4 days a week I am trying to get in at least 60 min of cardio, either elliptical or treadmill. Trying to do the C25K, managed day one, today I went for day two, but got a side stitch and got dizzy about 15 min in I will try it again Friday tho.
Monday and Thursday is upper body strength training and Tuesday and Fridays are lower body. I try to get at least 20 minutes of strength training in. I am currently using the machines, still I get SOME strength, then I think I will move onto the free weights.
I enjoy the elliptical and recumbent bike the most and the rowing machine is not bad either.
Sometimes I will go in on a Saturday and do whatever tickles my fancy at the moment

For now I'm pretty cardio heavy. Each week I've been doing:
- 2 X Roller derby practices (1.5 or 2 hr; Endurance/agility/scrims)
- 2 X Ultimate Frisbee (1 hr)
- 3-4 X C25K (just finished W5D1)

Treadmill - I go a mile 6 days a week. I start off slow then every 3 minutes I jack up the speed going as fast as I can. Takes me about 20 min to do this.

I then do my weights. I do as many reps as I can working out to tone my arms and legs

I then do my exercise ball doing my set-ups.

Takes me about an hour a day. Sometimes I will do work out videos too if I am not to tired. I sometimes switch from the treadmill to the elliptical.

I take Saturday off to rest.

Every Monday I use a tape measure to see how many inches I have lost. I do not like scales.

I have 3 pound dumbells and I do 4 different toning exercises for my arms.
Also get on my treadmill everyday for 25 minutes; one day I'll walk at 2.6MPH, then the next day I'll walk slowly at 2MPH, a little more brisklly at 2.6MPH, then job every 2 minutes for 30 seconds at 3MPH.

My routine is I have no routine. I work 4, 10 hour days, and I'm not a big fan of 5am workouts.

Some nights I go to yoga class right after work.
I also run.
I joined a gym when it got too snowy out to run, and did the elliptical over the winter.
I started doing TRX with a personal trainer 2 months ago.
And I have a little collection of yoga DVDs.

My goal is to build a habit, so I aim to do something everyday. But 6 days a week is acceptable to me.

Default I tried about everything but like Jazzercise the best

I have worked out most of my life--tried running--then went to racquetball--really liked that--but the gym closed down. For the last 30 years I have been back and forth--but the one I always go back too, and which I have been successful at is Jazzercise.

I went back to Jazzercise about one year ago and have already taken off 15 pounds by working out 3 to 4 times a week. Of course, I have to watch what I eat also. Still have about 10 pounds to go before I am going to feel comfortable with my BMI. At any rate my energy has exploded to new heights--and I feel great.

I like Jazzercise because today it incorporates weights--body sculpting--stretching and moving to the tunes, plus the gals are very friendly so it gives me a little social time also. It really is a complete one hour total body workout--and it's geared for any kind of fitness profile. You can move as slow as you want or go to higher levels when you improve.

Since I stopped working out over a year ago, I am slowly easing my way back in.

Elliptical training at least 4 times a week, 30 to 60 minutes on highest setting.
30 Day Shred, 2-3 times a week (every other day.)
