If you had unlimited time during the day...

[runaways]

without work or school or kids of take care of or anything, what would your workout schedule look like?

I saved 2 of my months off for April and May, so I've been done with school since the 19th of March. It was great at first, and now it's driving me crazy. We have a few trips planned but they are mostly weekends except for a week in Mexico in early June, and I'll also throw out that I'd like to be more bikini-ready than I am now for that.

I've essentially taken a break the past couple weeks (~15 mi/week plus a couple gym trips) and I'm ready to hit it hard again (8 miles coming up this evening). I was considering moving my runs to the morning and running 5 days/week and then trying to go to the pool and swim some afternoons and lifting others. I kind of want to do some yoga again but I don't know that I want to pay for classes. 

[CallingAllAngels]

I'm not at expert, but I like thinking about this because my dream is to quit working when DD starts school and make working out be my job.

M Long Run
T Recovery run
W Swim/strength
Th Short Run/yoga
F Swim/strength
S Speed work
S Off

[osulori]

Probably something like...

M slowish recovery run and yoga
T spin class, strength (there's a TRX/spin combo class at a local studio that I love)
W short run
Th speed/tempo work
F short run, upper body strength
Sat long run
Sun rest

I was unemployeed for a short amount of time, my days looked something like this:

Early workout - 7 or 8 ish for about an hour - usually Barre 3
Run in the mid morning
Barre 3 again in the early afternoon
Yoga in the evening

There were days that I did 3 Barre classes because there were back-to-backs that worked nicely.

ETA:  Oh you mean a week.  I would usually do that every day in the week.  Saturdays had either only 1 Barre class or none due to my longer run.  Sundays would be rest which was just 1 or 2 yoga classes.

[cinco]

Mid morning (9-11ish). I'd get it all done in one swoop, so I'd only have to shower once.

[breezy8407]

Well this actually happened to me sort of...I was unemployed for a lot of 2010. Besides job hunting in the morning, I had the afternoons free to workout. I kept my really cheap gym membership for my sanity.

I would usually go running and/or to the gym around 2:00pm each day. I was lifting 3x using NROL and running about 5x a week. I also did one day of yoga.

I think it was like this:
Monday - 6-8 mile run
Tuesday - weights and easy run
Wed - 6-8 mile run and yoga
Thur - weights and speed workout
Fri - easy 3-4 mile run
Sat - 4-6 mile run
Sun - easy 3-4 mile run

I worked out A LOT.

[Susie]

My week would look like whatever Ironman training looks like.

I don't say that cavalierly, I just mean that if I had that kind of time I'd train for a 140.6 instead of a 70.3, so my schedule would reflect that, and change week to week.

[bella9280]

I'm a SAHM this is my schedule:
M: teach spin in the am
T: 10k run
W: Teach spin in pm
TR: Long run (10miles)
Fri: weight training with trainer
Sat: 3mile run and weight training class
Sun: off

[wambam]

I'd probably workout in the mid morning instead of after work. And I'd do two-a-days probably twice per week.

[Wines Not Whines]

I think I'd still mostly work out in the morning, because that's what works best for my body, but I'd start around 8 am instead of 6 or 6:30. And I'd do yoga every day, probably in the afternoon.

[labbie]

I would still be a morning workout person, but I would do 2-fers all at once. For me right now I'd love to do running and then yoga and/or swimming.
Or if the weather was nice, I'd bike to a different area to do my run. I live for finding new running routes to keep me motivated!

[sadlebred]

Sat.-Sunday: Long bike rides b/c that's when my friends are off.
Monday: Recovery ride (60-90 minutes)
Tuesday/Wed./Thursday: 2 25-30 mile group rides and 1 day off.
Friday: Off

It wouldn't look much different than now. Maybe I'd add a mountain bike ride midweek.

[kams]

I would do my swim/bike/run workouts in the am, then coffee, lunch, nap, and yoga in the afternoon.

I would do my long run & ride on weekdays to free up weekends. That's something I try to do now, when childcare allows.

Get the yoga studio app, it is pretty awesome!

I will definitely check that out.

[gt7301b]

I took two months off before I started my current job and basically I did cardio in the morning and weights/yoga in the afternoon six days a week. It was fabulous.

[mainewifey]

I would probably work out twice a day. I'd probably swim in the mornings and do a group class or p/t in the evenings. Realistically I could do this now, but I'm using work as an excuse.

[thom]

I would look at running several marathons per year & seriously go after a BQ.

I'd also like to try yoga ( to hopefully benefit my balance & running) and also work on my biking and swimming enough to try a tri. Maybe.

I'm happy with where I'm at and the training I do, but if time & schedule wasn't an issue I know I could/would train harder & try more things.

[emuni04]

Workout in the AM, afternoons spent watching Bravo.

[Brit]

I would run in the morning. Lift after my run a few times per week. And go to yoga (or do my new favorite yoga app) almost every day.

Some combination of tap, ballet, and bikram yoga, with maybe a short race training schedule in there.

Are there adult pointe classes where you live? If so, I'm super jealous. Ballet makes my legs look good.

[mrshandy]

Hmmm...never thought about it. But I know for sure, my runs would be in the morning around 7:30-8, my favorite time to run.

I like the idea of only showering once too.

When I was unemployed during grad school, I did nothing and used it as an excuse to drink way too much hot chocolate.

[hannahb]

I'd get up, drink coffee,then run or run and lift. Then I'd go to a local coffee shop, drink more coffee and read while eating. Then maybe I'd clean and cook. Then I would hit up a yoga class.
