    I do bootcamp m-f. We do chest and tris, legs and shoulders, back and bis, legs and shoulders, friday is an allover day-it is hard core circut training. Then in the mornings on Mon, Wed, Fri I go to the gym and do either spin or elliptical. Saturdays I usually run in the mornings about 2 miles and then I go do elliptical. Every once in a while I change it up and will swim.

    Current:

    - Functional cycling at 14-16 mph (vigorous) for 30 minutes to Uni, and 30 minutes back twice a week.
    - Walking to an from the shops three times a week or so at 2.5 mph (leisurely) for 20 minutes.

    Beginning this week:

    I've download the 'couch to 5k' app on my iphone and plan on starting tomorrow. The first session will be alternating 60 seconds of running with 90 seconds of walking for 20 minutes. In nine weeks I'll be running 5km in 30 minutes three times a week.

    Other ideas:

    - Indoor rock climbing
    - A martial arts of some kind
    - Walking to a park and playing frisbee with family/friends
    - etc...

    I'm not hard-core or anything, and I don't have a routine, because I will get bored and end up not doing anything, but some of the things I do are...

    treadmill (walk/jog)
    walk outside
    Elliptical
    DVDs - 30 Day Shred, Amy Dixon, Leslie Sansone...
    Free weights

    I also made up index cards with different strength, arms, back and abs exercises on them. I will do a 5 minute cardio warm-up and then do something from a card for 30 - 60 seconds before moving onto the next...I usually do about 5 - 10 cards before taking a 60 second walk-in-place rest, then do another "circuit" until I want to either throw up or collapse :)

    I don't really have a routine, I like to mix it up all the time to keep it interesting

    3-5x per week - cardio - walk or walk/run outside, or a variety of cardio machines in the gym.
    2-3x per week - circuit or strength training - either 30DS, No More Troubles Zones, Spartacus or some of the traditional moves with free weights and machines

    Insanity :-) 6x/week

    Sometimes I will swap out a day for running if its nice outside and I want some fresh air.

    I would love to connect with others doing insanity or any other routine-its nice to see others' success when I log on to MFP in the AM! This is my second time doing it, I had great success last time but fell out of the exercise/fitness routine and here I am back at square one.

    Tuesday - Power Yoga (1 hour)

    Friday - 5 min. stairmaster warm-up, followed strength training (Stage 1 - Workout A) takes approx. 30-45 min. then HIIT treadmill for 5 min or Jacob's Ladder.

    Soon my weight sessions will build to 1 hour each. I can't wait! lol.
