    I work out for an hour, three times per week, I use the treadmill.

    I will be using my cycle to go to and from work as the weather improves, so that will be more exercise to add on, as that will be a total of 40 mins cycling per day.

    Should be good for the old butt!!

    Omg this is exactly what i do! :glasses: the bike has been away for about 6 weeks now, will be coming out again soon.

    four to six times a week. i aim for 2-3 strength days, and 2-3 cardio days a week, all on alternating days, i.e. no strength training on consecutive days.

    remember, muscle builds on your rest days.

    I do cardio at the gym 5-7 days a week for 35-45 minutes. 3-4 days a week I add in some strength training after my cardio. On the weekends, I do a 2 mile power walk or a 2 mile hike with my dogs in addition to my cardio at the gym and any other activities I might have going on.

    I love the gym that I go to but I need to vary things to stop myself getting bored. I go to Zumba twice a week, Total Tone once, swimming once, and to the actual gym area once or twice a week where I use an Arc trainer and the resistance machines.

    Cardio 5-6 days a week with strength on those days alternating lower and upper... Thinking of throwing some water jogging into the mix along with a spin class or two

    I just started back my diet/exercise/lifestyle change last week, but I am doing, 30 minutes on the treadmill 6 days a week. I usually take Sunday off. I'll work up to 60 minutes eventually. :)

    I generally work out 7 days a week, with one day being stretching and flexibility. I work out for a minimum of 90 minutes a day. I average about 13 hours a week.

    * Sundays-Endurance Spin ( 2 hour spin class)
    * Monday-Arc Trainer and yoga (in a.m.)/P90X (p.m.)
    *Tuesdays-Spin 60 minutes/Run 30 minutes
    *Wednesdays-Insanity workout/yoga (a.m)
    *Thursdays-Spin/yoga (a.m.)/P90X (p.m.)
    *Fridays-Whatever I feel like doing that day-usually an Insanity workout/yoga
    *Saturdays-Whatever I feel like doing--usually something pretty light because Sundays are hard/yoga

    MWF: 50-60min of weights, 20-30min core, 20min stretch.
    TR: 30-35min elliptical, 15-20min bike, 20-30min core, 30+ min stretch.
    R: 90min pole class (after the hour practice), includes core and upper body conditioning, stretching, and of course dancing.

    MRU: 60min pole practice (don't always make all of these, but make most of them).
    T or S: Hour extra pole class, generally with a focus on cardio rather than tricks.

    I also walk about a mile commuting to and from work 3-4 days a week.

    * R = Thursday, U = Sunday.

    I wish I could find the energy to workout 6 days a week! what do you do when your low on energy??

    If I'm really wiped out, I skip it, or I do a shortened workout. But I workout after work on weekdays so I always have a snack that includes protein and carbs about around 4:00 so I'll have energy for it (usually almonds and either a Kashi bar or apple). And on the weekends I workout in morning.

    3x Strength Training
    6x Running (3xshort,2xmedium,1xlong)

    Once I get closer to race season I'll start adding my swimming back in and start cutting out the strength training due to time.

    I workout everyday...but only about 30 mins....I know thats not great but I seem to get light headed after that for some reason. I am sure that is cause I am so over weight and I am hoping that with time I can push harder...I am going to try to up it to 45 this week :)

    I am working out 5 days/week. On Mon/Wed/Fri I do 1 hour of cardio which for me is 30 min on the treadmill and 30 min on the elliptical. On Tues & Thurs I do a weight/strength training program on a circuit. I go through it twice..burns 600 calories.

    I work the week ends, so on Sat I do some light yoga mostly for the stretching (feels so good). And on Sunday maybe a bit of walking outside..just to keep moving a bit. On the weekends I don't worry so much about working out hard. I give my body a break.
