    I realize we already have fitness discussions going elsewhere. This is just a quick poll of the day.

    How often do you work out?
    Do you have a set schedule or routine, or do you just go on a whim?

    How long did it take you to fall into your routine?

    Share details from an especially rewarding workout.

    Actually, I'm averaging 4 per week.
    1 long-term intense cardio
    2 weight days
    1 yoga night

    I'll likely increase once the pool opens.
    And I'm going to start martial arts again.

    2 to 3, with the occasional 4th day. I'd like to work out more, but can't seem to schedule it.

    So I switched up my weights routine a few weeks ago. The impetus to work out is still there, but I want more progress. Or really, any progress. 5-6 days a week of high vplume weights was really wearing on me. So I have gone the complete opposite, to an arthur Jones (developer of Nautilus) high intensity routine. Only 1-2 sets per body part, whole body routine. Most sets include a drop of weight with a few more reps to force out more work and intensity. At most, this is done every other day. It's a pretty exhausting hour if done right. I figure I might keep this up for a few more weeks and then start transitioning into higher volume split routines. But it's a nice break from what had become kind of tedious.

    I'm around 4 regularly, with 5 my goal. I do a 3 day split then repeat it (skipping a second leg day, because brah). Chest/Tri, Back/Bis, Legs with shoulders in there randomly. Most of my days revolve around Flat Bench Press, Squat and Deadlifts. I do that for 30-45 minutes then accessory work (sp? I can't remember all that shit) based on the body parts I hit and if my Gym Buddy wants to do crazy stupid shit for no reason. My favorite is back day so I can deadlift and try to pick up heavier shit each time. Depression is also a big factor in the amount of days I exercise.

    2 currently will get that number to 3 though. Also wheel or landstride (forearm crutches) several times per week. Would like to be able to get to 7 miles at a go on wheels.

    Just digging up an old thread- I used to have a regular exercise program, alternating between weights & cardio each day, with a six-day routine and taking one day off. Sessions were short; I figure 30-45 minutes of cardio is good and 30 minutes of weights was all I needed.

    Then the pandemic happened, I lost my job and went to work at UPS. There, they said it was like "getting paid to work out", except that you did the same exercises every day for six and a half hours.

    When I got home, I had no energy whatsoever for my home routine. I needed as much rest as possible, because I would need to do the same thing tomorrow.

    Since then, I've moved on to other various warehouses, some even worse than UPS on certain days, others a bit less strenuous... but I'm active. It's not ideal, and I should be making some sort of effort to get back into a regular program.

    It's just harder when you're on your feet all day (there is no sitting at my station at work.)

    fflowley Don't just do something, stand there!

    I have days at work where I'm on my feet moving around a lot (but not hard physical labor).
    I have days where I spend a lot of time sitting in front of a computer.
    On the whole the days in front of the computer leave me much more fatigued.

    I used to take 20 minute naps after work; I no longer feel the need lately- but on weekends when there's less activity I'll grab a short nap.

    If I feel I'm sitting down too much, I'll get up and try to accomplish some chore that isn't crucial, but will keep me on my feet for a duration.
