I was curious as to what other people's workout routines were?

I'm starting my second week of Insanity tonight. But since it's so challenging for me I feel like I don't get the full workout it's meant to give you because I pause it like a hundred thousand times and I have to modify some of the moves. I still sweat like crazy, and get a sore butt and thighs and arms and stuff, I guess I just feel kind of... held back? I'm not sure what how to describe it. I feel like if it was easier, I could get a much better workout from it. But no worries, I'm going to stick with it. Because I may not be able to keep up now, but I'm confident that I will at some point and I am very determined to finish it! ( <-- I love this carrot guy, btw! He's totally motivational to me. lol)

ANYWAY. Sorry, I tend to ramble. I am wanting to feel more... accomplished? Like I want to finish a workout and be like "WOO! That was awesome!". And I was wondering what your workout routine was? weights? running? DVD's? This afternoon I started the Brazil Butt Lift work outs because Lord knows my hind end needs some lifting and shaping. Haha! Also because I loathe my thunder thighs. But my whole point was wondering what other people are doing for workouts. I plan to try and keep up with the Brazil Butt Lift as well as Insanity AND throw in a C25K workout so that I can get back into running. So hopefully that helps me feel more like I am getting a great workout. Thanks in advance!

DVDs. I used to use a treadmill but it bit the dust. Workout DVDs probably give a more variety of cardio anyway.

[krampus]

Weights, running, Pilates mat classes, random cardio machines at the gym sometimes. Hiking when it's nice outside!

Hang in there iJustWant2Run. I love the carrot guy too. LOL

My exercise routine is all over the place, but it has been effective. I guess it keeps my body guessing?

I usually start off doing some Pilates (Blogilates) for 10 - 15 mins. Then I pop in a 2 - 5 mile Walk Away The Pounds dvd.

Or I would do Pilates for 10 - 15 mins and do to bodyweight exercises for a half hour.

Occasionally I will use a 1 mile WATP pounds dvd a couple of hours after dinner.

I also take a strength-training class 2x per week.

When it's nice out I like doing powerwalking/jogging intervals too.

I want to do a whole bunch of things now that my body will cooperate but I'm so afraid to hurt myself!

Right now, I do 45-60 mins. a day but I find myself craving more exercise, which is so weird for me! Maybe it's the nice weather, maybe it's my body enjoying the benefits.

Depending on the day/weather/schedule, I do any combo of the following:

-Walk on my treadmill
-Walk outside
-Do Leslie Sansone Walk Away The Pounds (15, 30 or 45 min. walk)
-Started C25K and am currently on week 3 (doing this M/W/F)
-Ride my bike outside
-Ride my stationary bike

I was going to throw 30 Day Shred into the mix but I don't want to be so sore that I can't do my regular exercise.

I can't believe how far my body has come in 8 months. Nothing short of a miracle!!

Right now I'm doing 30 Day Shred on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and running on Wednesday and Saturdays. Running is by far my favorite form of exercise.

[kayin]

Every 2-3 days I do a long walk 5hrs or hike 3hrs.
On the in-between days I walk about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
I do pilates and dumbell weights on about 2 of my easier days per week.

Same here depending on my mood, weather, and schedule. These are some of my workout routines, but I make sure that I'm able to do one of the 5 every other day even if only an hour or two that's already great for me.

- running most of the time
- swimming sometimes
- some weights most of the time too
- treadmill if I can't run outside
- yoga if I'm physically too tired

I go to curves 3 x a week
and i jog 3 miles a day on my treadmill

[Pink Hurricane]

Workout DVDS, free weights for strength, and running are all some of my favorites. I have a couple of kickboxing dvds since I had to sell my boxing bag and stuff since it wouldn't fit in our house, but those are my main go-tos. My husband and I are starting Insanity next week, which I cannot wait for. I know it is going to be super hard but I am so ready to kick my butt some more!

I go back and forth with my routine. I'm in school so I try to get to the gym as much as possible, even if it's for 45 minutes. Sometimes I either have to sacrifice homework to stay at the gym or sacrifice working out to go do homework. I cannot wait until it's nicer out and I'm not in school anymore so I can work out outside and do some of the routines I've found on bodyrock.tv and Pinterest that I can't do in my house.

Anyways. I try hard to do weight training everyday - but sometimes that doesn't happen. You know, leg day, chest day, arm day, etc. So yesterday my routine looked like this.

30 minutes on treadmill - walking at 3 mph - incline of 5%, going down every 5 minutes until I was done

20 minutes on stair stepper

Leg day - so numerous weight training excercises focusing on my legs.

This was a rushed day because I didn't get out of school until 815, and my gym closes at 10. So, usually my routines are more in depth and I try to do more.
