I have found that if I skip one day, I’m extremely likely to skip the next, then a week, then I dread my workouts. So, every day I’m in the gym or at the studio.

Here’s my schedule:

Sunday: Pilates (Reformer) 50 min + leisurely outdoor bike ride or walk 60 min

Monday: Circuit 50 min

Tuesday: Spin 50 min

Wednesday: Pilates (Reformer) 50 min

Thursday: Pilates (Reformer), Hip Hop Yoga or Spin 50 min

Friday: Spin 50 min

Saturday: Pilates (Reformer) 50 min + Spin 50 min

Every Day: 5,000 steps in addition to scheduled workouts

    I feel the same way. I can’t skip a day or I lose momentum. But I found a happy middle ground in walking. It’s not a very intense exercise but I do still have to stay accountable and do it.

    Everyday I walk at least 10k steps, sometimes up to 20k. In addition I weighlift Monday, Wednesday, & Friday.

    Very nice and absolutely doable. Do you weightlift at a gym or as part of a CrossFit group?

    I do total body weight seshs every other day, and 90 min cardio on off days. Sunday is 2 hr cardio as i have all the time in the world not working.
    Wednesday is meant 2 be a rest day....so 3 weight days, and 3 cardio days. But yeah i dont rest. And do 90 min of cardio.

    I try (and usually fail, ugh) to make one of my rest days (I take two) an active day (like yoga). But what works for me is making sure that my first day back at a new week starts with one of my favorite workouts.

    I find working out to be relaxing and fun. It's my time to create the experience I'm looking for - I'm my own personal trainer! :-)

    I've been doing the routine (below) for 3-4 weeks and am about to switch it up

    Mon -
    morning: yoga with Adrienne, fitness blender standing abs.
    evening: run / walk 2-4 miles.
    Tue -
    morning: yoga with Adrienne, fitness blender upper body strength workout (weight training)
    evening: walk 2-4 miles
    Wed -
    morning: yoga with Erica
    evening: gym cardio (stairmaster, non impact running, and/ or bike
    Thu -
    morning: yoga my own, fitness blender standing abs & cardio
    evening: Swim laps 30- 50 min (front crawl, breast stroke, butterfly fast & vigorous)
    Fri -
    morning: yoga with Erica, fitness blender total body strength workout (weight training)
    evening: walk/ run 1-3 miles
    Sat - deep cleaning w/ core engaged and mindfully breathing (my Mr. Miyagi workout)
    evening: A relaxing stroll or gentle swim.
    Sun - afternoon: swim or walk according to my energy level at the time.

    Next week I plan to trade out weight training with bodyweight only and add another day of gym cardio if I find the time to get there.
