Post your gym routine, how long you have been going for and how it has benefitted you.

I weight train 6x a week on top of having a heavy manual labour job.

Walk the dog every day.

This has been on going for over a decade believe it or not.

I don't fuss over diet, just work my ass off.

I am lost without the gym, it gives me something to strive for and fulfills a void that would otherwise be missing.

Social side is great too.

I don't gym as I don't have the time.

Just got back into fitness after a year off being lazy (wk 7 maintaining routine)

Run x 3/wk

Weight train x 3/wk

10 min abs x 5/wk

Give me 14 wks and I shall post the improvement results

It's working OP. I've been on and off at the gym for years but upped my routines this year and become more focused

I am at at the gym several times a week mixing weights with cardio

I do a boxing class, zumba and swimming. I take creatine monohydrate and cut out sugar and cards

Still a ways to go but I am starting to feel happy with my body for the first time in a long time. My mental health has improved along with my sleep.

I weight train 3 days a week, Pilates 3-4 days a week, yoga 2 days a week, and swim/run on average 3-5 days a week. I used to do height weights following Strong Lifts 5x5 and I had the best shape of my life. Now, I focus on a push/pull routine and heavily legs basically.

I’ve been physically active in some form since teen years. Being doing Pilates for almost two years, yoga for a decade, running for over a decade.

Running/swimming is the only activity I have found that allows me to fully switch off and focus solely on the activity without thinking about ten million other thoughts that frequently run through my mind. I owe my core strength to Pilates.

Without physical activity, outside of the bedroom, I’d be far less pleasant as a human I reckon.

That's a unique approach not seen that before sounds solid though is this something you mix up or stick to that routine?

Muscle memory is a great thing and once you have that gym bug you can't go without. Avoiding body dysmorphia is one of the hardest things

Broadly speaking, I go the gym 4 times a week (but will adapt to life!):

2x Push days, with legs (squats/quads) and C&J

2x Pull days, with legs (deads/hammies) and snatch

2nd day a little lighter/higher volume and different variations (e.g. only one back squat session a week), and no Oly stuff.

5-a-side football on a 5th day, and just walking on the others or maybe a bit of cycling.

But actually about to mix it up a little as it's been a while so answer will be different in a couple of weeks.

My routine is a bit weird because it's adapted round my wheelchair use. I have to work with a PT because I can't bring equipment off racks or carry bars or set things up easily, this means I can only afford the gym once a week. We fit in about 4 of the following movements/exercises, depending on my pain levels and whether my wonky left shoulder is playing ball:

Incline bench (35-45kg for reps)

Overhead dumbbell press (12 or 14kg)

Lat pulldowns (50-60kg for reps)

Seated rows, either single arm or double

Shoulder press machine (23 or 27kg for reps)

Bodyweight squats using the rig to haul myself back up - I can get down but not up

Prowler - tied to the back of my wheelchair and I tow it, up to 100kg on the sled

Stretches on the mat - depends on pain, which bits need stretching etc

I play wheelchair basketball when I can. I go horse riding. I push 5k and 10ks on the road, by wheelchair.

Sounds good a long time ago I used to train back with tris, couple days later I'd do Chest with Bi's. Shoulders had their own day and so did legs. Shoulders for me are the hardest to build on so always focused on them

I like it mate it’s something I would use as I like 2x a week frequency for training body part the only thing I’d maybe do is move the shoulder day just in case fatigue from shoulders effects the chest pressing movements but if this isn’t causing you issue it’s fine mate

I'd advise cardio and bodybuilding reps on compound lifts (8-12 reps) . You can do 12-15 reps for isolation movements.

I prefer mobility workouts to yoga, although much of those sorts of things are pretty similar really and I use a fair bit of yoga stuff within it.

You can build muscle in any rep range as long as intensity is high and you reach a point close to failure every exercise, ideally 1-3 reps in reserve. As long as the weights keep increasing over time you'll continue to gain muscle.

I favour 6-9 reps for all exercises as accumulated fatigue stays lower and you recover better. Using a lighter weight for more reps will just accumulate unnecessary fatigue.

I'd also do your weights first and cardio after.

I am lost without the gym, it gives me something to strive for and fulfills a void that would otherwise be missing.

Social side is great too."

I have my own gym in my barn. I train with weights for power and mobility four days a week. I walk the dogs 4 miles every morning and clock up 15,000 steps a day. Usually in the gym by 0630 six days a week for conditioning work.

VO2 Max is 47.5, RHR is 56, and 60s HRR is 38. All exceptional for my age, apparently.

Love a bit of gym time..

I'm trying to drop weight at the moment so it's a lot of active cardio and super sets.

My latest obsession is the stair machine. When it's quiet enough to get away with it in doing 30 mins stairs in a routine, boosted by 3x60 second sprints on the treadmill.

I need to start some upper body and core now.

I have lost 2 stone in 9 months and dropped a lot of body fat.

It was

Bench, deadlift, squat, bent over row, shoulder press. The rep ranges changed between workouts. Some would be 10 reps, some would be 5 (but heavier)
