I thought I would start a new thread to hopefully inspire and motivate not only myself but others by sharing what our daily workout routines look like. Please feel free to post and share your daily workouts!

I will start and before anyone asks: WnDn format refers to what week and day are you on. So W6D5 is Week 6, Day 5 of my workout schedule and diet.

And this is a great exercise web site: Exercise RX It shows muscle groups, how to do the exercise, and a bunch of other stuff.

Also YJ is a great site for Yoga poses and information.

first off great job on your weight loss!!

Secondly-if you would like to join a group that has been going for awhile, check us out. It is just below, this thread called, something like daily workout chat. We start a new one every month. There are about 6-8 that have been going for awile. Some leave for awhile and come back. We talk bout our lives, our workouts, our eating struggles etc.. Some are on JC some are not.

Check it out if you want.

If not, I hope you much success.

Thanks Jeseth for the offer. I had stopped by in there when I first came in, but didn't notice anyone posting what their workouts were and a lot of posts were "I didn't work out today". I would like to see more posts with what people are actually doing for their workouts for fresh ideas when the daily routine starts to drag.

Had a really good workout this morning. It was on the chilly side this morning so had to wear a light jacket. Max and I did 1.8miles in 30 minutes.

It was gorgeous out this morning. Ran into 6 of my neighbors. Seems really strange to see people out walking/jogging at 5AM, since normally I am the only one trekking through the streets that early. It's great to see so many getting out and exercising! We are supposed to get more rain this weekend, but for right now being able to get outside is wonderful.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning Myriad,

How are your workouts going?

I'm doing Slim in 6 from Beach Body, so my workouts don't change daily, but every few weeks. I finished the first two workouts and I'm on to the third one for the remaining 4 weeks starting Thursday and it is 60 minutes. I do each one for six consecutive days, then take one day to stretch or do a light workout. I have noticed an increase in my strength already, which is motivating.

Sorry, mine isn't too exciting. I am committed to working out 6 days a week.

Have a great day!

Hey Jen! Thanks for stopping by. I haven't seen the Slim in 6 workouts. I will take a look at what they consist of. Look forward to sharing ideas with you

I cleaned up the thread, so I will be posting my workouts once a week in advance. I spent a couple of hours today going through my CPT manuals laying out the routine for the next 8 weeks. This makes things easier for me at 5AM. I had skipped a few weight days this week because of the holiday and well I just lost track of what day it was!

This is for week 8, May 25th:

W8D1
30 minutes cardio (w/Max)

Lower body day
Leg Press 12/60 12/60

I did the third workout this morning, called Burn it Up and boy did it burn. Tons of squats and lunges and more leg and butt work on the floor, not to mention the abs. I wore my heartrate monitor and had to slow down a few times to stay in my zone. I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow! I think I'll do one of my yoga DVD's tonight to get in a little stretching.

Have a great day.

I work out at least 4-5 times a week and also do the treadmill for 30min starting at 3.4 for 10 min.and then to a 4.0 and sprint for a few minutes and then back to 3.4 for 10 min and again but incline instead of sprinting. I also do the bender ball for core and butt and thigh every other day. Total weight loss is at 58lbs and still want to lose another 25-30lbs.

Working out is the key for me, my whole body has changed.

JenGen that is great! I love the lower body workouts but I hate the soreness afterwards. *laugh* The yoga tonight will really help you out on the soreness. If you are really stiff tomorrow you might want to take a relaxing soak in a hot bath with Epsome salt. (a lot of bath salts have this)

Hey Strongandlean! Welcome! It is pretty amazing what daily exercise can do for your body's composition. Sounds like you have a nice cardio routine set and are incorporating some weight training as well. Congrats on the total weight loss so far! That is excellent!

This morning's walk with Max we maintained my HR in zone 2 for 40 minutes. I still have a 60 minute Yoga class tonight so that should stretch everything back out again. And for those that don't know, Max (Maximos) is my 6 month old German Shepherd. He is a ball of energy and a great exercise companion. No matter how fast or slow we go, he is just happy to be there hanging out.

I will be posting my Week 9 routine on Sunday.

Hope everyone has a great fit day!

Week 9 workout plan starting June 1. Weigh-in this morning showed another 1.2 pounds lost. Next Saturday we take measurements. Hope everyone has a great week!

60 min cardio

Hi. Maybe you could give me some ideas or some input. I have been doing some kind of cardio for years. Sometimes I add in weights/machines or floor exercises. When I started Jenne Craig I was doing 1/2 hr. a day on my eliptical going to the 3 or 4 level of resistance. I also walk my dogs daily and garden,clean and paint my house,etc. I was doing find but slow so we upped my calories to 1200-1500 to see if my body was in starvation mode. I then increased my cardio to 1hr. I STOPPED LOOSING WEIGHT! I even gained 2 lbs. So I went back down to 1/2 hr. of cardio and 1200-1350 more or less. I cut out the desserts too. Nothing for 3-4 wks. My consultant says she is not a medical person and dosen't know what is going on. Do you or anyone out there have an idea. I started at 160 and am about 148-149 now after FOUR months. my normal weight was always 125-136. I am 55.

HELP

Have you seen a doctor to have some basic tests? Thyroid, hormones etc? Do you drink alcohol?

What zone do you maintain when you are doing cardio? Put another way, what is your target heart rate during your cardio sessions that you maintain?

There could be many things going on as to why you have stalled and without knowing all the details it would be hard to pin point. I would start off with a trip to the doctor to make sure your thyroid is okay and blood work. Talk to him/her about your weight loss and the difficulties you are having to lose the final pounds.

For the workouts, do interval training on cardio. (Sort of like wind sprints) Break up the pace and work at different heart rate levels.

I do 1 hour of cardio every morning now 7 days a week. Three days a week Max (my puppy) and I do sprints for 30 minutes followed by 30 minutes of hill walking. This normally keeps my heart rate in zone 4&5. The other 4 days are normally kept in zone 3.

You can google a heart rate chart to get the various ranges for your age group.
