What does your work out routine look like?

I joined the gym today. I don't even know what the machines are called yet. I did recognize the tread mill though. I got on it and all the funny youtube videos of people who fell off kept running through my mind... My knees were wobbley when I got off :neutral:

So for those of you who work out, be it at home or a gym... what do you do for a routine? Got any pointers?

 

Mondays - weights and belly dancing (BD is not a this gym)
Tuesday - 11:00 aerobic class - LOVE IT
Wednesday - weights and 20 min on the elliptical
Thursday - 30 min on the elliptical 20 on the treadmill / bike
Fridays - weights and 30 min on the elliptical
Saturdays - Whatever I'm in the mood for ..
Sundays -OFF

of course this varies from week to week as my work schedule permits, but it's ideally where I like to keep it.......

 

Mon-Sun- Curls.....:cheers:

 

Geez, I'm exhausted just reading that! I feel inadequate. LOL

 

When you joined the gym, did they ask you about setting up a training session? If not, ask them - they'll be happy to show you how the machines operate, what weights to use etc, weigh and measure to keep track of you results - thats what they're there for! :lol:

 

Treadmill intervals of running for two minutes and walking for 3 minutes at a time...do this for 1 hour...5 days a week. M-F....Weekends off!

Weights- have routine circuit set up by a gym person...three days a week

Swim- Laps for one hour...three times per week.

Good Luck! What gym did you join?

 

She made me an appointment for that for tomorrow.. can't wait! After that I won't look so lost when I go in.

Use whatever weight you can handle comfortably, don't hesitate to ask questions,, no matter how scary they look, everyone in a gym is willing to help a beginner. good luck:hurray:

 

I just workout with Gilad from 10-11 every morning....LOL!

 

I get bored very easy....so mine is always switiching up.....mostly 45-1 hour on the treadmill, incline high, speed high.....then there is the dreaded ball.....doing crunches and stuff I loathe on the floor.....now that 'Exercise on Demand' is an option on TWC....I also entertain some of the routines on there, including Gilad....I also have some Turbo Jam dvd's, yoga booty ballet dvd's and of course, Wii.

 

12 oz or 40? :lol:

Mine are usually 16oz. except on Tuesday's and Saturday's in which case they are 12oz.

Is this to break the monotony of it... Or is Tues & sat your burn day where you go for reps instead of Weight... :lol::lol::cheers:

 

Mine looks like this:

 

According to some online, I get plenty of exercise jumping to conclusions, running other people down, fanning the flames, shoveling stuff, and slamming those with whom I have a disagreement. I was unaware that I got such a workout from being online.

 

Me too, my index finger gets LOTS of exercise. Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling - keep that page a scrolling... YeeHaw!

 

I like the water arobics, but wouldn't know where to go, so guess will have to wait until it gets warmer so I can get the pool ready to go and wait for summer and do them in my own pool for free.
