What is your training routine?

[Robinwomb]

I dislike the word "training". I just call it exercise as I am not an athlete or training for anything other than staying in shape for general health and to keep dancing which I love to do. It's something I have done naturally for years.

currently:
Monday: cardio 40 minutes (either cycle to work/home five-six miles, or elliptical or row machine at fitness center); light stretching and ab work for about fifteen twenty minutes; 2 fifteen minute walks on breaks at work

Tuesday: strength workout (weights, pulleys, calisthenics etc) 45 minutes; cycle to work or stationary bike at home half hour; 2 fifteen minute walks at work on breaks. Was doing a 1.5 hour intermediate ballet class at School of Minnesota ballet in evenings but have backed off with it lately due to injuries

Wednesday: dance improvisation on my own at the gym in a large open studio (preceded by light warmup and stretches) for just over an hour; 2 fifteen minute walks on breaks at work

Thursday: strength workout (weights, pulleys, calisthenics etc) 45 minutes; cycle to work or stationary bike at home half hour; 2 fifteen minute walks at work on breaks; 1.5 hour ballet class evening at School of Minnesota Ballet

Friday is rest day with the exception of 2 fifteen minute walks at work on breaks; and maybe an evening walk if weather is nice

Saturday: get outside day with husband. Might be as simple as a short hike, a more intense hike, geocaching, or snowshoeing in winter, or mountain biking off the beaten path, or canoeing with our canoe, maybe some yard work and gardening

Sunday: 45 minutes strength workout at home (weights, pulleys, calisthenics etc). longer session of dance improvisation on my own at fitness center (large open studio) for about an hour and 45 minutes, including ab work and warm-up first. I may walk later at home with our dog, and of course I do a lot of house work and projects at home.

Going to the gym is not an option for me, so I turned the office in my home into a gym room where I can workout without having to leave the house. I love doing video workout programs and I recently started using Openfit's Rough Around the Edges program, which is a program designed by professional stunt women to help you tone your body, core, and increase flexibility and balance: https://www.openfit.com/p/rough-around-the-edges

Rough Around the Edges lasts 30-45 minutes per workout, which is super easy for me to roll out of bed in the morning and do. The workouts are based around martial arts like karate and kickboxing, but also incorporate HIIT and cardio to get a good all-around exercise. No equipment other than a TV is needed, and anyone with any skill level can participate. Openfit is offering a 30-day free trial which you can use to try the program out without making an investment: https://www.openfit.com/

I got lazy with cardio so I started MMA a year ago, additional to lifting

Mo + Wed = 2 hours MMA training incl. sparring
Tuesday or Thursday= lifting weights upper body
Fridays or Sat or Sun = lifting weights lower body and a triceps/biceps.

[DinsdalePirahna]

rowing or cycling (the real thing when weather cooperates, in the gym when it is crappy)

Monday / Friday: long steady state, 1.5 hour at 50% - 75% power
Tuesday / Thursday: Intervals 2-3 minutes full power, 1 minute recovery x 20
Wednesday: Race pace 2000m x 2, or 1000m x4, 5 minute rest. Technique work at no pressure for 30 minutes.

Gets the job done

I lift weights since last year using Mike Mentzer's HIT method (medium to heavy weight for high reps [as many as 20 per set] using full range of motion to total failure, 2 sets per exercise, and only do each excercise once per week/6 day recovery time per muscle group) and still seeing results a year later.

Monday=Squats and Deadlifts
Tuesday=Barbell bicep curl and barbell bent over rows
Wednesday=Bench press and military press
Thursday=Cardio
Friday=Cardio
Saturday=Cardio
Sunday=Recovery Day

And my cardio is 52 mins of intervals with a 5 min cooldown afterwards, pushing myself slightly more each session (more running less walking), burn about 600 calories a full session

day 1 - chest and shoulders
day 2 - legs
day 3 - back
