> Full body workouts for five days a week followed by a 30 minutes cardio session after every workout.

> Timing: 11:00 hrs
Lasts for around an hour and a half.

> Use the hard Roller and joint rotations to get myself warmed up before my workout routine.

> As of now I've been doing the "Bring Sally Up" workout.
I do the push-up, squat and pull-up variations of that challenge for as long as i can (3 reps on each variation)
Quite some challenge and I would recommend you all to take up that challenge if you wanna REALLY know how long 3 minutes can be ;)

> Cardio Sessions are all about Jump ropes since the past 3 months cuz of the Lockdown situation otherwise I go for a swim, run in the park or cycling.
I do 30 mins of continuos Jump ropes and try to target more than 5 kms (can measure the distance thanks to my fitbit versa)

> Also do balance work on M-W-F on my Balance Board.

> Handstands in the evening (everyday)

Bring Sally Up push-up challenge, painful af LOL
 
Since covid19 and the induced home office, I doubled my amount of weekly workouts (1 -> 2). I'm too lazy to go to the gym, so sport at home is the only option for me.

I have a routine which boring as hell. I hate every second of it. But it feels so good when it's done, that I keep on doing it.

The routine is designed not to sweat. If I feel some sweat forming on my forehead, it means I've probably been pushing too hard. It takes me up to 2 hours if you include fcn breaks, about 1 hour if I'm in a hurry (between meetings in home office).

I have a set of weights 2 x 12kg (26lbs), which I use for lifting above my head, do curls and weighted squads (12 reps each). Followed by 20 sit ups. Repeat 3 times, with enough breaks between every single exercise so you don't sweat.

And than I go die on my home rower for 400 strokes on high resistance level, which takes 15 mins. I'm pretty sure this is a world record, nobody can hold it longer on a machine obviously made in hell.

Lockdown severly limited access to the gym and various workout equipment. (especially at the gym where I paid my fees and never went:rolleyes:)

I did however decide I needed to get something done so after a fair few hit and miss attempts found a set of Bodyweight workouts. Pretty much formed a habit now of every morning. 3 days a week for strength and muscle, and 3 days cardio based.

The key was switching up every 3-4 weeks to stop monotony and keep on top of the gains I was making.
 
This is a great section. Being active and staying fit are very important to me. I workout (almost everyday) and do physical outdoor activities. Being active helps keep my mind focused and feeling young!

don’t get me wrong, I still love my whiskey and beer with a side of cheeseburger,.. but everything in moderation, lol

I carry, I lift, I pull, I push. The better question is, " what do you lift?"

I love anything fitness, it is truly my #1 hobby and has been since 4th grade. I was always the small guy growing up and to play sports I had to get faster and stronger. I was the lad who would stay behind after a sport practice and would get extra wind sprints in, or would stay after a weight lifting routine and do extra lifts. That mentality has followed me all my life and has become part of my DNA. To this day I work out daily but have switched back and forth over the years between aerobic and anaerobic activities.

Currently I am getting my workouts in on a road bicycle. I typically ride 100 miles during the week and then 50-75 miles on Saturday. A normal weekday workout lasts an hour with Saturday rides lasting 3.5 - 4.0 depending on who I ride with. This fall I plan to continue biking but will start getting weights back into my routine.

I also have a home gym in my dark, dungeony, basement. I have a treadmill and bike set up. They are both hooked up to an app that guides my workouts. I also have weights and a small pad set up for body weight exercises.

I was training for 6-7 events this year and am bummed all have been cancelled.

I hope everyone out there is able to get something in. Even getting outside and walking is good for all of us in these times.
 
I am active about 7 days a week, but weights are 5 days a week, and cardio 4 days a week. I've learned not to do intense cardio the day after leg day.

I started with dumbbells, but I just invested in those Undersun resistance bands with the door stopper which is a great substitute for the cable machines I love to use for lat and tricep exercises. I also now use the bands to get a better burn on push ups because I need to do push ups lol I've always sucked at them.
 


I don't do anything in particular anymore.
Whenever I find a chance to be active I seize it.

After years as an active rugby player and triathlete, I'm just trying to maintain what I had while doing the mummy thing. Recently, I can see the holes where muscle once was. Which is...not the best feeling. I sometimes see my own legs and don't recognize them. :confused:

But I do lift (my kids) every day. And they just keep getting heavier.:eek:
I commute (with my kids) by bike 6 days a week, which is probably my most consistent exercise.
I do many many squats (to pick up toys/clothes/random food/other miscellany).
I run (to play tag/catch or get someone into bed/a car/a bike/ the house).:p

When I'm lucky and the kids sleep past 6am (like twice a month), I practice Ashtanga yoga. Usually I only get through the sun salutation A and B, or maybe the standing series if I'm really lucky.

Recently, I retuned and repaired my road racer. Having had my work hours reduced, I have been trying to get back on the bike with my free time. And with the beautiful summer weather have had a few mini triathlons out to the sea for a dip, beach run and ride home.

At the same time, I am pretty picky about what I eat.
I'm a strong believer in "food is medicine" and tend to avoid any processed or imported foods (with the exception of wine;) )​
