Do you mean my frequency or my actual routine? I'll try to answer what I think you're asking.
Instead of switching every day or every other day between upper and lower body like most people and like I would suggest my clients do, I personally prefer to exhaust my muscles by working out upper one week and lower the next. My routine is to do weight training on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. On those days, I do cardio (for 20-30 minutes) and weights. On Tuesday and Thursday, I do only cardio for 45-60. Sunday, I sit on my bum!
I do crunches as soon as I wake up in the morning. I get out of bed, put my feet on the bed and do crunches until my abs fail. No counting. (I do push ups along with my abs when I am weight training my lower body.)
I am strong and I build muscle very quickly, especially on my lower body. To prevent bulking up, I use lower weights and higher reps. It takes patience for me because I like to FEEL it quickly, you know? But, I can focus on form and I get better results.
Hope this helps!
