(And Why It Actually Sticks)

I get asked a lot what my actual weekly workout schedule looks like — not the aspirational version, but what really happens most weeks. So here it is.

This isn’t a rigid plan I force myself into. It’s the rhythm that’s actually stuck for me, built around how my week is structured and how I like to feel, not around what a fitness plan says I “should” be doing.

Weekends: my LEKFIT anchor

Saturday and Sunday mornings are when I do my LEKFIT sessions — usually Boost, Sessions, or Boost Encore. Weekends give me the time and headspace for a fuller session, and LEKFIT releases new filmed live classes to their streaming platform every day, so there’s always something different — I’m not doing the same class on repeat, and I feel like I am participating in a real class, which is honestly a big part of why I’ve stuck with it for almost 10 years.

Weekdays: working around a work-from-home schedule

During the week, I’m working from home, so my movement looks different. I start every morning with 10 minutes on my vibration plate – regardless of what else I a doing. I’ll usually fit in a 30-minute Echelon EX5s Connect Bike class on two days — enough to feel like real training without eating up the whole morning. The other days, I focus on getting steps in, spread throughout the day rather than trying to squeeze in one long session — my walking pad makes this easy to do without leaving my desk for long.

Why “movement every day,” not “workout every day”

This is the part I think matters most: I try to move every day if I can, but that doesn’t mean a structured workout every day. Some days it’s a full LEKFIT class. Some days it’s steps after meals or between meetings. The goal isn’t hitting a number — it’s how consistent movement makes me feel, and that’s been a much more sustainable measure than any rigid plan I’ve tried in the past.

The honest takeaway

None of this works because I’m following it perfectly. It works because it’s actually realistic for how I live and work — two focused sessions during the week, a proper LEKFIT session each weekend day, and movement filled in around all of it. If you’re trying to build something similar, I’d start there: build around your actual week, not someone else’s.
