Calorie counters, whats your exercise routine?

[emma_30]

I took on extra job last month and that keeps me busy, busy, busy (housekeeping) so I haven't done any extra exercise since then. Before that though I did kbell work out and Zumba fitness on the kinnect.

 

[MellyMoo]

wow you all put me to shame, i really need to start doing something

Walk/run 5 to 6 miles six times a week, plus 3 swimming sessions and 3 weights. this is only week two though so ask me in a few months lol

Because I am very overweight, I decided to do something low impact. I swim 4-5 times a week for about 45 mins - 1hr no breaks. I do not try and work out how much I have burned I just try and keep the calorie content low and hopefully it will work.I am going to add some landbased stuff like walking briskly etc in the next few weeks. I can not afford a gym right now but I know I will need to build up my routine as I lose more as it will take more effort to burn things the slimmer I am.

Have you looked at cost of joining a gym?? its just that i notice u swim 4-5 times a week, if u add all this up cost wise, would it not be cheaper to have a membership??? I know it would be where i go, swimming is expensive these days no matter where u go, even when i had a concession card years ago it was still £1.30 a time....i pay £36 a month for my gym membership which enables me to go peak or off peak, do all the classes, swimming, gym ect...its great value. maybe u should have a look into it??? good luck!

I don't really have a set routine. But this is generally what I do:

Monday - Friday I have to walk 3.6 miles a day for the school, I'm now starting 30 day shred, so will be doing that for 20mins every day, I do 30mins-60mins every second day on the exercise bike, every day if I can if my bum isn't too sore. And I've now got weights, mat and an ab machine to start using too.

i have a fitbit, that's all the exercise I do at the moment.

 

[parfittaroles]

My routine changes depending on what shift I'm working, but generally it:
Monday - circuit training
Wednesday - Latino fit
Friday - Zumba
Sat/sun - 90 minutes at gym

... I thought I did a lot until I read how much some other people on here do lol

Gym 7 days a week. Personal trainer 3 days a week - 1 hour. and then I join a class everyday as well. I spent around 18-20 hours at the gym a week. Everyone at the gym knows me lol.

Eight weeks ago I did nothing but now I Zumba 3 times a week and bokwa once a week. I walk a fair bit most days cos I can't drive so school trips & work are done by bus and walking. I was really worried about my lack of co-ordination & zumba but I realised I'm not as bad as I thought & I love it so much now! I also try to do just dance a couple of times a week & Zumba on the wii on Sunday mornings. It's definitely keeping the losses going & changing my shape massively....

I'm afraid it's not a proper routine yet! I have ME which unfortunately limits what I can do. It's so annoying, and I do actually really enjoy outdoor exercise.

I usually ride (a horse) once or twice a week for 1-2 hours; generally it's a quiet ride which is mostly walking, though I love a good canter. I know as exercise goes it isn't the best, but it does miracles for my mind and soul, and gets the happy hormones flowing.

I also love walking and cycling, and am determined to get into a proper routine of walking/cycling most days of the week.

I have got a pedometer which I'm going to start using again today, and am going to go for a walk for about 1/2 hour, and want to do this 3-4 times a week. The trouble is it's fine on days when I feel OK, but a struggle on bad days. I need to be realistic and aim for say 15 mins on these days, which is better than nothing.

I see a personal trainre once a week for strength and muscle tone and the rest of the week I do at least 1 hour of movement, I try to shake it up so I dont get bored and the only rule is that I must break a sweat so if I go for a walk and I'm not puffing and panting I have to jog a little ( although I only manage about 1 minute at a time). At my weight just brisk walking burns a lot. But the math of 3500 per lb sooooo doesnt work.

After months of wasting my gym membership I have finally been back this week, with only 1 week left of it (I paid upfront for the year)
I said if I am going to renew the membership I HAVE to start going. So far this week I have been 3 times - twice for an hour of swimming and once to the gym to start c25k.
I plan to go back to classes after the bank holiday weekend, I particularly used to like Zumba and Aquafit. Once I have lost some weight and built up stamina I would like (Maybe!!) to try spin classes. Definitely not for a while though!
I think my week will look like this:

Monday: Aqua Zumba + 40 lengths
Tuesday: Zumba + C25k
Wednesday: Nothing
Thursday: Zumba + C25k / Swimming
Friday: Nothing
Saturday/Sunday: Maybe C25k
