What's your exercise routine like?

[Jonniboy]

How much exercise do you do weekly and for how long?

Re: What's your exercise routine like?

I usually get to the gym 4 or 5 times a week. My "routine" consists of

10 mins on bike
10 mins on cross trainer
10 mins on the stepper
30 mins on the walk/treadmil
10 mins of weights
15 mins running

It works for me, i guess there is no set routine you should be doing...i'm really getting into running so i think i'm going to up the running a little bit more I love it when i meet my own personal goals, an extra 5 mins on the treadmil or doing more reps with weights its great fun

I try to do half an hour everyday and recently I've started taking 1 and 1/2 hour hikes with my dh.

Re: What's your exercise routine like?

I do weights 2-3 times a week, and cardio 6 days a week (every day except Saturday). The cardio is either (a) 45 minutes on the Cybex elliptical; (b) 30 minutes of Stairmaster (fitness routine) or (30) 30 minutes of HIIT on the Stairmaster. I mostly do (c) as I find it gives me the best workout in the shortest amount of time.

I workout at home (various DVDs) step aerobics, 30 day shred, tae bo, pilates, stability ball, weights, yoga...

I try for 5 days a week - usually I do six.

Re: What's your exercise routine like?

I just started exercising at home...too embarrassed to go to the gym...and am taking advantage of the Wii Fit as well as some free weights. I try to get in at least 4 days a week, but life has a tendency to get in the way. On those occasions, I try to fit in some bag work where my daughter works.

Re: What's your exercise routine like?

I run probably three mornings a week. I do a lot of yoga. I love the classes. I do some strength training (lifting, abs, pus-ups, squats). I would say probably around an hour a day. But at least one free day a week - maybe two.

Re: What's your exercise routine like?

I walk, do The Firm, and use my elliptical.

I walk 30-40 minutes twice per day.
Firm Cardio 1-2 times a week (45 minutes each)
Firm Cardio/Sculpt 2 times a week (60 minutes each)
Firm Sculpt 1 time per week (35-40 minutes each)
Elliptical is random...whenever I feel like it.

Re: What's your exercise routine like?

I cycle 17 miles/hour for 20 minutes 5 or 6 days per week. I walk with a friend at lunch most weekdays. Recently I've been trading walking 3miles for the cycling 2 days/week. This summer I'm going to add swimming/kayaking and hope to add in more walking (I'm planning to get a puppy next month )

Re: What's your exercise routine like?

Right now I'm doing 45 minutes on arms/back/abs mon, wed and fri.
30 minutes legs/butt tues, thurs, sat.
Sun is my rest day, and I try to walk at least 3 miles mon-sat.

Re: What's your exercise routine like?

I walk 4-6 miles about 4 times a week.
lift weights for 45 mins 2-3 times a week
pilates twice a week.

Then I sometimes also do swimming water aerobics or something else on top of these basics.

Re: What's your exercise routine like?

I run 4 days a week, usually 33-35 miles total. On my non-running days, I lift weights for the upper body and do core strengthening (runners MUST have a strong core!)

Re: What's your exercise routine like?

Here's my routine -

Monday - 1 hour body pump, 1 hour walk with the dog
Tuesday - 1 hour spinning class, 1 hour walk with the dog
Wednesday - 1 hour body pump class, 1 hour walk with the dog
Thursday - 1 hour walk with the dog, 15 minutes abs class, 45 minutes Zumba
Friday - 1 hour body pump, 1 hour walk with dog
Saturday - 1 hour walk with dog
Sunday - 1 hour body combat class (if I wake up in time!) and 1 hour walk with dog

Now that is nice out I can add cycling, and during the summer I go to the gym less but spend more time being active with my kids.

I was doing yoga almost every day as well but I broke my toe and can't put any pressure on it yet, and I found I needed my toe for at least half the postures I do.

I'm one of those people that love to exercise
