| I work out 3-4x per week resistance training + (x2) LISS & (x3) HIIT per week. I used to run aaaallll the time, like 5 or 6 miles a night, but realized that wasn't getting me anywhere.
I gained LOTS of balance & core stability after adding the resistance and cutting down on the cardio.  |

Location: GA | Weight lifting 4 times a week, cardio maybe once a week before or after my workout. Abs once or twice a week.
Healthier diet with the good stuff on the weekend. I'm naturally very slim, so I'm trying add some mass before cutting down! That is when the cardio will be more frequent

Location: North Dakota | Well aside from barn chores and walking my dogs, I HAVE to do yoga at least a few times a week to help manage my back pain and it has the added benefit of helping to strengthen me overall. I'm really lazy and hate working out but I do enjoy the yoga because it feels soooo gooood. And if I don't do it my bad but sorta manageable pain becomes horrible, life ruining torture. I want to try pilates as well.
I also eat extremely well and am down almost 30lbs since the beginning of summer and am working on getting down to the 170-180lb range (which for my height, bone structure, and desired muscle, is pretty thin).

| I used to run, drive to the gym and workout, lift weights, and do all sorts of great stuff. After I had my daughter, I quickly realized that I didn't have as much time to workout and needed something that was quick and effective. I tried the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and after 6 weeks of her DVD was fitter after my baby than before. It is 20 minutes and easy to do in between chores or during naps. I'm pregnant with my second baby now and still workout to her DVDs with modifications 2-3 times per week. When I'm not pregnant, I'll shoot for 4-5 times per week. |

Location: North of the 49th Parallel | When I'm not having knee surgery, I was working out 3-4x a week. Mainly lifting quite heavy because I was trying to get stronger for my surgery. My cardio sucked and once I'm given the okay to go back to the gym, I definitely am going to focus more on core and cardio. I miss the gym! |

| Before I got pregnant I was doing T25 and I loved it. I got really fit and actually didn't gain any weight while I was pregnant (I was really sick and originally lost 25 pounds in my first trimester, and even after gaining weight I never gained more than what I lost.)
I only had my daughter 4 weeks ago but I'm anxious to get back to working out. Hopefully since it's only 25 minutes I can find the time to do it with the baby and work. |

| I do find it funny that so many barrel racers put so much time and energy into keeping their horses fit but rarely dedicate any effort into keeping themselves fit. While I don't barrel race, I do rope a lot. When I keep myself fit, my roping improves significantly. I run 5 miles 3 times a week and go the gym 2 days. I know it was a joke about being the best at exercising...but I really have seen improvement in my own abilities as I have put the work in to stay in as good of shape as my horse. |

My motto has been I will work just as hard as I ask my horses to-keeps me getting my workouts in especially on the days I don't feel like it. I have more confidence knowing I am strong and fit. |

| Confidence is the key. If you're concerned about your weight you are probably not going to ride as aggressively as you would otherwise. If you are just lazy and out of shape...then you probably don't care that much anyway. |
