  • 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)
  • I'm training for a triathlon and my exercise increases weekly before it peaks and then tapers before the race.

    Currently -

    Mon - Swim 2500y
    Tues - Bike 30 miles
    Wed - Run 4miles
    Thurs - Bike 15 miles & Run 2
    Fri - Rest
    Sat - Run 6.2 (doing a 10k)
    Sun - Rest
  • 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.
  • Quote: Thank you so much!! I just came to see everyone else's responses and saw this!! You just made my whole night!!

    I'm chasing down 199.9 for next week, praying that it happens!!

    Awww! How sweet. You can do this!
  • 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.
  • I walk 6 times per week, 5 miles each time (30 miles)
    I take Mondays off from walking.
    I go to the gym Mon, Wed and Fri and do 45 minutes of weight training; no break between machines.
  • 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.
  • This is my current plan.

    Monday: 40 min boxing workout (jumping rope, several rounds shadow boxing, strength traning) & 36 minute yoga
    Tuesday: 40 min elliptical intervals & 36 min yoga
    Wednesday: 40 min boxing workout & 36 min yoga
    Thursday: 40 min elliptical intervals & 36 min yoga
    Friday: Rest Day
    Saturday: 40 min boxing workout & 36 min yoga
    Sunday: 40 min elliptical intervals & 36 min yoga
  • 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.)
