I just do something active every day. On my most time crunched and tired days, I will still try to get out for at least a short walk.

I start most mornings with a walk or a run depending on how I feel, at 6:30a. It could be anywhere from .25 miles to 3 miles.

And at some point in the day I will incorporate either a bike ride or a walk with a friend and/or to do errands.

I also do strength training, or yoga when I have time, which ends up being about 2x a week.

And on the weekend I will try to do one long run (5-8 miles).

Run 60 or HIIT workout 5-6 days per week. Alternative strength and yoga (usually 20 minutes) every day.

I have a hard time sticking to something without a spoon-feed schedule, so I've been following the #hardcoreonthefloor monthly calendar. It curates workouts through the Peloton app. (I don't have the bike, just pay a small monthly fee for the app.). I think the only way to get the calendar through Facebook. Love it.

Monday -orange theory 1 hour, 30 min walk
Tuesday - Walk 6 miles, do 20 min. hiit peloton workout.
Wednesday - Cycle outside for 45 mins, walk 30 mins.
Thursday - orange theory 1 hour, 30 min walk
Friday - Walk 6 miles, do 20 min hiit peloton tread
Sat - cycle outside 45 mins
Sun - walk 4-5 miles and yoga

I run 3-4 miles daily and do the daily hardcore on the floor calendar. I also usually throw in an additional 3-4 mile walk 4 days/week. Hardcore on the floor is on fb and Instagram and was created by a trainer who puts out a monthly calendar of daily stacks selected from peloton strength workouts. It takes the guesswork and planning out of strength training and hits all the major muscle groups in a week. I have been following the group for 6 months and love it.

I do a peloton or run about 4-6 miles most days of the week and try to fit in weights (mostly peloton) where I can. I get crabby if I don’t get a good workout in, so that helps. I also swim when I can find the time during the daytime (I’m not an early morning swimmer, but can run/peloton early in the am).

You swim a 4,000 twice per week? I’m impressed!

40F here

1x session with a trainer for weights
1x weights on my own
1x HIIT with a friend
1x running with a friend or cycling on my own
Maybe 1x more 20 min peloton class and 10 mins core.

After 40ish years, I’ve learned that for my own success (meaning, keep doing it) I need to 1) keep it simple and 2) not go to a gym.

For cardio:

Mid spring through whatever temp I can stand it in the fall I walk briskly for an hour, 4 - 5 times a week, in the morning. I usually listen to audiobooks during this time, or a podcast. Sometimes, maybe 1-2 times a week I use my kickbike instead of walking.

The rest of the year I use an elliptical at home. I probably get more cardio workout with the elliptical, but I feel like walking is probably also helpful because of the fresh air.

For strength:

After the cardio, every other day I have a routine of abs, back, butt, leg and arm workouts. I bought weights at home.

For flexibility and general stretching:

At night I do a few quick stretches before bed. A few times a week I follow along with an instructor on Amazon or Netflix. I get impatient though because it eats into a lot of time.

Sometimes I bike with the kids on the weekend, but that is really just for fun, to go get ice cream or to a favorite spot they like. I also swim a little bit in the summer, but it’s sort of random and I don’t really consider it part of my routine.

Another Les Mills fan - I try to go to BodyPump three times a week, but often only manage two. I go to the gym to do that and they are still not offering as many class options.

The other days I walk and on the weekends I try to do an active activity like hiking or kayaking or skiing.

I really like the Les Mills classes

I do BodyPump twice per week and Body Attack twice per week

Barre class four times a week

Almost 40yo here. I do HIIT 6x a week for 1 hour at a time. Usually Peloton bootcamps or Orangetheory. Sometimes, I'll skip out of the HIIT workout and do a 45 min run instead.

I do strength training/HIIT 2-3x per week, yoga 1-2 times per week, and I walk every night after dinner. I make sure to get at least 10k steps per day. I was working out daily but but now give myself rest days (other than walking) due to a health issue that came up—plus I have to be much more strategic about getting workouts in now that I’m back at work in person.

Strength train 4 days a week (2x lower body, 2 x upper)
Run 2-3 days/week
