    I switch up the workouts with Supersets, Giant sets, Heavy weight, Light weight and specific exercises for each muscle but in general its the same. I also change the duration of Circuit training vs Cardio. One week I will spend more time on Cardio the other week on Circuit training but I do both each day. Just trying to keep my body guessing.



    Monday - Circuit train - chest/back - Cardio Bike, treadmill or basketball
    Tuesday - Circuit train - Shoulders/Core - Cardio Bike, treadmill or basketball
    Wednesday - Circuit train - Legs/Arms - Cardio Bike, treadmill or basketball
    Thursday - Circuit train - Chest/Back - Cardio Bike, treadmill or basketball
    Friday - Circuit Train - Shoulders/Core - Cardio Bike, treadmill or basketball

    Mostly Cardio focused at the moment.

    Mondays - Gym - Mostly Tread Climber (40 - 60 mins) sometimes with some cross trainer/running thrown in.
    Tuesdays - Cycling
    Wednesday - Gym - Mix and Match 15mins on 3 to 4 pieces of equipment/excersizes (Swimming/Rowing/Cycling added to mondays) or sometimes I'll do a weights session.
    Thursdays - Cycle or Gym.
    Fridays - Depends how I feel, gym in the morning or nothing.
    Saturdays - rest up.
    Sundays - Cycling

    I also walk to and from the station in the mornings rather than catch the bus, that adds 30min walking to my totals. Though this evening I did get the bus home as It was shovelling rain.

    I do cardio 7 days a week. Most days I do about an hour of cardio, occasionally I will only do 30 minutes.
    I do strength training 2-3 days per week.
    I try to do some type of yoga at least 2-3 days per week.
    I just recently started doing pilates and hope to keep that up at least 1 day per week. Actually I would like to increase that to 2 times per week...we'll see.

    So far this week:

    Monday - Nothing. Was Bank Holiday in the UK and had a busy weekend so rested up.
    Today - 50mins on the Treadclimber followed by 10mins Swimming.



    Just thought it would be a good idea to track it :)

    Saturday I helped my mom move, was 3rd floor flat (it's a penthouse, low block) and after the first trip up the lift broke trapping a a family of 4, so ended up carrying everything up and down the stairs. Now THAT was a good work out :) Stair Climbing with heavy loads, Great fun.

    I work out with a personal trainer 4-5 times a week (Weights and 45 minutes of cardio/day) Plus hiking one day a week.
    I burn from 1600 to 2000 calories per day during total work out time (weights and cardio) and on hiking days i burn about 750-900 calories.

    Tuesday: Abs (home)
    Wednesday: 40-60 minutes Cardio + legs (gym)
    Thursday: Abs (home)
    Friday: 40-60 minutes Cardio + Arms (gym)
    Saturday: break
    Sunday: 90 minutes Cardio (zumba)

    But I tend to not make it the way I plan it ;)

    I switch it up all the time to help prevent a plateau & keep my body guessing! I workout 3-4 days a week for 45-90 minutes. Here's a list of the various workouts I do & often combine several of them for a total body routine:

    Treadmill - running 6.3 mph
    StairMaster - level 6, 20 min
    Erg (row machine) - 20 min
    Swimming, Freestyle - 45 min
    BodyPump - 60 min full body lifting class
    Strength training - various machines, dumbell workouts, etc

    And then more that I don't really consider a workout because its so much fun for me, like hiking, canoeing, fishing, and mountain biking!

    Capoeira (mixed cardio-stretch-strength all in one workout):

    Monday (90 minutes)
    Wednesday (120 minutes)
    Saturday (70 minutes)

    Monday to Friday: climbing 5 floors of stairs, at a minimum of two times a day as I refuse to use the elevator at work. Unless I have to carry a big box or many bags. Then I take the lift ;-) Oh and weather permitting, I walk the dog 20 minutes a day.

    That's it for now...

    Mine is:

    Monday: New Rules of Lifting for Women
    Tuesday: aquabiking
    Wednesday: Easy run (30-40 minutes)
    Thursday: NROLFW
    Friday: rest/walk dog
    Saturday: Run (30-40 minutes)
    Sunday: Rest/walk dog

    Of course I walk my dog more often, but on my rest days I'll go a bit further with him.

    I also play some dancing games on the wii whenever I feel up to it, especially on one of my rest days or instead of aquabiking.

    I have been doing quite random workouts (mostly workout DVDs).

    Here is my new plan, starting today (why wait for the new year?):

    Monday: Strength/Yoga, maybe some light cardio if I have a lot of time
    Tuesday: Run 2.5 miles + Stength (lower) + 30 mins optional extra cardio
    Wednesday: 30 mins crosstraining + abs
    Thursday: 2 mile run + full body strength (50 mins)
    Friday: Rest + (sometimes yoga)
    Saturday: 40 mins crosstraining + Upper body strength
    Sunday: 3 mile run

    The running is where I'm at now, and it is increased each week.
    Edit: The running/crosstraining is from am 8 week training program for a 10k

    On a normal Week

    Mon: Body Attack, Body Pump, Body Balance, Zumba
    Tues: Body Combat and Pump but now I think it will be circuits
    Wed: Attack and Yoga
    Thurs: Combat and Balance
    Friday - rest
    Sat: Pump, attack, combat
    Sun: Rest

    Walk 2 miles to work everyday and try to nip about for 30-45min walk during lunch.

    Looks more intimating than it really is, as classes are 45-60mins
