    Mondays: cardio kickboxing
    Tuesdays: Morning Zumba class. Evening weights & a Spin Class.
    Wednesdays: Spin Class
    Thursday: Light Cardio & strength training
    Fridays: Spin class. Some weights & then Zumba.

    I use to run 4-6 days a week but blew my knees out a few years back...hence I piled on some weight. Spin seems to be the best replacement for me. I get enough of a workout plus it's not as harsh on my knees & the quad strengthening helps too :flowerforyou:

    I work doubles on Saturday & Sunday so I have no time to go to the gym. My two days off.

    I dont have a schedule. If i ever make one, I wont follow it . So, my workout is dependent on my mood. I try to get in 3 days of cardio - turbo jam & 2 days of abs/lower body exercises.

    My workout for Jan: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/kittuk86/view/jan-2012-workout-that-was-204280

    I work 12.5 hr shifts so I work 3 or 4 days (or nights) a week. On work days I walk alot! I average 28,000 steps so I guess this is exercise?!
    On my days off I run. I run 3 x a week and try to get 1 jillian or yoga DVD in there too :happy:

    I run every other day for 30-35 minutes with a longer of about an hour at the weekend, I work in a bar 2-3 nights a week and we have to clean from top to bottom at the end of every shift and I've just started walking to work/home again (1.2 miles each way)

    Compared to how I used to be i.e. never ran, never walked if I could drive, ate stupidly big portions etc I'm a completely different woman...and I love the new me. The old me doesn't understand...but to hell with her bad habits!

    I'm doing a half marathon training program, which has 4 days of different running (tempo, speed work, times/distances) and 3 "rest days" - I usually have one proper rest day after my long run (usually Sun, nice to have a rest before back to work!) and the other two "rest" days I do a short upper body weight circuit to keep my metabolism working and boost my strength, still giving my lower body recovery time.

    Just throwing this out there...... i noticed everyone has really good routines going but I didnt see anyone on a LIFTING program. There are a lot of people doing cardio programs but when it comes to lifting people just customize it seems. I do JIm Wendlers' 5/3/1 with the added hypertrophy program and accessory lifts. starting strength by mark ripptoe or layne nortons p.h.a.t are also great lifting programs.

    I keep up with sets,reps and weight with progression every workout. I also alternate different type of lifts for each body part to hit different angles. I follow my own powerlifting program from back in the day that I learned from others. Body building I try to get the pump for each muscle. Cardio is more or less a feel. I do keep a log also.

    I work out six days a week. Morning and afternoon (though I just started the morning) I brisk walk for about 10-20 mins in the morning (depending on what I have time for) and do light sit ups, lunges and squats.

    In the evenings I brisk walk/jog for 30 mins, jumping jacks, sit ups, squats, lunges, 3 days a week I do strength training with bands and a ball.

    I'm also doing Wendler's 5/3/1. I've done a variety of strength programs through the years and I like this one as well as any of them. Complex lifts that get me in and out of the gym quickly...with steady progression. I'm cutting fat right now so I also do 5 or 6 days of fasted cardio to start my day....and I do rowing intervals on a Concept 2 rower 3 times per week. I plan to add plyo and kenpo when I get to the last 10 or 12 pounds. I'm almost 50 years old now and I've decided that I will never again take cardio completely out of my routine. I'm getting too old for these intense cutting cycles and I've lost interest in hypertrophy at this point in my life. I'm big enough. I just want to remain lean and strong for the rest of my life. I'm following Clarence Bass's Lean for Life schedule from this point on. --scope

    How long have you done 5/3/1? I think its one of the best out there
    I switched to it in December when I started this cut. I was looking for something with less volume to better facilitate the reduced carbs. So far, so good. I'm feeling strong. I'm in week 3 of cycle 3. We'll see how long it takes me to hit the first reset.
