How do y'all so y'alls workouts? Daily or every other day? I've been trying to about 20 mins daily. But yesterday I did a lot of leg and core workouts so I'm cramping. Would it be good to still do a little today? Just not as much leg stuff or stay at the same exercise? I don't wanna fatigue my body.

I go to the gym 5 days a week and the other 2 days I still do something to be active like extra long walk with the dogs or a hike of some sort. Keeping the habit up is important to me because otherwise by Monday morning it's so hard to be motivated again. So I just never stop. Think of the other benefits of exercise too, like increase energy, de-stressing, heart health etc.5

I lift on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday following a non-linear undulating periodization scheme. I cycle on Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I walk during my lunch breaks on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Thursday is typically my rest day. I do some yoga here and there.
My rides vary from long rides, shorter interval rides, hill repeats, recovery rides, etc.2 -

I pay $84 a year to the state, who distributes it somehow to people who drive a big machine around the woods in the snowy mountains. Then I drive an hour or more, and ski on the trails they groomed. I'm sitting here looking at the grooming report, hitting the refresh button, waiting for an update. Planned to spend 3 or 4 hours skiing today. Looks like it might be a bike ride instead.3 -
I lift basically everyday just working one body part a day once a week. No more than 30-40 mins max. That said, I'm also more maintaining now.

Mine is fairly static and looks like:
Mon 6am Gym (Upper Body 5x5)
Tue Rest
Wed 6am Gym (lower body 5x5)
Thu Rest (or 60min road cycle in summer)
Fri 6am Gym (whole body 3 group supersets, reps of 10,15,20)
Sat 1hr karate
Sun 1hr karate
I have a static job so need as much movement as I can!1 -
I alternate biking and walking (sometimes with some jogging) MWF and TRS respectfully. And I'm currently doing back on pointe's January challenge this month from Tumblr. It incorporates different focus areas each day and she offers a ton of options so you can make the challenge focus on your needs.0

I am focusing on body recomp/ gaining muscle so I am doing a hypertrophy weight lifting routine 5 X a week.
Sunday- glute isolation and HIIT
Monday- back and steady state cardio
Tuesday- legs (squat day)
Wednesday- shoulders and triceps
Thursday- legs (deadlift day)1 -
I go to the gym 5-6 days a week. M/W/F I do lots of squats/lunges/rowing/cardio and T/TH/S I do more workout machines. Sun is rest day. As a family we go on walks (when it's not so damn snowy) and hikes on the weekends. When my baby is older this summer I plan on getting her on my road bike with me.
I like going to the gym, it keeps me happy and from stabbing people.
If I were you, I'd go and just work arms. Give your legs a rest if you feel you need it. Be sure to stretch a lot too after you workout, and take an epsom salt bath before bed.2 -
Monday - spin plus weights (chest, bis/tris and core)
Tuesday - cardiovascular running class plus weights (shoulders and legs)
Wednesday - spin plus light weights
Thursday - 2 mile run plus intense weight sets (chest, bis/tris and core)
Friday - Eliptical plus intense weights (shoulders)
Saturday - light cardiovascular
Sunday - rest/recovery1 -
I lift 3x per week, full body with focus on glutes and legs. I also do one yoga session per week.
You will feel sore in the beginning more with a new program, I will usually do some stretching, walking or light cardio if I am in a lot of pain the next day which I find helps the soreness. Listen to your body and don't overdo it if you feel injured in any way.1 -
6 days a week push-pull-legs split + 30 minutes of cardio after every session.1

I run 5 days a week: 6 miles, 4, 6, rest, 5, 9, rest. On rest days I'll do some biking or use the elliptical or swim if I'm able. In fact, I try to swim when I can even in addition to running or simply in place of it. But I travel 18 days a month for work, so swimming is hit or miss. I also try to do some body weight exercises most days of the week and hit 15K steps regardless of what formal workout I do.1

I do something every day, have ramped up to an hour most days. I run almost every day on my treadmill, and intersperse stationary bike, free weights and bodyweight circuit stuff for variety, depending on what I feel like. A 'rest day' might be a good long walk around my neighbourhood if I'm under the weather or exceptionally tired (or ahem, a little hungover like today).1

@NorthCascades or any others who have an interest...Will you give a little more info about your ski experience? I'm thinking of doing the Michigan DNR HeartMISnow virtual 5K. The activity I choose is up to me. I want to do cross country skiing.
I ran 3 - 5Ks and did a Tough Mudder this summer. I continue to workout regularly. Just wondering if cross country skiing a 5K is doable without significant training? It's not that I've NEVER XC skied but I have no means of judging how much stamina/endurance is necessary for a 5K.0 -
Gym - M/W/F - 1.5 hrs of Xtrainer & treadmill, core/floor exerrcise and weights for the legs/lower body.
T/Th - 1.5 hrs of Xtrainer & treadmill, core/floor exercise and weights for the arms/upper-body.
Weekends I try and walk, but will take up cycling at the end of this month.0 -
I don't really have a strict regimen right now; I'm working up to that, since I signed up for an hour long weightlifting class for my spring semester.
Currently I do half an hour of hatha yoga about 5x a week, resting when my muscles get too sore. I also keep two 10 pound dumbbells by the TV so that I can do curls and overhead presses while video games are loading or playing a cutscene.
During the school year I spend about 2 hours of my day just walking, so I don't usually do any exercise on top of that, but I do yoga on the weekends with friends and occasionally go swimming or use the elliptical.0
