    Default What's your workout like?

    I'm just curious as to what everyone does for their workouts. Do you workout at home? A gym? Do you take lots of classes?

    I didn't see a "general" workout thread and I'm always interested to see what others are doing.

    I run on the treadmill (occasionally outside) three times a week for anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. I'm in a 10k training group, and we do a group run outside on Saturday mornings; this week's run is 6 miles. Once a week I take a yogalates class. Twice a week I do weight training for about 1/2 hour using a combination of machines and free weights--I should do more of this, but it's just sooo boring.
    ETA: yogalates class is one hour long.
    Oh, and on days when I don't run, I walk for at least an hour.

    My workout (at gym)

    Tuesdays, Saturdays, Sundays - cardio, usually elliptical (hills with reverse mode every 5 minutes for 2 minutes, at least 45 minutes long and then stretching, abs or if there is enough time, strength training

    Thursdays - spin class, 45 minutes

    For my regular non class workouts, I try to do at least one day of strength training but I am trying to move it up to 2-3x a week so that would be everyday but during spin class. Once in a while I'll mix it up and jump on the treadmill for a jog but for the most part I use the elliptical.

    i generally exercise 3-5 days per week. I workout at home on my tread climber for 40 mins. I try to get in strength training about 2-3 days a week with our weight machine. I want to start incorporating yoga several times a week too. I got a dvd for that.

    before i had the money to buy weight equipment. i would put on fun music and dance around my living room for about 45 mins. man, i was in great shape when i did that. plus, i was more motivated to work out bc it was fun. now, that my dh insisted on getting that expensive gym equipment i feel obligated to use it to get my money's worth.

    during the warmer months, i usually go for about a half an hour jog a couple times a week. i love jogging outside on a nice day. can't bring myself to do it in the winter.

    3 x per week - gym: usually 20-30 mins on the elliptical, 10 mins of weights, 10 mins of abs/stretching (my gym workouts are unfortunately really time constrained, but I figure it's better than nothing).

    3 x per week - run: between 5 and 7 miles, try to do a longer run on the weekend.

    We have a gym at our apt complex. I go 4-5 days per week before work, and I do 30 minutes of varying workouts on the elliptical machine. I will add some free weights 2-3 days per week once I get less busy at work and I can take a little more time at the gym.

    Good thread...

    I try to make it to the gym at least 3x per week (due to my work/school schedule this semester). I prefer the aerobics class because it pushes me to work out more rather than working out on my own.
    Mondays - 45min spin class & 60min weight training class
    Thursdays - 60min aerobics & 30min treadmill or elliptical
    Saturdays - 60min aerobics & 60min weight training class

    I post mine in my LJ (public) - usually about 5 days cardio; 3 days weights (okay, I seem to only have time for two ) and a ballet or yoga workout. I try to do varied cardio at varied intensities - aerobics, elliptical, walking. I switch up my lifting every 6 weeks.

    Right now, I'm doing Slim in 6, supplementing it with a bit of extra cardio & a weight routine. The weight routine is 1 set of 100 reps - full body lifting. Both are something I've never done, so it's definitely been keeping my interest.

    Mon: Circuit training (chest, shoulders, triceps, quads, abs)
    Tues: Circuit training (back, glutes, hamstrings, biceps, abs)
    Wed: Rest
    Thurs: same as Monday
    Fri: same as Tuesday
    Sat: 1 hour high intensity cardio
    Sun: Rest

    On my circuits, I keep my target heart rate at 80 - 85%, so I burn as many calories as I would doing just cardio.
