What's your exercise routine for the week?

I can't seem to get into a routine where I feel like I am doing everything I'd like to.

Ideally I'd like to run 2-3x a week, as well as do a cardio sculpt class, pilates class and bootcamp class but I just can't fit everything in.

what's your routine?

Oh, realistically, I can only go to the gym 3-4 x a week max and running other days is out.

Re: What's your exercise routine for the week?

I feel the same way! In a perfect world I would run 3 times a week, weight lift 3 times and do pilates 1 time.

But really I probably run 2 days, weight lift 2 day and pilates 1 day :( If I am training for a race I scale back on the other activities

Re: What's your exercise routine for the week?

My routine is:

Sunday: long run (10-13 miles)
Monday-Thursday (7-8 miles)
Friday:off
Saturday: (4-6 miles)

I know I should cross train, but running is so much easier (I don't belong to a gym and do not have a bike - I will start swimming though once school ends.). I used to lift 2x a week, but recently stopped when my gym membership expired.

Re: What's your exercise routine for the week?

lately it's been:

Monday - 1 hr step/weights interval class
Tuesday - off
Wednesday - dance class, 60 - 90 minutes
Thursday - 1 hr sports conditioning class (running drills, circuit training)
Friday - either dance or off
Saturday - dance class (well 2 really back to back) - 3 hours. First 90 minutes is all hip hop; second 90 minutes is devoted to barre work, various core work and lyrical jazz
Sunday - whatever I feel like doing - walk, jog - as long as it's not in a class, i'm good.

Re: What's your exercise routine for the week?

I try to do cardio 4-5 days a week (about 40-minute sessions)... of those at least 2-3 are running on the treadmill, the days in between I use the elliptical or bike.

I also use the weight machines every other day for both upper & lower body (I'm trying to build up some strength & tone)

I'm also really into stretching & try to stretch at least 20 mins every day... since doing this I've felt so much better & have had fewer injuries.

Re: What's your exercise routine for the week?

i don't belong to a gym...so I am usually just running

I run one long run, which depends on the next race I'm running - 6-12m

again, depending on training schedule, I'll run 3-5 days during the week ~4-5 m

Sun: 6-7 mile run - outside - about an hour
Mon: upper body (arms and back) and abs one hour

Wed: 4 mile run - on treadmill - sometimes I do intervals (about 40 minutes if I do intervals, 30 if I run straight) and stability work (20 minutes)
Thurs: legs, hips and abs
Fri: bis, tris and deltoids (30 minutes) and 3 mile run on tread (25 minutes)
Sat: rest (sometimes I ride my bike or do small things like catch with a medicine ball, etc.
