Fit people, what's your typical exercise each week?

[Badgoushk]

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

Run 3-4 times a week (from 20 mins to 1hr)
2 HIIT
3 weights workouts
2-3 other- aerobics, Beachbody vids and yoga are faves. If not working, a bit more.

God this thread is alarming! OP I am doing C25k too, wk 6, and thought I had joined the league of fit people as have lost almost 2 stone doing that and the 5:2, and have just started a weekly personal trainer session too...but from the above it appears I am a fitness BABY!!!

I just have no idea when I could do anything else, as DP works away and school hols are looming, and I can't really see the DCs being up for hanging around at any classes...

I cycle 5 miles a day (commute) plus one yoga class and one or two five mile runs and one Power Plate class.

On top of my commute I try to do a total of three things. If I won the lottery I would do loads more but with a full time job I don't have time for more.

I don't do all of this every week but 5/6 days a week:

Monday Kettlebell sport training
Tuesday Kettlebell fitness class
Wednesday short run,weights session or kettlebells
Thursday metafit and every second week a conditioning pt
Friday bodybuilding pt
Saturday Thai boxing class
Sunday mma and circuits

Run a mile every day, walk the dog 2 to 5 miles depending on time/weather. Also do either 30 mins yoga or 20 mins weights every day. I've found that it's better for me to do every day or else I make excuses and one day's rest turns into three or four. Also, we have a treadmill and weights at home so it's all easy and convenient.

Ive recently started doing the following

Mon- Body Pump
Tue - Body Combat
Weds - Spin
Thur- Body pump
fri - rest
sat - body combat OR run 5k
sunday - Insanity OR run 5k

Im still unfit as I cant stop eating shit.

When I was fit(!)
3 X PT sessions a week - hard sessions, heavy weights, deadlifts at 130kg
2 X spin
Horse ride X 3
2 X walk or training on own

Average week:

Mon Personal Trainer for an hour (weights based)

Tues. very fast 'whole body work out' spin class

Weds. 45 min swim (45 x 25 meters)

Thurs 90 min pilates class

Fri Spin class as above

Sat Pilates and swim or a spin class

Saturday night / Sunday I EAT & DRINK.

Goodness! How do you all fit these activities into your weeks???

I run twice a week - 4 - 6 miles
walk once a week, usually - 4 miles
I generally keep active, with 10/15 minutes walking per day to shops, work etc (I get off the bus two stops earlier and walk to work), gardening etc.
I would like to do more, but I know that if I overdo the exercise then I get tired and my mood drops (I have a tendency to depression). Anyway, my regime, such as it is, keeps me happy and full of energy and able to cope with the children!

I run about 27 miles a week (usually 1 club intervals, 2 medium runs and 1 long slow one), swim 1K twice a week and maybe do a boot camp as well.

Does a HIIT class advertised as 30 minutes (examples) mean that they do 7-13 minutes of warmup/wind down. or they aren't "really" HIIT? Is 23 minutes an important ceiling to keep to?

Finding the Time for exercise: one reason I run is that it's relative quick, takes up little time.

No Brexit, it doesn't have to keep to 23 mins. (I've seen people quote 8 mins as the maximum, haha.) Bearing in mind that most of us can'tactually push ourselves to our very limits the way seasoned athletes can. You just have to have periods of frantic intensity (balls to the wall.... eg. sprinting hard or AMRAP) interspersed with low intensity cardio or even complete rest. You could have an hour long HIIT class but of course you're going to start flagging long before the end, so the latter part of the class might in reality become more like steady state cardio for you... still a HIIT class in my opinion. I do HIIT and it's usually 25-30 mins max. Burns tons of calories but makes me hungry in a way that running and aerobics don't!

To be brutally honest, really fit people don't regard their "steps" as contributing to their fitness. It's just part of life and it doesn't occur to me to include it as part of my fitness regime.

Monday body attack 45 mins and yoga 1 hour
Tuesday boxfit 1 hour followed by 24 min swim
Wednesday body attack 1 hour yoga 1 hour
Thursday HIIT 1/2 hr Body pump 1 hour
Friday rest or swim
Saturday 11k fast run
Sunday interval training 1/2 hour GRIT 1/2 hour. Body balance 1 hour.

I workout every day. ATM, I'm doing Insanity which is up to 85mins per day of max interval training. I do this 6 days a week and then on my rest day, I run a medium paced 10k. I also cycle to and from work 3x a week which is a 14 mile round trip. I run the dc to school too (they cycle) which is a 3k jog twice a day.

Quite a lot really but I'm in the shape of my life atm.

Confused- it is nice to see another LesMills junkie here. Can I ask you- is GRIT cardio any good, if you've done it? It's marketed as intense and hardcore and so on and doesn't seem to have the fun factor that Attack does. I ADORE Attack. I'm a bit scared to try a new programme because I found Shbam so lame and embarrassing. Thanks .

Show- that's a lot of cardio!

Grit cardio is brill.

But quite honestly, half hour passes so quickly I wouldn't be bothered if I didn't find it fun. As long as good work out.

Go for it!

Wow! I am very impressed with everyone here!

4 gym classes (Pilates, yoga, metafit, boxercise)
Bouldering for about 2 hours everybody ten days - would be more if it was nearer.
Hour at the gym 5 days a week.

A run if I'm feeling stressed, kaying of friends are around, 8-10,000 steps per day

I aim for 2 netball sessions a week (1 training/friendly match and 1 competitive match) plus 3 gym sessions (mix of bootcamp/strength classes plus 1 pt). I also do the school run on foot twice a day with a double pushchair which is good exercise!

I lift weights 6 days a week. 3 Days of upper body and 3 days of legs. When I can, I swim for about 20 minutes after the upper body workout. I also do yoga sometimes.

I'm currently trying to build muscle. I'm probably going to go back to weights 4x a week and doing HIIT 2x a week.

I don't count walking as exercise. I don't do too much at the moment, work and kids take up all available time, so my current schedule is 2x Bodypump, run the rest of the days, 1 rest day.
For run, as I'm not training for anything at the moment, is just about 10K per run. If I have an eye on a race, it varies - intervals, endurance, speed work etc.

Rivers GRIT classes are great, Plyo is my favourite. Hard. But you do stuff in your own tempo, so have to really push yourself to get most out of it.

Average 100 miles cycling, Sunday and Thursday club ride, Saturday social ride and possible a shorter ride out on a Tuesday - the hills are getting flatter and my average speed has gone up considerably.
Maybe a couple of early morning swims usually aim for 30 lengths
A spin for recovery or if it's really wet.
I walk to work so 15 miles per week

Well done OP on challenging yourself with getting fitter

stinkingbishop can you take the children for a daily scooter or bike ride to fit your running in during the holidays? Get them involved and ask them to encourage you

There are tonnes of Hiit exercise classes on YouTube for every level. I like FitnessType and Fitness Blender. Also Moms into Fitness has routines for people getting into exercise after kids.

I got quite fit just prancing about to these for 20 minutes a few times a week. There is so much to choose from you never get bored.

Wow this is an eye opener for me. I'm not sure I could fit that all in if I wanted to but shows just how little I do.
Luckily I'm not much overweight but def unhealthy....
