Heavy gym hitters club?

Any one want to join the club, its for people that go to the gym atleast 5 times a week, we can discus routines, goals,and anything that's relevant to the topic of going to the gym as much as we do

Sounds good to me. I usually hit up the gym 4-6 days a week. I try to run intervals for 20 minutes, elliptical 30 mins to an hour, and I alternate weight training arms and legs. I also try to fit in yoga, bellydance, and kickboxing classes a few days a week.

7 days a week 80 minutes a day, not to mention the beach, football, and soccer.  I'd join.

I'm game! I go 5-6 times a week... 70% cardio 30% weights/strength training (I'm just going into week 2 of the 100 push-ups challenge). I can always use new routine ideas or exercise ideas as it's hard not to get stuck in a rut and/or bored.

I'm in! Here's my current routine (change about every 6-8 wks):

Mon: Abs & then Spin Class 60 mins

Tue: Legs (60 mins)

Wed: Chest, Tri's, & Shoulders (70 mins)

Thur: Abs & then Spin Class 60 mins

Fri: Back & Bi's (60 mins)

Sat: Run Day (at least 80 mins consistent running; usually 10 miles)

Sun: Rest/Off/Sauna Day

I'd join and as much fun as I can imagine chatting with all you guys would be, I'd honestly rather spend that time hitting the gym instead of talking about it.. ;).

Sauna Day! I never thought to use the sauna on a rest day. Thanks for the idea! This winter I'll have to try it out.

I read somewhere about heat really aiding the healing of muscles. Since I rip up my legs like 4 days a week with spin, running, and weights I need all the help I can get! lol, so on my off days I sauna, I tan, I sleep. It's basically just a re-coop day, and by monday I'm usually feeling pretty good. :)

I love the sauna! I try to put in 5 minutes after I've cooled down from my work-outs. I generally feel better afterwards and have less soreness the next day. Also, the moist air has been great for my lungs and my breathing.

i would join.

my current routine:

Mon:  step class : 60 mins or some mondays i take off

Tue: Strength endurance 60 mins + shadow boxing 45 mins + 15 mins abs

Wed; Turbo boxing - 60 mins + weight training 60 mins

Thurs: steps - 60 mins

Fri - Any cardio 30 mins + weight training 30 mins or sometimes off when i   workout on mondays.

Sat - Turbo bocing  60 mins + pilates 60 mins

Sun - steps 30 mins + weight training 45 mins.

I take a day or two off depending upon my work schedule.

Any comments are welcomed.

My routine =]

Monday- Purely Bi's and Tri's

Tuesday- Lats & Forarms

Wednesday- Shoulders & Bi'

Thursday-Chest & Tri'

Friday-Legs & Bi'

Saturday-Tri's an Upperback

Sunday-LowerBack / Tan!

 i switch it up every 3 weeks  depending on what my muscle focus is, as i can see right now im on Bi;s and Tri's

Next rotation is Lats and Shoulders is my focu

systemdrop, I'm with you on change ups. I'm on this schedule for 50 days. For this 50 day stindt I am not drinking any alcohol or smoking pot. I have a pretty regulated diet too...

Breakfast: 4 egg whites w/ 1 tsp olive oil. 1/2 cup fiber one w/ 14 cup silk unsweetened. 1st Snack: CarbRite Bar. Lunch: 3.5 oz chicken & 1/4 cup quinoa. 2nd Snack: 2-3 cups raw veggies. Post workout shake: 1scp CellMass Creatine, 1scp Elite Dymatize Protein Powder, 1scp Glyco-Maize Waxy Maze w/ 16oz water/ice. Dinner: 4 egg whites, 3.5 oz chicken/shrimp, 1 slice kraft fat-free cheese.

Still leaves me at 1100 cals for the day with all my fiber/fat/protein/carb goals met for the day so I can eat whatever I want within the 200-250 calorie range in the day. (nice in case I have to eat something my co-workers provided or in case I accidently run into a brownie/sourdough/peanut butter of some kind, lol)

In 48 days I'll need to change the routine... I think I'll swap out a spin day for a yoga or pilates day. :)

In a week, I...

-Run 9-12 miles and walk 4-6 miles

-Do 2-3 full body strength training routines with 12 lb weights (where appropriate)

I wonder if the campus gym has a sauna...

edit: it does!  several, in fact, at all of its many locations!  squee!

littlemalynda, your doing the same gym rotation as i am? or are you joining me? im confused =]..

As much as I know i should I dont count cals, i just try to watch what i eat in general
