What does your workout consist of?

I either run slowly (12 min mile) for about 3 miles on cross country terrain, go for a fast run ( 9 min or less per mile) for 2 or 3 miles just around the neighborhood, go for a hike for a couple of hours, do a pilates tape or go to yoga. I do whatever I feel like for the day because I assume whatever I feel like is what my body needs. Like today I am anxious so I am going to run a couple of fast miles or maybe even just a mile to see what my time it now.

 

My work-out routine has changed alot in the past year. My employment requires me to exercise, which is great! Now I lift free weights in the morning before I go to the fire dept (work 24 hours, off 48 hours). One day chest, shoulders, triceps, & abs. The next day I do biceps, back, legs, & abs (differend abs work-out then the first day). Later on during the day after dinner I work-out with kettlebells. They are an old fashioned way of weightlifting russian style. I keep doing the same routine each day. It actually is a bigger cardio workout then weight training. Then the day after work, I either swim laps, stair master (which I love!), or yoga. It all depends on how much time I have and what I feel like doing............

Well I just quit smoking so I'm taking my cardiovascular exercise slowly. Right now I'm doing 30 minutes on an elliptical trainer every other day, and on the off days I do 30 minutes on the elliptical followed by thirty minutes walking on an elevated treadmill. Every other day I do light weights, focusing on deltoids, triceps, biceps, chest, shoulders, calves, thighs and inner thighs. About twice a week I do fifteen minutes of abdominal work. And of course lots of stretching.
