Weight days - I do 15 minutes of elliptical to warm up, then do either legs or arms (several different weight machines, moderate weight, 3 sets of 15), then 30 minutes of elliptical.
Cardio days - 60 minutes of elliptical and stationary bike (total, not each)
Usually I do cardio, arms, legs, rest, cardio, arms legs, rest, etc, with each of those representing one day. This gives me 4-6 hours of gym a week, with a nice mix of weights and cardio, and the rest period in between the muscle groups required for proper healing/building. I play with the resistance/crossramp numbers, gradually increasing them from week to week as I can. I'm not a gym rat by any stretch, but it seems to work for me, and changing intensities every now and then seems to be good for shocking my body out of that elusive "muscle memory" thing I keep hearing about.
Here's the big thing, though. I have to have carbs before I work out. I tried doing this with the original intense protein/almost no carbs diet of the beginning phases, and nearly passed out several times. The body does not work out on protein, it works out on carbs, it's just important to pick the right ones (complex, not simple sweet).
