an extra day for each week before moving up). I also walk 2 days a week, and lift weights 3-4 days a week. Just off on Sundays.

    gah...I need a schedule, right now I'm just running/step aerobics when I can fit it in. I have an ortho appt tomorrow so hopefully I can find out what else I can do with my torn ACL.

    BTW you have motivated me to try the C25K, and I found a 5K I want to sign up for!

    I finished couch to 5k... but I still run 30 minutes (inside) 6 days a week. I also do Jillian Michaels 30 day shred 6 days a week. I start with Jillian Michaels, because it's "harder" for me... then I take like a 10 minute break to cool down, and go right into a 30 minute run... I think once my inches lost/ and weight loss slows down, I'll probably switch it up. I'm a wicked creature of habit though, and I LOVE doing the same thing for every workout. Doing the 30 day shred, I lost an inch from my waist, and an inch from my hips in one week!

    My trainer suggest 2 on 1 off 3 on 1 off but that is not what I do. I typically workout 6 days a week. My off day can vary. This week I am taking wednesday off cause I have a meeting after work. I use to always take saturdays off but since i started Zumba that is one day I can usually make it to class so it now varies.

    Tai Chi in the morning, before co-worker come in.
    After work at the gym: weight training, elliptical and cool down on the treadmill.
    Weekends add time in the pool at the gym.

    In the mornings, I do Jillian MIchael's 30 Day shred(tomorrow will be Day 5 of Level 1). I also do mini challenges like pushups and situps.
    In the evenings, I take classes at the gym. I also work out on the Arc for 20 minutes and walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes.

    My rest days are the weekends.

    I run a 5.6 mile loop on at least 3 weekdays (ideally 4, but life happens) plus a 'long run' on the weekend that as of this week is up to 8 miles. I also just started the 30 Day Shred, which I am trying to do 6 days a week. Due to my totally erratic work schedule (I'm a nurse and rotate days, nights, and weekends with some combination of 8 and/or 12 hour shifts) the day of the week that I do things on is rarely consistent.

    W: Zumba
    Thur: Zumba
    Fri Another work out video
    Sat, a work out video
    Sun OFF

    Maybe I will do what someone else said, 2 on 1 off 3 on 1 off, sounds like a better plan. By Sun I am usually just whooped!

    I just finished c25k as well and still run M/W/F. I'm working towards a 5k in Sept. I started doing 30DS daily but have now dropped to doing it just T/Th/Sat because I was too worn out combining it with the run. I try to do elliptical or Zumba on those days as well as I don't find it as tiring. And then Sunday is for a family activity like bike ride or hike.

    My routine: Go to kung fu training at least three days a week.

    For the last 2 weeks, I have been exercising to various videos for at least 40 minutes in the morning, making a 5 day workout schedule.

    I'm trying to bust through a plateau by adding exercise and trying to eat back to within 200 of my exercise calories. Somedays it is nearly impossible without shoving junk down my throat just for numbers sake. However, I figure with a margin of error in calculating exercise and calories, maybe I'm doing it right. It has been a struggle this last few months to lose the last few inches off my stomach/love handle area.
