    I do 5-6 days a week. (But not this past week...only did 4. Yikes). I have quite a bit of fat left to lose and do lots of compound moves in strength training.

    Sun OFF
    Mon PT or on own, Strength (lifting and calisthenics) + a few intervals on treadmill
    Tues Intervals on TM or elliptical
    Wed PT, high intensity cardio and weights 45 min
    Thurs Light cardio or OFF
    Fri PT, strength (lifting and calisthenics) + a few intervals on treadmill
    Sat Light cardio and/or core focus

    For strength training, I do kettlebells, dumbbells, squats, lunges, etc. I will try anything. I like to do new things so that I don't get bored. My trainer sometimes does strength and agility and game-oriented stuff too. It's fun.

    I work out everyday. Circuit training and walking/jog for 6 days a week.
    And one day out of the week, I'll just do walking and/or running.

    Monday - Rest day (however now I spin on Mondays... shame on me! :blushing: )
    Tuesday - Mid-long run 5-9miles
    Wednesday - 45min cross + weights
    Thursday - Speed training run 3-5miles (3 week rotation of pace, intervals, tempo runs)
    Friday - Rest
    Saturday - Long run 9-18miles
    Sunday - 45-60mins recovery cross + weights

    This my training schedule for a 30K race I am running in March. I don't consider it gospel, and I'm known to skip a workout once every 2 weeks or so. It happens. Life gets in the way. Right now I'm working out 6 days a week because I can't tear myself away from spinning, but ideally 5 days a week would be optimal.

    I'm trying Couch to 5K and it's going really well so that's 3/5. Try and do 30mins of wii fit or 20 mins on Dance Broadway in between and have sunday to rest! the wii sessions tend to fall by the wayside though!

    Currently in Phase 1 of P90X2,

    Sunday = X2 Core (Core workout using fitness ball, med balls)
    Monday = Plyocide (Jump training, combined with mind drills)
    Tuesday - Recovery & Mobility ( Stretching - Foam roller workout)
    Wednesday = X2 Total Body & Abs (Resistance Training w/ Instability incorporated)
    Thursday = X2 Yoga
    Friday = X2 Balance & Power ( resistance moves while balancing)
    Saturday = Recovery & Mobility ( Stretching - Foam roller workout)

    So far really difficult for me, the balance and coordination is slow but sure. I'm challenged and looking forward to the result!

    I attend Zumba or Cardio pump class 3x/week. Then I add at least 2 more days either swimming, biking or using one of the zillion workout tapes I have at home. I also try and take a walk on the weekends or yard work.

    I think the key is flexibility in the schedule and variety in the choices. I can workout at the gym, at home, or walk the neighborhood or park.

    I had a personal trainer when I first joined the gym. Besides the $$, I stopped using him because it felt too scheduled. I needed to be able to pop in the gym around a crazy, hospital and class schedule.

    As a nurse, I find I learn so much from the personal trainers that I can pass on to my patients!

    I did a round of PX90 (1) and loved it. But you are right, trying to get the coordination on some of the moves is crazy! Keep it up!:smile:

    5-6 days a week here. Normally every day at the gym I do 60 min on the treadmill on the weight loss setting and beef up my speed every week or so. When I come home I'll switch up either a Turbo Jam Video or Pilates.

    I workout 5 to 6 days a week. I do a different form of cardio each time. Before I do my cardio I do my weight training. I will do upper body one day, lower the next and always give a group of muscles a day off between working them again.
