What is your workout schedule?

[keahgirl8]

I know everyone is different, so I'm not asking for suggestions, really. I am just trying to figure out a schedule for myself, so I thought it would be interesting to see what other people do! Right now, I am doing the Gazelle for 40 minutes each morning. There are so many other things I want to try, plus I want to start walking. So, I am trying to figure out how to mix it up. Do you work out more than once a da, or do you just vary what you do each day? Thank you for reading my ramblings!

I started with Taekwondo 2 - 3 nights a week a bit less than two years ago.

The TKD has grown and I've added running this year, so my week now looks like

Monday: TKD (1 hour class)
Tuesday: Running (45 minutes - 1 hour)
Wednesday: TKD (45 minute class)
Thursday: Running (45 minutes - 1 hour)
Friday: TKD Class (45 minutes)
Saturday: TKD Class (45 minutes) + Running (1 hour or more - I'm build up my long runs)
Sunday: Rest

If you had told me two years ago that I would do that consistently I would have laughed in your face at the thought... but that's where I am now.

I tweak things a lot, but here is my plan for the next couple of weeks:

M-piyo, walk on treadmill or elliptical for ~20 min
T-run 4 miles
W-repeat Monday
R-run 4 miles; walk 1 mile at work with walking group
F-strength class
S-yoga
S-long run

Rinse and repeat. Yoga is really helping with all the back/itbs/foot problems I have been having.

Hmm, what's Gazelle?! Never heard of it!

Here's my schedule (M-Th are before work):

Monday - strength training
Tuesday - running
Wednesday - strength training
Thursday - running
Friday - running
Saturday - REST
Sunday - running

I'd like to add in a yoga class or two but I've been too lazy so far.

Here is a picture of the Gazelle: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Gazelle-Edge-Trainer/1597237. I really like it, but the workout is not always as intense as I'd like.

Since I am out of race-training mode, I have been doing a four-week workout I found in a magazine. It says it's what Lady Gaga does

I do that in the evenings, and usually an hour of yoga in the mornings. I have been a little lazy the past week and have been skipping my yoga.

My schedule:

Monday: Core, Run (60-90 minutes) medium intensity
Tuesday: Core, Weights, Biking (60 minutes) or Cardio (30-45 minutes)
Wednesday: Core, Running (30-45 minutes) high intensity, Biking (30 mins)
Thursday: Rest day
Friday: Core, Weights, Running (45-60 minutes) medium intensity
Saturday: Core, Weights, Biking (60 minutes)
Sunday: Core, Running (45-60 minutes) medium intensity

I have a trainer and he has me doing core almost every day, and weights 3 times a week (upper body). I run 4x per week, and bike 3 times a week. I always run on the same days (if i can at all help it) but I do mix up the other stuff a bit.

Last summer I sat on the couch and was almost 40# heavier. Much happier now, and miss the exercise when I don't do it. It took a long time to feel good with exercise everyday as the norm.

For a few years, my schedule has been something like this:
M: run 2-4 miles (usually before I go to work)
T: arms and core work,plus take a walk or do a short cardio workout on the elliptical or bike (late afternoon or early evening)
W: run 4-5 miles (morning or late afternoon)
Th: run 3-4 miles plus arms and core work (morning or late afternoon)
Fri: rest/not run - sometimes I do something mentioned above
Sat: 7 am long run with friends 6-20 miles; I only do 15+ miles if I'm training for a marathon
Sun: like Fri - I usually don't run but try do do some other activity

Today I did 25 minutes on the Gazelle and then a 25 minute Pilates video. I think I am going to start walking after I get home from work. The Pilates video came with resistance bands. Has anyone tried this?

Mine is usually like this:

• Monday: Morning - 30 Day Shred Evening - 6 Week 6 Pack
• Tuesday: Morning - 30 Day Shred Evening - C25K and Yoga Meltdown
• Wednesday: Morning - 30 Day Shred Evening (night before weigh-in) Banish Fat Boost Metabolism
• Thursday: Morning - 30 Day Shred Evening - C25K and Yoga Meltdown
• Friday: Morning - 30 Day Shred Evening - 6 Week 6 Pack (sometimes - I usually take Friday evenings off.)
• Saturday: Extreme Shed and Shred and outdoor stuff
• Sunday: No structured exercise but I spend the day at the farm doing barn stuff then have my riding lesson.

The following week I'll trade out Yoga Meltdown and 6 Week 6 Pack for two more DVDs. The only one I consistently do is 30 Day Shred. When I finish that I'm going to replace it with Ripped in 30. Then it will be time to go into training mode for the Baltimore Half Marathon so it will be a lot more running so I'll probably do less DVDs.
