Weekly Exercise Schedule
I get asked all the time about the workouts that I do. Today, I am going to share a sample workout schedule with you. What I put below is a typical week for me- with no workout really lasting longer than 30 minutes. Except yoga 😉
Sunday: Rest Day.
- I always have 1 weekend day that I do not workout. The rest day is the day that I plan our menu for the week and write out my schedule and plan for work in the upcoming week
Monday: Cardio day (30 minutes). We have a fabulous treadmill that Michael and I got about 3 years ago. We keep it in the garage and while it can be so hot in the summer I am beyond thankful that we have it. I usually do a run/walk or some kind of interval run. I love a 2 minute fast walk and then a 3 minute fast run/sprint.
While I run I usually read a book on my kindle or watch something on Netflix. Just a side note: I paint my nails before I run because I know I won’t mess them up. I get a lot of comments on my manicures and I do them every week- right before a run!
Here is one of my Tone It Up favorite interval runs.
Tuesday: Strength training day! I try to do full body workouts every other day and I mix it up. Usually doing it in my pajamas 😉
- Blogilates: Leg Slimming PIIT Workout
- Tone It Up: Bikini Arms
- Kayla Itsines: Beach Body Guide Arms/Abs Circuit
Wednesday: Run day! If you don’t have a treadmill or way to do cardio at home I adore this Tone It Up: Love Your Body with HIIT.
- Doing stairs is another great way to get in some cardio at home.
- Try a walk outside if the weather isn’t super hot.
Thursday:Weight day! I love my Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis DVD- her Ab sequences are incredible and get to those small accessory muscles. You can buy her DVD set here. I love that you pick your body type and the DVD is customized to you. Some of her workouts are on youtube if you want to try them out.
- Tracy Anderson: Omnicentric Standing and Laying Abs
- Tone It Up: Bikini Body Routine
Friday: Running day. Again, I usually only have 30 minutes to exercise in the morning, but if you have more time go for it! Our kids wake up at 7 AM when their clock turns yellow (Here is the link to the Tot Clock- this thing has helped our kids understand when it is time to wake up by changing colors in the morning)
Here are a few other HIIT workouts to do in place of this if you don’t have a way to do cardio at home or access to a gym:
- Tone It Up: Hiity Bitty Bikini
- Tone It Up: Hump Day HIIT
- Tone It Up: Boxing HIIT Workout
- Blogilates: Quick Sweat
Saturday: Whenever possible I am happiest Saturday morning at Big Fish Power Yoga on my mat sweating it out. I have never found a studio that creates an experience like this one and am so beyond thankful they are in our neighborhood. If you are local to the Jacksonville area I can not recommend them enough.
I hope that this post can inspire you to give working out at home in your pj’s a try. Also, please leave a comment below and let me know if there are any other workouts or exercise/fitness questions or posts you would like for me to share. I want to keep this blog relevant to what you all want to read!
Have a wonderful week!

I was so excited to open this post up- I really love hearing people’s weekly workout routines- but what makes your particularly motivating is how you limit it to 30mins and can even do some of them in your pj’s! It takes away the daunting thought of I have to spend hours trying to workout to achieve results, health, balance! I love how you vary your workouts and keep them highly effective but they don’t drag on for an 1hr plus! I can’t wait to follow a similar routine! Can’t thank you enough for sharing! Oh, one question- are some of your runs distance vs. sprints, etc?
I promise to keep on sharing! My runs vary- on the weekends I can sometimes squeeze in longer runs. Usually I do some kind of interval sprints/hills/etc.
