    I am lucky enough to work from my home office so I usually eat lunch around 11 then work out instead of a lunch break. I am on week 2 of Insanity so I do the 40 min video then get on elliptical for 10 mins or more, it depends on which workout is that day so I aim for 400 calories burned on HRM.

    I do 30 day shred everyday, followed by Shimmey (belly dancing), walk around the block or down to the store which takes 15-30 minutes, then also do some random training at home like crunches, pushups, and stuff like that.

    I am doing the 9-week program with EA Active 2 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, & Fridays. On my "off" days I like to play Dance Central on Kinect and/or Wii Fit Plus for 30-60 minutes. I used to do about 60 minutes of various Wii Fit Plus games about three times a week but started to get bored.

    Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I spend about a half an hour using hand weights, and half an hour of belly dance practice.
    Tuesdays I have an hour long belly dance class (usually only about 45-50 minutes of actual dance).
    Sunday and Thursday, minimum of a half hour long dance practice.
    Lately I've been practicing on Saturdays too, but that's my official rest day, when I want/need one.

    It's actually what I would consider a pretty lax workout, compared to most of the people on this site, but so far, it's working, and I step it up when I can. With limited time in the evenings, I try to shoot for shorter workouts every day/most days. And I push those practices as hard as I can, usually.

    I walk 6kms most days, with some bursts of jogging in that.
    2-3 times a week I do the 100 Challenge:
    • 100 jumping jacks
    • 90 crunches
    • 80 squats
    • 70 leg lifts
    • 60 jumping jacks
    • 50 crunches
    • 40 squats
    • 30 leg lifts
    • 20 jumping jacks
    • 10 supermans
    [/quote

    You do all of those things in one workout?

    I ask because right now I am just doing Just Dance 3 for an hour & am looking for something to add to that.

    I jog 30mins a day for warm up and then I use the Nike Training Camp app for my workout which typically runs for 30-45mins depending on my free time. That's 5-6 days a week.

    I've been sick for a couple weeks and not doing my usual schedule, which is:

    *training for a half marathon so I'm running 3-4 days a week. (2 speedwork days, 1 fun run/walk with running group, 1 long slow distance run)
    *strength training at gym 1-2 days per week (on 2 of my running days)
    *1 bootcamp class per week (bodyweight resistance exercises)
    *yoga once or twice a week--need to do this more often to work on flexibility

    hoping to get back into my routine this week...I've been hibernating and I feel yucky. :frown:

    My workouts are Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I spend between 1 and 2.5 hours in the gym.

    5 min warm up
    1. Squats - 4 warm up sets and 3 working sets
    2. Bench press or barbell overhead press ( they alternate)
    3. Weighted: Pull up, chin up or deadlift ( they rotate in that order, from one workout to the next)
    4. Random
    5. Random
    6. Random
    Cardio- 15 to 30 minutes sometimes a long run 8 to 10 miles on Saturday.

    Randoms usually support the groups worked in 1,2 and 3. Usually are pendlay rows, dips, good mornings, stiff leg deadlift, dumbbell work, leg press, cable flys or something along those lines. I find the 3 exercises in ss are not enough.

    Monday, Thursdays: Legs, Biceps, Back. Run intervals for anywhere from 10-20 minutes (usually on the lower end, or not at all, as my legs are blasted from the squats/bb lunges/leg presses). These are by far my favorite days :D

    Tuesdays, Fridays: Chest, Triceps, Abs. Run intervals 10-30 minutes.

    Wednesdays: about half the time or depending on how heavy I life M&T these are long/endurance cardio days. Or they are my days off.

    Saturdays: Outdoor cardio most of the time. LIve in Colorado so skiing, hiking, biking, etc...

    Sundays are days off. I spend this day shopping and preparing for food for the week.


    *Adding that each day I am at the gym I focus a lot on stretching before and after lifting. Also, we have a pullup/chinup bar in our basement so me and the husband play a fun game that every time we enter the room we do two pull-ups. Want a drink, go to the bathroom, get something...? That's two FULL pullups! I love having it, certainly has helped me gain reps with both pullups and chinups.

    I walk 3 miles 4 to 5 days a week outside hilly terrain. If lousy weather that day I use the treadmill or elliptical for 30 min level/incline 6 or 7. Weight circut training 1x week 60 min. I also do dressage (horse back riding) for 40 min to an hour once a week. I did martial arts (kenpo) for 6 years 2 to 3 times a week for an hour. I am thinking about picking up a traditional boxing class somewhere again soon 2 times a week- I've been looking at places. I miss that type of training a lot!

    I feel lame compared to the rest of you but here it goes:
    Everyday my dog and I walk for at least 30 minutes, and then I go another 15-30
    3-4 times per week I do Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred
    And that is it for now. I am not fit yet so I can't do too much but I am working on doing more

    don't feel lame. you're up and moving! Riding the couch is lame. :)
