    My goal is to make it to the gym 3-4 days and then to workout at home or go hiking the other days. My gym routine is all cardio right now (yes I know I need to start adding in some strenght training). Some days I run 2min-walk 1min and do this for 30 minutes or 5k walking or 30-45m on eliptical. Today I warmed up 10min walk on treadmil, then 20 min on rolling stair, 20 min armcycle 20 min eliptical, 20 bike and cool down 10 minutes walk on treadmil. I sometimes will add in the rowing machine not today. When I workout at home I usually do a yoga or pilates workout off of netflix or zumba for the wii

    I'm not one who go to the gym, but I do try and workout 5 days a week by walking 30 minutes a day or working out to my collection of Denise Austin DVDs. Also, but not everyday I do some dancing and movement with my special needs students

    I work with my trainer Tuesdays and Thursdays. MWF I do an hour cardio (usually eliptical) with a mix of core here and there, Saturdays I do the machine circuit at the gym. Sundays are rest days, but if I have that extra energy I'll do some light cardio.

    I play Zumba on the PS3 six days a week. Usually just the 20 minute routines each day, but I'll do a 45 minute one once or twice a week. And I'll go for a 30 minute walk once or twice a week. I don't really plan which days I'll do things, I wait and see how it goes each day.

    Every day I ride my stationary bike for 30 minutes. At least 3 days a week I walk a mile or more. That is all I have time for!

    I will like to workout 5 days a week, and this post is encouraging! I have difficulty knowing what to do or how to train. I like zumba, step-aerobics, but I am a horrible runner and get bored walking, any recommendations?? I would like to lose 40 pounds :bigsmile:

    Monday: before work- lift heavy (deadlift, squat, bench, etc.); 30-45 min
    Tuesday: before work- Run .5 mi sprints with .25 mi jogs in between on treadmill, total 3 mi; 25-30 min
    Wednesday: lunchtime/afternoon- Run 5k outside; 25-30 min
    Thursday: before work- Tempo run on treadmill, 4mi; 35-40 min
    Friday: before work- lift heavy; 30 min; lunchtime- Spin class; 50 min

    My husband and I share a car; we both work on a campus 30 minutes from home. He has to be at work at 7:30, but I don't have to be at work til 9. So I stay motivated because I if I don't go with my husband, I have no ride, and I have nothing better to do from 7:30-9:00 except workout and shower! (In case you are wondering, Wednesdays I have coffee with a girlfriend before work.)

    depends on the week, currently following a 36 week ironman training plan and will be working out between 6 and 7 days a week sometimes three times a day to get everything in, combination of swim, run, bike and strength work, try to fit 2 strength sessions in a week, at its height I'll be fitting in 25 hours training a week.:-) new to multisport but loving it, marathon running did great things for my body but multisport is just having amazing results and without the muscle fatigue marathon training produced!

    Sunday--Zumba or elliptical for an hour
    Monday-Thursday-strength training (AM); water aerobics (PM)
    Friday-strength training (AM); may work out in the evening
    Saturday-water aerobics

    Right now, I do have two personal trainers. One of my trainers is part of a 12-week group exercise class. Once the 12 weeks is over, I will spend three days strength training in the mornings and two days of deep water aerobics in the morning.

    I do spinning classes four days a week and rowing classes twice a week. About to add TRX training at least two days a week, three if I can manage a 5:45 AM class (not so sure about that one...).

    My goal is to work out six days a week, too.
    I do a lot of videos, and I mix them up so I don't get bored. Right now I'm alternating between two Tae Bo DVDs: Ripped Extreme and Cardio extreme. I do those about 4-5 mornings a week. I try to run on the treadmill at the gym 2 times a week (if I know I'm going to be running, I'll either skip the morning video or do just the weights part of Ripped). I also walk, around campus and to/from home to the rail station, a few days a week. It all works together to make 5-6 days, most weeks.
    Not really a "routine" ... just doing what I can when I can!
