Tell me about your workout schedule

I get in 5 strength days a week and have an arm day, shoulder day, chest day, back day and leg day. If my week is too busy to allow for a single muscle group a day schedule, I'll combine for chest & back, arms & shoulders and legs. I also make sure to do 2-4 cardio sessions per week, and either do HIIT on the treadmill, intervals on the elliptical or play some basketball. I'll also throw core work in to one or two of those days. Keeps things different so I never get bored but also ensures all major and minor muscle groups are being worked.

I typically do workouts 6 days a week. As I'm doing the P90X2 (previously P90X and Insanity), I generally do one day of resistance then on the alternating day, do some form of cardio. For me, timing is rough just because I have an hour and half commute to work each way and that's on top of 10 hour days. I have one hour between getting my son on the bus and needing to start getting ready for work. That's not enough time to get in abs, so I do those after I get home at 10:30 at night. It's tough sometimes, but once you get a routine started, it's easier to maintain. Also, as you start to see results, your motivation goes up even higher.

I do cardio (brisk walking) every morning then do pilates 3x/week in the evening.

Cardio 3-4 mornings per week (intervals at lest twice)
Strength Training 2 mornings per week
Zumba Class 2 evenings per week
Yoga/PiYo Class 1 evening/1 saturday per week

Monday - Swim in the AM, run hills in the PM
Tuesday - Spin at lunch, Water aerobics in the PM
Wednesday - Swim in the AM, circuit class at lunch (this is my main weight training)
Thursday - Step/Spin/Strength class at lunch, run fartleks in the PM
Friday - Swim in the AM, yoga at lunch
Saturday - Long run (~60-75 min) whenever
Sunday - Rest

That is my schedule, but I usually only hit 7 workouts... I do also walk ~a mile on my each of my two breaks per day. My work is self-insured so they are very willing to accommodate working out, as it helps keeps cost down, so luckily I have aerobic/yoga teachers at my work, hence the lunch workouts.

I actually don't have a "set" routine of exercises - I try to do something different all the time. Whether its swimming, cycling, spin class, running, hiking, zumba, yoga - I keep my body guessing to avoid plateaus. I work out as often as I can and aim for a balance between cardio and strength. To me, variety is everything because I want to be overall fit.

I aim for 90 minutes at the gym 3 days a week, but if my schedule allows it, I'll stay for up to 2 hours.

My schedule right now is really light while I let my knees adjust to running.

I run 1 mile on Tuesday, 1 mile on Wednesday.

After 2 weeks of just running (and provided I don't collapse ) my week should look like this:

Monday: rest day
Tuesday: 1 mile run
Wednesday: strength train
Thursday: 1 mile run
Friday: strength train
Saturday: non-impact cardio
Sunday: rest day

In general I do 90 minuted of cardio with 30 minutes of resistance 6 days a week.

I rest resistance Tuesday and cardio every 10 days or so.
My resistance is lower weights but high reps, then heavy every 3rd workout.

And I split my body into 3 muscle groups:
1. Legs
2. Chest- triceps - shoulders
3. Arms - back

I do a lot of weird things for cardio like military march, boxing type training,
dancing, floor rolls, squat thrust intervals and the good ole jumping jack.
And I jog, swim, play tennis, fast walk and bike.

Lost 64lbs and nearly 20% body fat - it works for me.

Monday - Chest, Tri's, Shoulders (15 min.cardio)
Tuesday - Rest
Wednesday - Legs, Traps, Abs (15 min.cardio)
Thursday - Rest
Friday - Back, Biceps, Rear Delts (15 min.cardio)
Saturday - Rest
Sunday - Rest

typically I work out 6 days a week.

I alternate lower and upper body and on Wednesdays I usually run stairs at my sons school while he has basketball practice. On Sunday it's both upper and lower body day, which makes Monday my rest day! Saturday is some walking for cardio.

I have a strength training routine that I have made up on excel and take that with me to the gym so I can mark down what I do and with what weights. I do at least two different exercises from each group,.. (I do back exercises on lower body day though)

I also try to do crunches everyday and planks...

that's it in a small summary

Monday, Wednesday, Friday - Heavy Lifting Upper Body (Chest, Arms, Shoulders and Back)
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday - Heavy Lifting Lower Body & Abs
Sundays - Either rest day or just light cardio.

** As part of my calorie cycling approach, I generally add light cardio on my lifting days during my cut cycle.

I work full time, so I work out in the evenings & on weekends. I get most of my cardio from group classes. The schedule is changing in 2 weeks, so here's what it will be (similar to now, just days are switched):

Sunday: elliptical (30 min) & strength training (20 min)
Monday: rest
Tuesday: butts & guts class (60 min) & Zumba toning class (60 min)
Wednesday: kickboxing class (60 min) & strength training (20 min)
Thursday: boot camp class (60 min) & zumba class (60 min)
Friday: Zumba class (60 min) & strength training (20 min)
Saturday: Zumba toning class (60 min)

Even though there's lots of Zumba in there, I change it up enough with the other group classes. I do better in them than just using cardio machines...I get bored & don't do them as long!

Monday: Chest - Volleyball
Tuesday: Biceps and Triceps - Sprints
Wednesday: Legs
Thursday: Shoulders - Plyometrics
Friday - Back

I try to do as many compound exercises as I possibly can as well. Most of my strength training workouts last between an hour and an hour and a half. I play a lot of sports so weekends are either sports filled or skiing.

Finally got a schedule I think is doable.
Rushfit 4-5 days a week during the evening usually will rest on Sunday
Gym 2-3 days a week during lunch for weight training.

Planned Schedule (I almost always adjust it a little) - Winter:

Sunday AM - rest
Sunday PM - 60 min bike trainer
Monday AM - rest
Monday PM - weight training - abs and legs
Tuesday AM - 60 min swim
Tuesday PM - 60 min bike trainer
Wednesday AM - 5k run
Wednesday PM - weight training - arms, shoulders, lats
Thursday AM - 60 min swim
Thursday PM - 60 min bike trainer
Friday - rest
Saturday AM - long run - between 10k and 20k
Saturday PM - rest

Summer:

Sunday AM - rest
Sunday PM - rest
Monday AM - bike to work - 30 min
Monday PM - bike home - 30 min & weight training - abs/legs
Tuesday AM - 60 min swim
Tuesday PM - rest
Wednesday AM - 5k run
Wednesday PM - open water swim 1800 meters (might do two laps this coming summer, so 3600m)
Thursday AM - 60 min swim
Thursday PM - weight training - arms, shoulders, lats
Friday AM - bike to work
Friday PM - bike home
Saturday AM - 20 mile bike to lake, 1800m open water swim, 20 mile ride home (and this year I'll be adding a 5-10k run)
Saturday PM - rest (cause I deserve it after that morning workout!)

I have probably only once actually done all of these on each given day in one week - there are always other things to do, work stuff, etc., but it is important to have a set schedule to keep you on track. If I had to wake up every morning and decide what to do that day, it would be sleeping in.

Having a schedule like this, it is also motivation to get your gear ready ahead of time, which leads to less excuses at "go time". Friday nights in the summer include about 20 minutes of getting my nutrition and fluids on the bike, setting my gear out and airing up the tires. If the bike is ready to go at 6am it makes getting on it that much easier.
