Still more weights than cardio, although I'm pushing more of that as I go. Hour and a half, two times a week, additional as schedule permits.

What's yours?

(Please don't make shit up. We will know.) :cool:
 
Shovel/blow the driveway and walkways when it snows....hopefully 2 or 3 times a week.
Saturday jump on the sled and ride for 150 miles.
Sunday about 50
Rinse
repeat weekly

oh yeah..take the fucking Jack Russell for a run and play ball for an hour every night
 
January 2 join gym, buy new shoes and athletic wear, go three times, February 6 consider canceling gym membership...January 2 2021 repeat....:cattail:
 
Construction and gardening work daily. Walk the perimeter fence around 600 acres once per week. Whenever I get stuck in the office for several days, I ride my stationary bike 30 minutes while watching the news, .

Go to the gym every couple of weeks when I drive to town: 30 minutes on the elliptical machine plus another 30 minutes on the Cybex weight circuit.

Probably need to do aerobic stuff more consistently. I get lots of weight-bearing stuff in the course of doing my outdoor work.
 
Running almost every day still. I also do the Planet Fitness thing at least three times a week.

Fence? Welcome to the team, coati.

Open range. It's the only way to keep the neighbor's private property from eating and eroding other private property.

The open range laws still help to maintain a welfare state for wannabe ranchers here in Arizona.
 
Embarrasingly irregular.

I should get an actual, you know, routine.
 
Walking up and down stairs 30 times a day; walking a mile to local shops with a four-wheeled walker about twice a week.

If we lived in a bungalow I would get fat and flabby. As I would if we had a stairlift or a powered pavement buggy. While I can still climb stairs and walk - I will.
 
depends entirely on the time of the year and the weather

mostly get up, feed the animals outdoors, have breakfast...

then it's a case of sitting on my butt reading/writing/webbing/hobbying or playing with chainsaws, axes, mowers, garden forks/spades/landscapers, cement, bricks, more eating, weeding, burning stuff, household chores, bathing, coffee (always lots of coffee), baking, shopping, cooking meals, going places, walking up and down hills

feeding the outdoors animals, having supper, watching tv, hello bed

some days i break a sweat more than others ;)
 
Yoga -- at least stretches and a few poses every day. Maybe 15 minutes or up to 30 if I have time.

Weights/Kettlebells -- 20 minutes, 3 times/week is enough. Lift as heavy as possible, good form, and it is efficient. There is no way to get a shapely, lean body without strength training.

Swim -- This is a luxury for when time permits. I do freestyle laps, not sprints, but always in a lane with the boys which keeps the pressure on to move through the water quickly.

(What I don't do is: running (hard on joints) except for occasional sprints just so I can outrun any tigers.)

I do all but the swimming at home because that saves time. Have a spare room with mats and weights, kettlebells, Dynabands, etc. Nothing too fancy. I use the BowFlex SelectTech weights which have weight settings from 5 - 52 lbs so I don't have to have a big collection of weights around.
 
I drag myself out of bed every morning. What more do you fuckers expect?
 
An hour plus a day in two sets, five days a week, with weights (poundage decreased over time, with age), stair climbs, and exercises taken (and modified, with age) from a Royal Canadian Mounties exercise program book. Includes a set of yoga stretches for the legs left over from a rehab program. I've been set up to do this at home for nearly the last twenty years as I found that if I went to a gym I'd find excuses/reasons not to get in the car and drive there. I keep to it at home.
 
lately my routine is all geared to skiing. legs and core...haha mixed in with as many days on skis as i can get!

Look at this racist ass Einsatzgruppen with his fascist fencing......how very deplorable of him. :cool:


I wonder if Coati realizes he's exposed himself as a border loving Nazi Trumpster.

When I was much younger I was seriously fit. I played Rugby and Australian Rules. Our training sessions for both started with a 1500 metre run just to warm up. Out trainer was an Olympic Gold medallist at that distance.

I use to lift weights, was part of a surf rescue team as an oarsman in a surf boat, rowed number five in an eight and later on was part of a cliff rescue team, the person chosen if the rescue was in high winds or into the surf. I was a surface-based heavy hauler for cave rescue - too big to enter cave systems.

I raced motorcycles across country, rock-climbed and was a mountaineer.

As a result of all that, by my early thirties, I had vertebrae flattened at the back and developed ankylosing spondylitis which means I am missing most of my spinal disks, have fuzed vertebrae and a twisted spine.

Most exercise now, except gentle walking, is impossible.

Edited for PS: In the 1960s I beat the record for circumnavigating a cliffy island by going around without touching the top or bottom of the cliffs. The previous record holder was a Royal Marine who did it in 25 minutes. I did it in 13. Over the next five years several people attempted to beat my record but the fastest took 5 minutes longer than me. The island was closed to the public in the early 1970s and Health and Safety wouldn't allow it now because we used no ropes, no harness and no safety equipment. My record probably still stands but no one cares.

Job is completely physical with no sitting. I also probably walk about 8 miles a day. There is room for other stuff though.
 
Run 4 days, Planet Fitness the other 3. Rarely more than 5 or 6 miles and almost never at gym more than 45 minutes or so. Almost entirely cardio. I'm far more interested in keeping my heart ticking than what I look like naked so everyone can keep the weights. I keep my strength up in other ways.
Easy routine, works for what I want. Add low carb/hi pro and things aren't too bad.
 
I walk from the car to the house and into restaurants, rather than take the drive-thru. I lift anything that needs to be moved, unless I can put it off. I have a set of weights that I lift if they get in the way.

I get out of the car from time to time and do a combination 9f improper yoga mixed with even poorer form tai chi.

I sit up after each nap.
