You never really know what your going to be doing.
No set pattern or anything.
That way you never get into a grove and become apathetic towards your training.
Keep things interesting.

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."
I practice GJJ 3 times a week (Mon., Wed. and Fri.) and JKD 2 times a week (Tues. and Thurs.). I'm 39 so I don't lift weights as often as I use to, but try to lift at least 3 times a week, Tues., Thurs. and Sat., I believe in the phrase "go heavy or go home."

My only workout these days is at Gracie Japan. I go three times a week. Sometimes, like last Friday and Saturday, I'll do two classes in a row. I try to get there a little early and do some stretching and warming up on my own. Calsses are one and a half hours and break down like this:
First 15 minutes, warm up and stretching. This can be different everyday. Sometimes we just stretch, sometimes we do push ups and crunches, and sometimes we do ukemi.
Next 30 minutes, technique training. Usually 3 or 4 techniques a class. Usually do the same or similar techniques all week.
One day, I work the back of my arm and shoulders, doing 3 or 4 exercises. The next day I work the front of the arm also with 3 or 4 exercises. Then on the third day I don't lift.
On top of that, every day I do some walking and/or jogging/running, crunches, push ups and sometimes other various things.
I've got a good frame and my muscles respond really good, it's just my diet that's kept me overweight. But I've lost about 40 pounds of fat. Still got more to go, I'm doing good.
Right now I'm sick though, too weak and achey to lift.
