    Depends , I get bored easily so I don't have a set schedule. I walk with my friend and our dogs for 90 to 120 minutes briskly a few times a week, other days I run 5 k, some days kettlebells, some days yoga, some days P90x , and maybe a few days of bodyrock.tv in there. Like I said I get bored, which is exactly why I've never been able to stick with programs by JM or P90x the whole way through.

    Thursday: rest day
    Friday: AM hour of weights and half hour of biking
    Saturday: C25k run + an extra bit so it's at least 3 miles of running
    Sunday: 1/2 mile swim and at least an hour of biking

    butttt I'm in training for a triathlon right now, so it might change up a bit when that's done :)

    If you have On Demand...they have TONS of awesome work outs for free! ranging from all different time lengths, types, and skill level.
    When I was doing the On Demand work outs I loved the one called.....Cardio Blast...I think that's what it was.

    I'm currently doing P90X and about to start Insanity when I finish p90x in about a week and a half!!

    The rules of my plan:

    1. Record everything! I use my iPhone's notes section to record every workout to ensure that I am always adding weight or reps to ensure that I am always progressing.

    2. Weight training: I alternate high reps/ moderate resistance workouts with lower reps/ heavy resistance workouts. I tend to do 2-4 exercises for 6 sets each (3 warm-up sets and 3 working sets). I always am sure to include a compound exercise such as (Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press, or Press) in each workout and round the rest off with isolation work.

    3. Cardio: Depending on how I feel I almost always include high intensity cardio such as jumping rope, plyo jumps, or battling ropes for 10-15 minutes. Then I almost always (70% of the time) finish with 20-35 minutes of moderate cardio on an elliptical, summit trainer, rowing machine, or stepper (I hate running on a treadmill).

    That always does it for me in a realistic amount of time and I never, ever get board.

    i set myself up with a modest goal of exercising 3-4 times a week so as to stay motivated and not get frustrated if i can't find the time.

    currently i'm enoying jillian michael's no more trouble zones and shed & shred, so i do either one twice a week. i do a 30-40 min tabata round (mix of cardio and strength training) once a week, and try to get a nice long run in on the weekends.

    loving all of these other dvd recommendations!

    Current regimen: run 3 mornings a week, bike three mornings a week, and spend 6-8 hours a day, 5 days a week, doing farm work (e.g., building fences, clearing fence lines, building a goat shelter, gardening, etc.). I'm in maintenance mode, and my routine is working out very well for me. So far this summer, I haven't had to worry about what I eat. The scale is being very cooperative.

    Insanity all the way!!!! I've done four rounds and now I'm just sticking with the month 2 dvds in no particular order. I used to hate it but I've grown to love it:-)

    Zumba for cardio (plus it's fun!)

    Rowing for toning (but it's good cardio too)

    Lots and lots of walking!

    I used to run but I need music to run and the cords swishing back and forth against my body from my headphones drove me nuts so I kept making excuses not to go running, plus the armband that held my iPhone kept slipping off . Once I find a better set-up, maybe I'll try running again.

    Am looking into tennis lessons now too but haven't started it yet...we'll see how it goes!
