to ask what exercise you do?

[LittleSpark]

on Saturday, after yet another pitiful excuse for not going to the gym ( "Oh well, can't find a bobble to tie my hair back, can't go with my hair in my face...") I cancelled my gym membership. Again.

Then in a fit of panic and guilt ran out and bought a kettlebell and have been frantically YouTubing workouts to do in my living room.

Do you have a workout you can share with me? Or do you have willpower of steel and actually go to the gym?

Currently I walk the school run every day 2 miles (although that will change when I go back to work) and run 5k twice a week (but need to increase that to 3 times).

I am a bit of a recent convert to yoga so I like to do a home dvd on the days I don't run. -i recently bought a dvd which combines yoga and pilates and it's been really good for toning my post dc stomach. I am really unflexible so I wouldn't say I'm particularly good at it but I like it!

I work out most days. I do a lot of plyometrics and high intensity intervals. I also lift weights 3-4 times a week, go running, cycling and hiking. One salsa class and kick boxing. Trying to fit climbing in too.

Try Davina's 7 minute fit. 10 routines and you can do just 1 or all 10! Just 7 mins to start with and you can do it as the impulse takes you and including warm up, getting changed and a shower, you're done before you know it.

Gym 3x per week (in lunchbreak, makes my morning and afternoon more productive), run 5km 3x per week (evening once kids are in bed, i change into my running gear before i go back downstairs/sit down and promise myself tv and diner when i get back), some walking, prob 30 min 3x per week (get off the tube 3 stops early on my commute) sometimes a swim or a spinning class too (am trying to lose weight) but I love it, when I'm on a fitness roll it becomes much less hard to motivate myself.

I walk 1-2 hours most week days to and from school, nursery & work, and on the weekend and when I'm WFH, I dance for 30-45 min around the kitchen to some lively music. No-one can see me, so I can be as silly as I like.

I also live in a 3 storey house, so run up and down the stairs a lot, and do toddler weight lifting.

Oh and if I'm feeling energetic 30 day shred! But at the moment I'm more into yoga although I like to mix it up a bit otherwise I get a bit bored

2 mile walk to work and usually further at weekends. Davina hmm...

Walk the dogs for about 90 mins a day
C25k every other day when the footpaths aren't knee deep in mud, otherwise 30 mins on the cross trainer at home.

I used to shred, until my knees started aching alarmingly with the lunges - knees are a bit of a family problem so I decided to err on the side of caution. Sorry, Jillian.

Crossfit 3 times a week (so insanely motivating), and run (always have a marathon or half marathon booked in to force me to go).

45 mins of swimming 4 x a week.

I'm 29 weeks pregnant at the moment, after baby is born will alternate 45 mins of swimming and 30 day shred every day and walk for 1.5 hours everyday.

I swim 1K 3 times a week & walk at least a couple of miles on non swimming days.

(Mind you, it is so fucking cold here today that I might skip the walk).

Dog walking hour and half every day.

I walk briskly for 90 minutes, 5 days a week - this is part of my commute, just as well as I would be too exhausted to do much more when I got home. Dance class once a week. I occasionally do exercise DVDs (very occasionally..)

I have done it all over the years from daily gym, classes, running and home workouts. Running is the only thing I stuck to and enjoyed but a knee injury means I have t been able to run for two years. Nothing has come close to replacing it and nothing else gets stuck to. I do walk a lot but it's not enough. I think I might start going on the kids massive garden trampoline. I read that even just vertical bouncing for ten minutes is as good as a run!

I run 3 or 4 times a week. Always have a half marathon a few weeks ahead. Do lots of interval running.

Pirates once a weeK.

Aerial silks - a circus skills - two hours a week.

I've just joined a gym. Plan is to lift weight weights half an hour then swim half an hour twice a week.

I do classes - body combat , pilates twice a week, a power plate work out, a weights work out, a boxing and kettlebell PT session, a yoga class, a circuits class and a HIIT work out - the classes are all between 30 and 45 minutes long (except for yoga which is an hour and a half) and so can be done quickly without eating into the rest of the day v much.

I started back swimming when DD was 9 months old - I joined an early morning lane club in the school next door to the college I was going to for 8 months, as I had to be in early (before 8.15am) to get parking but classes started at 9.30 and we'd gather as a class at about 9ish. So I'd go next door, worked my way up from 4 lengths to 50, but also got a hot shower and could dry my hair in peace away from milky spits and whinging baby. I generally swam 3 days a week.

When I went back into the office, I stayed at the club for another 18 months (timings worked) and then moved office location so commuting pattern changed. I joined a gym near the new office with a pool, continued to swim 2-3 mornings a week and slowly got brave enough to tackle the gym itself.

I literally last week pulled out of that, as I haven't been getting there over the past year as much as I had been. (I was going at least twice, and sometimes up to 4 times a week- but I've been once in Sept, once in Dec, once in Jan and this morning). Between my work patterns changing, DH's commuting and changed travel, losing our au pair, and just too tired, it was too much to add back in.

DH's job is moving offices from the city centre to 10 minutes walk from home. DD is grumbling about never going swimming anymore (we gave up lessons in favour of a different sport she wanted - she's a good swimmer). The gym in the local hotel is decent, pool is nice, hours are fine, kids are allowed, and the cost for all 3 of us is not much more than cost for me alone in city centre. So we have joined there and I will go swimming Sundays with the family, and gym one night a week (or maybe a second).

I also have a set of handweights that I use at home, for arm exercises. And do a lot of "plank" and situps to target my tummy.

I'd love to find a yoga class I can commit to - I did a sunrise yoga last autumn which was lovely (6.30am, and then head to work) - but I couldn't motivate myself to rejoin last spring when it restarted (not offered between Nov-early Mar). But I am working on trying to get back some decent level of fitness.

I run at least 3 times a week.

Try and do a workout at least 2 times also.

If i miss a day I feel agitated

I run. Ideally 4 times a week but at least 3. Short runs in the week either at lunchtime if I'm working from home, or after work when dh gets in, and a long run at the weekend. I also get agitated if I miss a few days.

Run around after DS, walk most places and do a gym class about three times a week. Not bad I guess, but before DS I used to do six classes a week :(

Walk lots to keep FitBit happy. Job involves zero sitting. Gym three times a week (mainly arc trainer). Would love to run but worried pavement-pounding will exacerbate genetic jowlage (vain cah!).

I've only started recently (3 weeks in). DH gets a gym membership with work, so I'm on that. I do my gym workout x3 per wk (it's only very gentle atm!), yoga x1 per wk and swimming x3. We get free cinema tickets if we go often enough, so that's our motivation! It's also helping my general mood too which is good.

I did start to run, but had a lot of pain in one knee (prob because I'm overweight), so once I've lost some weight and I'm a bit fitter I'm going to start the couch to 5k programme again.

I have a treadmill and have done 3 x 30min sessions on it since Saturday but bugger all for the previous 6 months. I also go cycling when the weather is good.
