What's your usual exercise routine? It would be great to see what is working for different people.

Wow megoo that is a full on program. Is it working well for you? What have been the results so far? How long have you been training like that?

I dont have a routine.
I do something different every single day, which works well for fat loss because I am constantly changing it up. I could not bear to work by the same routine every week! But I understand for some people that works really well! I just am SOOOO anti organisational and I just do the exercise I want to do and what I enjoy!
What usually happens though...
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday I try to walk to work (5km) as I dont have a car spot those days.
I will go for a 4km run outdoors around 3 times a week.
I'll go to the gym when I feel like it (which is about 4-5 times per week) and do intense cardio (running, X Trainer, walking) and weights. I HATE doing weights at the moment though, so I have been slacking off on that.
I also LOVE going for big long walks (5-10km) on the weekends and I want to start playing a team sport!

Well.... I guess... At first, I lost 15 pounds within a month. Then, I can't go below 200 pounds for the life of me!!
I kicked it into full gear, and incorporated the workout that I posted (STILL NEEDS MAJOR TWEEKING), and noticed my body shape changing from flabby, to semi flabby = ).
I JUST weighed myself right now, and i'm @ 197ish, which took about 1 month of hardcore dedication!! Since I'm not in the 200's anymore, i'm gonna keep at it!!
*I am dreading my HIIT session tomorrow... UGH!!! But i feel so damn good afterwords*

Someone just asked this question a couple of weeks ago and it had some good responses... I recommend searching for that thread.
