Default What is your workout routine?

Ok,
So we have the thread about weight lifting. So lets talk about your routine? Give some specifics. How many days a week do you do cardio? How many days do you lift? How do you break up your routine?

Back when I used to work out on a regular basis I would do:
Week 1
Monday: Chest, Back, Shoulders
Tuesday: Cardio
Wed: Legs, Biceps, Triceps, Abs
Thursday: Cardio
Friday: Chest, Back, Shoulders
Saturday: Some kind of alternative cardio (mountain biking, tennis, ect)
Sunday: Free day

Week 2
Monday: Legs, Biceps, Triceps, Abs
Tuesday:Cardio
Wed: Chest, Back, Shoulders
Thursday:Cardio
Friday: Legs, Biceps, Triceps, Abs
Saturday: Alternative cardio
Sunday:Free day

Then just keep flipping the weeks around. After the week 2 routine I would go back and do the week 1 again and so on. Unfortunatly that was a few years ago. Now to get into better shape and healthier, i'm going to have to do cardio at least 4 or 5 days a week. I hate cardio

When I'm building muscle this is what I do:

Monday - Chest and Triceps 4 exercises 3 sets of 10 reps each exercise.
Tuesday - Back and Biceps 4 exercises 3 sets of 10 reps each exercise.
Wednesday - Shoulders and Legs 4 exercises 3 sets of 10reps each exercise.
Thursday - Chest and Triceps 4 exercises 3 sets of 10 reps each exercise.
Friday - Back and Biceps 4 exercises 3 sets of 10 reps each exercise.
Saturday - Shoulders and Legs 4 exercises 3 sets of 10 reps each exercise.
Sunday - Off

When I want to cut or lean out I do this:

Monday - Chest and Triceps 4 exercises 4 sets of 12 -15 reps each exercise
Tuesday - 45 minutes of cardio Burn a minimum of 600 calories on elpitical
Wednesday - Back and Biceps 4 exercises 4 sets of 12 -15 reps each exercise
Thursday - 45 minutes of cardio Burn a minimum of 600 calories on elpitical
Friday - Back and Biceps 4 exercises 4 sets of 12 -15 reps each exercise
Saturday - 45 minutes of cardio Burn a minimum of 600 calories on elpitical
Sunday - Off

I have heard good things about alternating your routine in order to confuse the muscle groups and get better results. Good thing to since I can't keep a consistent schedule.

I usually do every other day rotating between arms, pecs, shoulders then back, tris, lats then legs and abs.

I mix it up as to hi rep/low weight and low rep/ hi weight always doing sets that will leave me at failure. I sometimes pyramid the weight and reps.

Cardio is my dog Ransom, a golden retreiver that plays football (he is a real good punt returner!)and jogs with me every other day.

Yeah you definitely need to mix up the order in which you do your exercises.

Just weightlifting or do you want to hear from other people who work out as well - I do a little weightlifting but more for training than muscle results...

Any workout routine. Either for cardio, weight training, just to be healthy, any routine you do to get physically fit or stay in shape.

My ex is a fitness director at a gym and although she is a dumb cunt, she does know her stuff and I learned alot. You can probably fit in abs once more each week. I would try to break up bis and tris. Depending on what you are going for, you should do a bit more cardio but it depends what your goal is.
