It's never the same. I liked to be active but work/life just doesn't allow for that much activity.

I run,cycle, swim, play basketball, lift weights mostly year round. Include seasonal activities during seasons.

For the core activities, mostly once a week more for some but some weeks none.

Include that with work, family, friends, and it just becomes too hectic sometimes.

It can vary but it’s usually bootcamp on a Sunday morning, followed by two classes of Badass and Rockbox at the gym. Sometimes Zumba on a Friday if I’m not off on an adventure. Mon -Fri I also walk at least 15,000 steps

From the end of October I’m starting small group PT sessions

Hmmmmm I love to be active.

I gym 3-4 times a week weights and calisthenics! I tend to do about 10 miles of walking a day. So my cardio is apart of my lifestyle.

2 days a week non gym days I cycle a Mtb bike 16 miles to work and back. So hard on a Mtb with massive tyres. But it’s a great workout.

Remember cardio before weights helps to build endurance, cardio after weights help to burn fat.

And leaves more energy to lift more weights haha

4 days a week at the minute was hitting 5 but dropped a weekend day in order to have more time to work on the house current split is

Monday - shoulders and biceps (plus one exercise for calf’s)

Wednesday - upper back

Friday - chest and triceps (plus one calf exercise)

Sunday - legs and lower back (few upper back movements thrown in as well)

Generally 2 sets to failure for most movements if I get less than 7 reps on the first set will reduce the weight slightly for the second if not same weight. Exception is legs where prefer higher reps

I'm running through a 4 day full body workout at the minute which combines a range of strength and hypertrophy exercises and again, targets each body part at least twice a week.

I also like to go for walks for around 30mins every day when it isn't pissing it down.

I practice yoga, but not every day. I do hiits training, but not every week. I cycle, but not every month. Health and work take a huge toll on the motivation to be fit and strong. I do however spend a good proportion of the day chasing around and playing games with a three year old. Keeps me young at heart. On the positive side, I had my 45 year old bloke health check, and everything is in the green. The lady said I was rare - which was nice

Im overweight, my endurance is shot to shit, and a lot of my former strength has gone. I’ve a lot of damage to undo, but undo it I will.

I do an extended cardio session once a week with the dogs, for hours on end then most Tuesday - Saturday I do shorter 30 minute dog walks for bonus cardio.

I don't do much exercise these days but I do aim for a moderate level of about 10 hours of high-intesity exercise per week. This includes swimming (3 hours), football (4 hours), badminton (1 hour) and some quick 5k runs spread throughout the week (2 hours). Sometimes I will mix in some gym work but that's just some body weight exercises and for that I aim to do 60 pushups, 10 pullups, 100 squats and 5 minutes of planking. It's not much but its honest work that leaves me feeling happy and healthy!

Well you do them face-down, so I'm the weight. Luckily I'm slim, so 3 sets of 10 isn't too tough
