What's your workout?

[Sue]

Post up your workout routine.

I'm just doing some cardio to burn some fat. I use an elliptical machine and do 2 miles on high resistance, or 30 minutes (also on high resistance), whichever comes first.

Not sure if this is what you call em, but I do reverse situps too. Instead of my upper body sitting up, I keep my legs straight and lift those up at the same time. I can really feel it in my abs. I do 3 sets of 20 with those.

I actually quit my gym membership a few months ago in an attempt to save money. We barely ever went and decided that it was just a waste of money. Of course, right after doing that, I make the decision to work out and lose weight. Murphy's law rules again!

So, with that in mind, I now walk a lot. I both live and work in a hilly area, so wherever I decide to go, I'll be doing some uphill and downhill walking, which feels like a much better workout than any cardio machine at the gym. I used to do the eloptical machines, but actual walking seems to get the job done as well, if not better. I also bought a 100lb set of weights to use as a dumbell workout. I sometimes take weights along on my walks. Also will do some arm/upper body workouts with the dumbells at home.

I try to ride my bike to work, but have been slacking, because my girlfriend has not been around to block me from hitting snooze constantly each morning.

I generally spend 35 mins on ellyptical or 50 minutes on bike, or 20 mins on treadmill (I like to change it up each day). I then do ab exercises, leg lifts, crunches. Then each day I switch between also doing back, or working on arms, or chest and shoulders. If I still have time or energy I spend 10 minutes on the stairmaster to finish up.

If you really wanna burn fat, lift weights. More muscle means more fat burning 24/7.

On all lifting days - enough weight for complete failure at 4-6 reps. around 8 sets per muscle group.

Day one - Chest - run 30 mins (hiit)
Day two - Legs
Day three - run 30 mins (HIIT)
Day four - Shoulders
Day five - back - run 30 mins (HIIT)
Day six - arms (tri/bicep)
Day seven - nothing

This is my current split, i don't do legs specifically because i don't have a squat rack, but i get on my bike for my cardio, so they do get used.

Monday - Shoulders + Abs
Tues - Cardio
Wed - Arms + Abs
Thurs - Cardio
Friday - Back and Chest + Abs
Sat - Cardio
Sun - Eating

I used to be a triathlete, so I am used to working out hard and often. These days I'm just into surviving from one day to the next. Injuries prevent me from ever running again.

Mine's erratic: 55 pushups in the morning, 50-100 at night. 100 crunches every night.

Beyond that, I try & run & bike at least four times a week, either a 5 or 9 mile bike with a break in the middle to run 3/4 of a mile around an island with lots of hills & valleys.

On good weeks, I also hit the speed bag for 20 minutes a few times a week. It's the ideal stress reliever after a bad day. Punch the shit out of it & it keeps bouncing back.

[Phant84]

mine is pretty much the same every day, except sunday, which i take off.

45 min elliptical machine
4 sets of 15 crunches with 15lbs added
4 sets of 15 chest press @ 110lbs
4 sets of 15 rowing machine @ 110lbs
4 sets of 15 squats @ 325 lbs
4 sets of 15 calf extension @ 150lbs
4 sets of 15 bicep curls @ 60lbs

and i think thats it

I go hiking every other day. Place right near my house like 8 mins away. I either do the whole mountain @ 1 and a half hour hike (with little to no stops) or half of it at 45 mins. Ive normally been doing the shorter, but recently mixed in the longer. I estimate I'll be doing the longer everytime within a month or so. The problem is I live in AZ so when I go hiking in the summer Im lucky to get 90 degree temp and with the full route I have to leave earlier which means even hotter to start out (I time it in the evenings so that the sun is going down right as I finish, as im not a morning person.)

Normally I don't like lifting weights so I just throw those in when I can so that I don't hate it, and usually mix in using my punching bag.

As you can see I'm not much of a planner, takes all the fun out of it.

In an ideal world, without work stresses and travelling and other time-intensive activities, I'd be able to have a set workout schedule for the week. Right now i'm just trying to burn some fat and build some muscle. So when I do make it to the gym I try and do 30 mins cardio (elliptical trainer) and then hit the weights - either chest, back and abs or shoulders, arms and abs.

I have just started a new approach to excerise- the "try not to hate it" approach. I hate running and am not very good at it, so I don't. Instead, I go for walks or bike rides or rollerblade. When I walk, I usually walk two to three miles- uphill, downhill, and no hill. When I bike, I can bike five to ten miles in a night. That number will probably go up when the heat goes down and when I find a good place to bike to- this town is kinda small. When I am rollerblading, I am lucky if I can get mile- it is much harder than walking or biking. I am working on it, though.

Also, I like to do the core secrets videos on days when I don't get outside. There isn't too much weight training in my routine, but as I get more into excerise I may have to buy some weights. I am looking into getting the Carmen Electra lap dance and striptease aerobic videos, too.

[SiN]

I don't have a gym membership ($ and there's no good ones around here anyways) so I use the outside as my gym

mon-friday: 3km jog/run on my lunchbreak
every day: 25km bike ride (mon-fri just after getting home from work, sat-sun, whenever it works in the day's schedule).
