Hi everyone:

Just wondering how long are you at the gym, how many days a week and what does your workout consist of?

I workout Mon-Fri, weight training 4 days and aerobics (elliptical, treadmill etc.)3 days a week and abs everyday. I'm in the gym for a minimum of 2 1/2 hours a day.

What about you?

If you enjoy spending that much time at the gym and aren't overtraining, it's fine but if you're looking to be more efficient, you can definitely cut the time you spend.

ok, i figured out a plan for now-


Monday: lift weights @ lunch, teach kickboxing @ nite


Tuesday: boxercise @ lunch, yoga class @ nite


Wednesday: lift weights @ lunch, take step @ nite


Thursday: run/walk @ lunch, practice yoga and pilates @ nite


Friday: spinning @ lunch


Saturday: pilates class in am, swim in pm


Sunday: rest/walk dog/go hiking/etc.


i think that's doable for now. but obviously i'm not going to get to be much of a runner on this plan, so

Squeezing in 3-4 days of running was hard.

Why thank you! I modified it largely according to you guys' advice...so far it's going well. I'm beginning to see the very faint outline of a six pack. :)

I saw a trainer and she has me doing

weights 2-3 times (takes 1 hour)
cardio 3-5 times (30-60 minutes)

I also workout at home too. I don't like going in the moring to the gym, so I'll grab a Firm dvd and do that if I'm going to be busy at night.

I shoot for 5 days a week of one hour of exercise.
