M,W,F,Sat. I do 2 hours cardio at the gym.
7 days a week I do half hour calisthenics at home. (200 reverse crunches, 100 leg lifts, bunch of bicep curls, tricep overheads, dips, lunges and other stuff like that)
I also walk on my two breaks at work.
Oh and I rollerblade and play basketball on the weekends.

Well, unless I have a bad day I usually do my ab crunch dvd at home, its 32 minutes. Then I do a combination of eliptical/treadmill for 30 minutes and curcuit training for 30 minutes randomly changing the focus on lower body and upper body.
My gym has a few classes I am interested in such as cardio fusion, cardio kickboxing, core training, ultimate body bar, total body conditioning, and power crunch. I'm going to try them out and see which ones I want to participate and alternate a class with the above mentioned routine I am already doing at the gym.
So I work out 1 1/2 hours per day for atleast 5 days per week.

five days a week i run, at least three miles, but i'm building towards a seven mile race in a couple of weeks, so right now i'm at about 4 - 5 miles. after i run i do about 20-30 mins. of stretching, arm, ab and leg exercises. and i try and throw in a little walk at lunch, ten mins or so, but i haven't been so successful at that yet.
I like to work in my exercise routine with my daily commute.
Run to and from work (4.5 miles each way) appox. 38 minutes
3 days a week
Bike to and from work (again 4.5 miles each way)
2 days a week
That's great that your walking, Before I started running I use to walk everywhere. Great excerise and even better for collecting your thoughts.

Mama, I walk very briskly (3.5 to 4 mph) 5 to 6 days a week between 2-1/2 to 3 miles, I've added hula hooping, and some cardio every other day. What I'm trying to do is develop a fitness program that I can "live with" for the long term and not just as an interim way to lose weight. This is what seems to be working for me. I'd like to get to a point where I can run one day - walk the next but, as yet, I'm not real comfortable with running. & nbsp;
Hi Mama, I work mostly now on toning. I do a walk every morning that is a power walk up and down a hill. I dance at night for an hour. But i do a lot more toning workouts. Every month i change my work out so i don't get bored.
well, since i'm just maintaining really, and i'm a teenager who doesnt have to worry so much, i spend 15 minutes every day walking up and down my stairs. i usually walk in health class for about 20 minutes, too. and no matter how much i exercise the rest of the day (if i go ice skating or swimming or something) i always still do my staircase thing. its just a habit.
My workout usually looks something like this:
Sunday - Cardio (45-60min) + weights (30min)
Monday - Yoga (1.25 hours)
Tuesday - Cardio (45 min) + weights (30min)
Wednesday - Cardio (45min) + weights (30min)
Thursday - Spin class (1 hour)
Friday - OFF
Saturday - Cardio (45-60min) +weights (30 min)

Well. .on weekdays when im in school, i have gym class every morning and we sprint for about 6 minutes on mondays wednsdays and fridays, and on tuesdays and thursdays we run long distance for six minutes, then we do 45 jumping jacks, 15 sit ups, and 15 push ups, then we play a sport. Then every night i do about 100-200 crunches depending on what i feel like, i do 100 leg lifts on each leg, and i do 100 jumping jacks, i do that about twice a day.
M T W TH I do 5 min warm up 30 min weight training, 30 min cardio SAT I do the same if I have time to drive the hour to the gym if not I go running for 30 to 45 minutes.
well, right now I am training for a Towerclimb in Toronto the end of the month, we go every year, its the CN Tower climb, and its like 1800 stairs. Last year I did it in 19min 53sec! I HAVE to beat that this year! Its a matter of pride! So I've been on the revolving stairmaster every other day, 30min, fatburner plus, level 10! Then its about 30min of weights, rotating muscle groups each day, arms/chest/back & legs/butt/abs. On the days I don't do the stairmaster, I run outside or on the treadmill, minimum 3miles, usually 4-5miles if I'm feelin good! I usually do this 6 days a week, unless I have something going on, then I might take two days off.
M-W-F - 30 minutes on the treadmill or elliptical plus about 30-45 minutes of weight training for the whole body including abs.
T-Th - 45 minutes on the treadmill or elliptical plus light ab work out.

I'm in maintenance mode right now so I walk for 60 minutes on the treadmill every day 4.2 to 4.5 mph 7 days a week. Sometimes with an incline sometimes not. I try to do strength training 2 nights a week before I walk for at least 25 minutes on those nights I get done walking and do 20 minutes of Pilates but not always sometimes just to tired. I also try to walk at work durring my breaks and when ever I have a chance to run errands for someone. I work on a college campus so it's nice to get outside on these pretty spring days. If not I have an atrium in the building I am in and I walk thru it for my breaks. Really trying to make moving a priority in my life.
usually use my bike to go to work (38 km / day) twice a week.
Monday, Tuesday, Thrusday, Friday at the gym for Weight lifting (70 minutes / days )
Week-ends , doing bicycle with the kids, work around the house
+ 50 push-ups, 100 sit-ups every morning.
That's about it.
Claude

Wow. This thread is really motivating! For me it breaks down like this:
Every day is 10 mins of stretching before AND after exercise. Then...
MWF: 45 mins toning arms and abs, 40 mins cardio
Tu/Th: 20 - 30 mins running/walking (2:3 ratio), abs, chest and shoulders
Sat OR Sun (depending on the weather): weekend run
Currently depending on my running to take care of my legs and butt. :)
