Do you plan X number of cardio days each week and X number of strength days each week, or do you follow an exercise program? I'm not that great with following a strict exercise calendar, try as I might. I get bored too easily. I was thinking I would do the former, but I wanted to hear what you do. :smile: I need something more structured but not too structured.

    Mine's very simple, and is as follows (unless I don't have time to walk):

    Mon-Thurs: Walk 5+ Miles, Cycle 2+ Miles (with one of those days cycling 5+ Miles)
    Fri: Cycle 2+ Miles
    Sat: Gentle Exercise (e.g. A shorter walk, Kinect)
    Sun: Rest

    I try and do a bit of both on each visit to the gym. I get bored of doing the same thing everyday, if I had to do standard cardio machines and aerobics, I'd never go. I've tried most equipment and classes at my gym and come up with a mix of the ones I actually like to do
    Mon & thurs - boxercise / free weights / swimming
    Wed & sat - running / kettlebells / swimming
    Fri - spinning / swimming

    My schedule is the same every week and almost everyday. I don't like a lot of change, so it would probably bore you. :smile:

    Mon: Run
    Tues: Run
    Wed: Rest or Strength Training
    Thurs: Run
    Fri: Run
    Sat: Strength Training
    Sun: Rest

    The only time I deviate from the schedule is if I am preparing for a race.

    I run 7 days per week and do pushups and sit ups 7 days per week. It works.

    Monday - 30-45 minutes cardio
    Tuesday - MyMobileFit workout
    Wednesday - 30-45 minutes cardio
    Thursday - MyMobileFit workout
    Friday - 30-45 minutes cardio
    Saturday -MyMobileFit workout
    Sunday - Glorious rest day!

    Now that I'm fancy and have a gym membership:

    Monday- 1hr Zumba
    Tuesday- 1hr Body Combat, 1hr Body Flow
    Wednesday- treadmill at home (30- 45 mins)
    Thursday- 1hr Body Combat, 1hr Body Flow
    Friday- Treadmill at home (30-45 mins)
    Sat- Rest
    Sunday- 1hr Zumba or rest

    For the next two months anyway... Hopefully I can continue to afford it. I'm in LOVE with Body Combat and if I could make it to more classes I would!
