Just wondering how much exercise fit people do?!

I'm overweight but have recently started couch to 5k.

So my typical week's exercise is:

Mon - walk 18,000 steps
Tues - swim if possible , walk 9,000 steps
Wed - walk 9,000 steps, C25K run
Thurs - walk 6,000 steps
Fri - walk 9,000 steps, C25K run
Sat - walk 5,000 steps, swim
Sun - walk 5,000 steps, C25K run

I don't know if I'm "fit". Other people say I am, so maybe.

Cycling (mostly commuting): 50+ miles/wk
Running: about 14 miles/wk
Walking outdoors: About 4 hours/wk
Swimming: about 10 miles a month

Some gardening & that type of schiz, too.

What is a HIIT class, anyway? How do you know, no class seems to be called "HIIT".

I walk the dog every day whilst doing the school run/errands. That usually equates to 4-5 miles a day of walking. The only day which I don't is Sunday when DH takes over the walk.

On top of this, I run 4-5 days a week and usually clock up 30-35 miles a week. Core work twice a week, and general weights once a week.

My 'official' exercise is 3 x 12-15k runs per week. Also walk the school run and go for family walks at the beach quite often too.

I walk 12000 steps at least every day. Run 3 times a week (around 10k most times) and gym once or twice.

Powerwave Thursday Saturday and Sunday.

HIIT class on Friday.

2 x 5k jogs a week.

Walk dog every day but he's not exactly speedy and school run is a mile each way.

Still overweight though!

ArgyMargy · 15/06/2017 14:06

2 or 3 10k runs per week. Other days just normal activities, clocking up around 5-7k steps daily. Plus weekend extreme housework &/or gardening 😬

Tues metafit and body combat
Wed bodypump
Thurs spin hit and weights
Sat hit and abs class
Walk dog for an hour and a bit every day

I'm not THAT fit, but am noticeably more toned and strong, and can walk/climb hills etc better, than without/pre-exercise.

Yoga most weekdays for about an hour.
Zumba twice a week for an hour.
BalletFit twice a week for an hour.

The secret for me was finding exercise I liked, and finding sessions that fit into my life.

Walk dogs 2 miles every day
Cut and split firewood.

Beginning to walk more with ds2 as we plan on doing a 12 km run next year. We did a 12km walk last Sunday and will do one 12km over the weekends now till we've done our run.

I try to do four gym sessions a week, one yoga class and walk my dog for an hour every day.

Sounds like you're off to a good start Halo
