What's your work out plan?


Quote  |  Reply
I thought maybe we could share our work outs, so then we could try each others out, or something.

Because I'm on spring break my lately routine has been.

Wake up - walk to the gym (7 mins). 10 min elliptical, 30 mins of weights which consists of Ab stuff, legs and arms. then 30 mins to an hour of elliptical. (the last 3 days its been an hour. i do elliptical because of my knees). Then 3 sets of 20 sit ups, then crunches, 3 sets of 10 bicycle sit up things, 10 push ups, 30 second plank, sometimes more, then a stretch.

Normally its After school. 10 mins warm up, 30 mins weights, 30 mins elliptical (all depending how i feel). Same ending as above.

On Mon and Wed I try to do some cardio in the am - lately its only been a short walk of the dog but I try to do at least an hour on the elliptical after work on mon and wed I do weights for at least an hour and if I didn't do my cardio in the am I'll do the bike at the comm college gym.  Tues and Thurs I'll do 30 minutes of weights and then 1 hr cardio class.  Fri Sat and Sunday I walk 4 miles- since having the dog I also take him for a walk so its about 4.5 miles.  My goal really isn't "time" so much as shooting for a 600 calorie burn a day.
i dont really know how much i burn because on the machine it will say like 700 calories in an hour and on CC it says 620 in an hour.

I also try to walk 30 mins a day since i have nothing to do all day but study for exams.
I go with how I feel. But I've laid out a plan for myself.

Monday- day off

Tuesday- Kickboxing (1 hr) & Hip-Hop Dance class (1 hr)

Wednesday- arms lifting and abs workout

Thursday- legs lifting and Pi/Yo class (1 hr)

Friday- 30 mins cardio either run or elliptical, 20 mins rower

Saturday- Spin class (1 hr), arms/abs OR day of rest

Sunday- Spin class (1 hr), arms/abs
Monday - lower body weight training in the morning, and then cardio (15-35 minutes)

Tuesday- upper body/cardio

Wed. - lower body/cardio

Thursday - upper body/cardio

Friday - lower body/cardio

Saturday - upper body

Sunday- Day off!!

To escape an eventual plateau, I'll only be doing this for another 3 weeks. More set of the same exercises, though.
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday - 1/2 - 3/4 hour of Elliptical + stairmaster, then working my arms and legs on alternating days

Tuesday and Saturday - Soccer pratice/coaching/refereeing

Thursday - Kickboxing

Sunday - Yoga (sometimes)
Oh, and I'm in Dance II at my school everyday. So I have that too.
Running (as much as I can)/walking - 45 minutes four times a week.

Something fun and social i.e. volleyball with friends 2 times a week.

Pushups, situps every day.

Would love to work in cycling once a week but still need a bike.
Monday - Sunday

Walk 30-60 minutes on the treadmill. Mix it up on different days with different programs and speeds.

Days I walk 30 I do 30-60 minutes aroebic workout/with weights.

On those days may also do 20-30 minutes crunches, leg exercises while watching American Idol.
Monday - Kickboxing (1 hr), weight lifting (1 hr - 3 sets of 12)

Tuesday - Toning Class (1hr), tues or thursday water aerobic w/friend

Wednesday - Kickboxing (1 hr), weight lifting (1 hr - 3 sets of 12)

Thurs - Toning Class (1hr), tues or thursday water aerobic w/friend

Friday - Kickboxing (1 hr), weight lifting (1 hr - 3 sets of 12)

In addition I have 2 labrador retrievers that get a minimum of 30 minutes to an hour or so a day of fast walks, running while I bike, or sled dog type rollerblading.  No excercise makes crazy hyper dogs - that's my no brainer incentive there ;-)

I alternate the type of kickboxing classes I do (different times of days = different instructors = different workout).  Helps to break up any monotony ;-)

Friday & Saturday long shifts at hospital - no work outs
monday- pilates w/ my mom (1 hr)

tuesday- soccer (1 hr & 30 mins) and dance class (1 hr)

wed- the workout i cut out from a magazine (it's currently CosmoGirl, 30 mins)

thurs- 50 jumping jacks, 50 bicycle crunches, 10 pushups and soccer (1 hr)

friday- whatever i feel like doing

saturday- magazine workout or dance DVD (both approx 30-1 hr)

sunday- day off

and depending on my mood and what i ate that day i'll go for walks/jogs. and i also have to run up and down stairs and do a lot of walking at school.
30 min bike 6 days , 4days 45 mins tread mill alternated with 2 days cardio, 20 min every night situps, jacks, and resistance band befor bed 
Wow, so nice to see people are so active :)

Mine is so simple. I am just happy if I can squeeze in a 30min-1hr exercise everyday. That usually right after I come home from work.
Either:
Home (TJ or SI6) or Gym (cardio session)

or if I feel I am up to it:
combo of TJ/SI6 plus cardio session at the gym

Weekends I do my workout in the morning, around 11-12pm right after breakfast got digested. :)
5 days a week i do:

65 minutes on elliptical level 8-11 every workout

20 minutes of weights 2 days per week

swimming 15-20 minutes 2-3 days per week

ab/obliques 5-10 minutes every workout

treadmill/stair climber 10-15 minutes 2 days a week

ready to start jogging outside when it stops snowing!!
how long do you stay at the gym for?!
1 1/2 -2 hrs
wow that's a lot EVERY day (minus the weekends).
I'm usually at the gym for about 2 hours - 3 days a week, and 1 hour -2 days a week.  The rest is all outdoors ;-) Sometimes I skip the gym and go rollerblading or hike the beach with the dogs (beats the heck out of being indoors on a beautiful day).
I work out early, before work Monday - Friday start time 5:45 - 6:00.

Monday - Run 4.0 miles on treadmill.  Full body lifting workout.  Run 3.0 miles on treadmill.

Tuesday - Run 7.0 miles on treadmill.  Run 2-3 miles cool down on treadmill.

Wedensday - Same as Monday with different lifting exercises for each major muscle group.

Thursday - Same as Tuesday.

Friday - Same as Monday and Wedensday with different lifting exercises.

Saturday - Run to work 3.1 miles each way.  If I have that weekend off I go for a long run of 10 - 13 miles.

Sunday - If I didn't take a long run on Saturday I do it on Sunday.  If I did run long on Saturday I only run about 7.0 miles outside.

If I get really tired, I will take a light day somewhere in the middle of all that every few weeks.  I hardly ever take whole days off from working out.  I try to stay physically active in the evenings by playing basketball or taking the kids to the track at the school to run or just getting outside with the kids to keep them active too.
I swim just over 1 mile 4 times per week (75% crawl and 25% breaststroke). With warm up and warm down time it takes about 45 to 50 minutes out of my morning. 
Well, I lift 3-4 days a week and do cardio every other. I do a circuit of weights that goes something like this?

-HS shoulder press (3x10 100lbs)

-rope lateral pull-downs (3x10 50lbs)

-free weight curls- (3x10 bar+20)

    -?batter?s swing? x20 @ 40lbs

    -?chopping wood? x20 @ 40lbs

Always stretch pre and post workout.

On cardio days, I generally run. I do about 20-30 minutes sprinting at or above 7.6 on the treadmill. It ends up around 2-3 miles. I do some light weights as I feel the need to, just to warm up.

Yeah, I am a psycho gym rat.

Featured question:

Is jump roping as good an exercise as running?

In terms of calorie burning, moderate jumping is about equal to running a 10-minute mile, although calorie burning is always a function of time... Read more
