I was involved in an Adult Fitness program at our local hospital in January. I don;t think I will have the funds to do it in Feb. But my trainer had me doing cardio on Tues/Thurs and weight/strength training on M/W/F. I took Saturdays off (due to my job) and then on Sundays..I go out walking or use my home equipment (treadmill & Elliptical)0

I go to the gym six days a week. The only reason I don't go on Saturdays is because the gym opens at eight on Sats and I have to be at work at nine. So mon thru friday i go to the six am classes they have and work out until about seven thirty. Then on Sunday I just go whenever.
The reason I go every day is because if I don't, I know I will quit. In the past, I would say " Oh I don't feel like going today I will go tomorrow, and then I don't go and eventually I quit. But by going in the morning every day before work, I find it makes me feel amazing and it is more addicting. After a few day of not going, you fall back in to old habits and lose your motivation quicker. (Like if I was only going three times a week).0 -
Yes, I go to the gym every morning before work. For months, I did the crossramp/stepper for 60 to 90 minutes Mon-Wed-Friday, then alternated things like treadmill, bike and weights on Tues-Thurs. Just this week, I started C25K, so I'm doing that (plus focusing on strenght training - arms in particular) on M-W-F now, and did the stepper yesterday and will bike tomorrow. Some weeks I go spinning on Saturday morning, and in the nicer weather (I'm in Michigan), I like to bike and run or walk outdoors on the weekends. I usually always rest on Sunday (unless I do some leisurely biking outside)0

I'm starting my workouts at 6:30am this semester because of my later class schedule which has been great.
Monday/Wednesday/Friday: 30 minutes of HIIT cardio, 45 minutes of Powerflow
Tuesday/Thursday: 30 minutes of HIIT cardio, 30 minutes of strength training
Weekends vary depending on what I'm doing, I'll usually do some sort of full body circuit thing at home.
Haven't seen a ton of results so far, but I figure it has to start helping eventually, right?0 -

Keep working it, this balance is different for everyone battling weight, I am not a professional nor a nutritionist so handing out advice other than persistence works is certainly not my business.
On a personal level, I like you need to see regular results, not huge results just something. I personally have myself set up for
a 1200 calorie day, however I fluctuate under and over..... ( under probably not so good for me ) The exercise I feel is my bonus
to get me that 1 pound a week. That is my personal choice and I do not eat back exercise calories.
That being said, I make sure I eat prior to exercise ( at least 30 minutes before ) and if I am hungry when I am done and rehydrated I eat , something healthy but I eat. Hope that helps. Chin up even that burns calories. LOL have a wonderful day.0 -

In the past I have alternated Jillian Michaels' "Burn Fat, Boost Metabolism" with her "No More Trouble Zones". That made for cardio every other day and strength on the opposing days.
Since having my 5th baby though, I hadn't done much (he is almost 18 months), so I just started a C25K program MWF with my 10 year old son, and on T/Th I do Jillian's "No More Trouble Zones."0 -
