Thursdays - quads/calves
Fridays - Shoulders/arms

But I also do 60-90 minutes of cardio before my weight lifting routines. And after I'm done lifting, I do about 30-40 minutes of abdominal/core work and stretching.

I don't lift on the weekends, when I do my long rides. On days that I ride during the week, I make sure it's not on a "leg day".
So, guessing that your weight routine takes about 30-45 minutes...am I adding correctly when I figure that you're in the gym for about 2-1/2 hours on weekdays? Holy cow! I can't imagine how you find the time.

I squeeze in about 4-5 workouts a week - lasting anywhere between 45 minutes and 1hour 45 min and I know what an effort I have to make to get that in...DH knows it's a priority if he wants me to keep my sanity.

Anyway, back to the original question, I don't see my trainer during the summer months...too many things to do outside...just don't want to be in the gym. So I look forward to it in October, that's when I go back to weight training about 2x a week until May...and then I go back to "heavy-lifting" in my back yard
