Resistance training, Boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Cycling, Calisthenics and a lot of walking (Average 50-60miles a week).
Combine all that with my job and it keeps me in shape. 
I have to be careful about doing too much though. Physical burnout isn’t fun. |

Jake: weights six days per week. Run once per week. Boxing once per week.
Becky: snatches gym sessions and runs as and when she gets time/feels like it. She usually exercises three or four times per week.

"I only do walking ... walking is a great exercise i do lots with the dog"
It tends to neglect the upper body though. I really ought to think about doing something to maintain upper strength and mobility.
I used to swim a lot but they closed the pool we used. |

I do pole twice a week, during summer I generally swim twice a week and do a home strength routine on those days and go to the gym twice a week.
When the water is too cold, or if I need to change things up, I run or cycle instead of swimming.
Last time I answer one of these, someone took the time to message me and said 'don't lie you don't work out' so if people could avoid that, I'd be grateful. |

They’re just insecure individuals who try to make themselves feel better by bringing others down.
You look great for the record and I’m seriously impressed with your pole dancing skills. The core strength it requires is next level.

Push, pull, legs, push, pull, legs, rest.
It’s worked pretty well over the last few years but I’m starting to get some niggling injuries so going to switch to a 4 day bro split to get a bit more rest. |

You know, it's taken time but I'm at peace now with the fact that I'm bigger than I used to be but I'm almost 44 and I don't have the time to do the volume (or intensity) I used to do. As long as I'm enjoying what I do, that'll do for me. |

I'm feeling very slovenly as had to skip most of my routine this week because of work and feeling very depressed about it.
But in normal times, it's gym 4 times a week and weekly 5-a-side with the odd game of tennis whenever I can fit one in! Lots of dog walks too, but they never feel like exercise. |

Ahhh thank you. I'd love to do more sports as well but finding the time to fit it all in that doesn't compromise my gym routine has been tough |

Not much apart from swimming which is not consistent as it used to be. I am also going to get back on the bike again. I do lots of walking and recently started on squats to keep the bum in shape as age is creeping in.  |

20 mins walk to and from the station every day, 30 mins walk to and from other station to work and back.... Wrestling with a daft rottweiler when she's in a mood and not wanting her meds definitely builds the muscle though! |

It's a good point about the mental health. I feel so much better the days I go for a swim before work. It sets me up for the day mentally. |

Body weight exercises mainly. I don't lift heavy weights after 2 spine surgeries.
One legged squats, push ups, pull ups that kind of thing.
Cardio wise I go on a treadmill I have. I'll put ankle weights on and run at an incline so I get out of breath quicker.
Also I'll do a long all day circular hike in the middle of nowhere about once a month.
About a 13 or 14 mile one.
I'm trying to make most things from scratch these days too. Even bread.
-I have a theory that diet maybe even more important than your workout. |

That’s my problem. Other than a couple of weeks off I’ve been going 100% for 2 years. I’ll switch to the bro split for 12 weeks and lower the volume and see how I feel before going back to PPL. |

The best physiques are born from the most boring routines
I’ve never strayed from PPL as it allows me to target different groups 2-3x a week! |

I just need a few more rest days at the minute. I’ve made the best gains doing PPL but I’ve pushed a bit too hard recently and now my body is giving up on me. |

For me I believe a well balanced diet is more important.
At eight o’clock in the morning, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. At 10 o’clock, I’ll have fish. At 12 o’clock, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. At two o’clock, I’ll have fish. At four o’clock, just before I train, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. I’ll train and I’ll have me fish and I’ll come home, have some more fish with a rice cake and then have some fish before I go to bed and that’s it for the day. |

I run 2/3 times a week. I climb mountains and go scrambling when I can. I dance, stretch, press ups and pull ups every or every other day.
Sometimes I can be sitting for long periods and I'm terrible for driving to the shops! I love wine. So rather than being slim and super fit I have a balanced squooshy and active into an average fitness level.
I'd love a fitness partner to encourage me be more proactive.
