Exercise Routine

I would just like to know other's weekly workout plan.. I want to switch things up. I was going to the gym 6 days a week, then had a lot of family issues going on, and now need to get back on track!!!

I do MWF at the gym on their equipment.  I then do TRS at home.  I had my exersize physiologist give me exercises that I could do at home for the days I don't go to the gym, and for the future, in case I can't make the gym.

thats good! i have an appt in the beginning of next month to get ideas on exercises at home! THANKS!!!

I walk on the treadmill everyday on my lunch break at work for 30 minutes. Not just a leisurely walk, I crank the incline up and walk as fast as my chubby little legs can carry my chubby little body :)  Then Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday I also hit the gym to do some weights for about 45minutes and bike 20 minutes.  I take Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays off of the gym, but sometimes I do something else like a bike ride or  an exercise DVD or Kinect game with the kiddos.

I walk 3 mi. every single day (no days off, ever) in my moderately hilly neighborhood.  I try to get to the gym for strength training on the resistance machines 2 or 3 times a week as well.  I currently do my 3 miles in 62/64 minutes, down from 75 minutes a couple of months ago.  Seems to be working for this 65 year old, I'm down 100 lbs. + (only weigh myself once per week, so I don't know what I weigh until Wednesday) and I'm feeling great.  For me, consistency is the trick - do it every single day.  Tired?  Tough,  I do it anyway.  Hurt?  I take a pill or two.  Worth it? To me, the proof is in the poundage.

In a typical week I will

Attend 1 x Pilates Reformer Class and then do 2 sessions at home on my reformer.
Attend 2 x Body Combat classes
Run 5k-8k - 2-3 x per week either on the treadmill or outside
Do 2 x gym sessions with weights - approx 30 mins each time

Apart from the formal exercise I always take the stairs when I can (have just started walking up the 30 flights of stairs to my appt on the way back from the gym), walk the mall before I do my grocery shopping and try to get in 10,000 steps per day.

I have a BodyBugg which tracks my cals burned etc and helps to keep me on track.

I also put all of my exercise in my diary and view it as being as important as a business meeting.  Only reasons to not go are illness and/or injury - I never jump out of bed thinking "yahoo I've got Body Combat" - but once I've got my gym kit on and attended class I always feel great.

I also set myself targets - I ran my first 10k in Jan, my first 1/2 marathon in Feb and am now working towards improving my times on both distances.

Good Luck with getting back to an exercise plan.

Lots of people work out more often than me, but before surgery - for a couple of years - I walked 3 miles 3-4 times/week and it did me absolutely no good. Sooooo I now go to boot camp 1 hr, 3 times per week. It is a heavy-duty cardio, weight, calisthenic workout every time, with virtually no stopping for the entire hour. This is what is moving me from "fat" to "fit". I can now run some (could not even run 1 lap before - even after all that walking), do pushups, and all kinds of other exercises. Hope this helps - it's what works for me. Remember - everyone is different. You have to do what works for YOU.
