Other Gym? Workouts? Yoga? Nothing?

[Emiaa]

Just interested in what kind of workouts people do. As I'm a trainee ballet teacher it's interesting to know these kinds of things and what you feel works for you the most.

I go to the gym every day, lift weights, cardio and loosely diet (i sometimes give in to unhealthy food), I also take ballet classes twice a week. I used to do yoga and pilates but I'm just too busy at the moment. I'd like to know what others do and maybe give me an idea to try.

45m warmup, 15m stretching, 2h martial arts techniques, 30m cooldown. 3 times a week.

That sounds good I’ve never tried martial arts

 

[Emiaa]

I used to hate the gym but I’ve gotten used to it over the past year. I never go in the weights bit cause it still scares me

I don't really have a weekly routine but.

If the whether is good and my knees/shins are up to it, I'll jog a 10k. My pace isn't that great right now, especially after having been couped up all winter. Generally at least twice a week. On days I'm not feeling my best I just walk the route.

I go to Taekwondo. It's about 1/2 an hour of stretching and 1/2 an hour to 3/4 an hour of techniques depending on how on- schedule class is. Generally on Tuesdays and Fridays, but I can go other hours of the week.

Yoga. Extremely erratically. Sometimes I'll do it every day for a week. Sometimes I'll go a month without doing one session. (Usually just through youtube or DVDs)

I usually start each day with 50 sit ups cause belly muscle helps to support my tourqed spine I earned from years of hauling schoolbooks up a hill.

Tuesdays and Thursdays I practice my Brazilian Jiu Jutsu, our workouts vary there.
Monday: 10 mile run after 15 minutes stretching
Wednesday: Legs and Core- Varying workouts for 2 hours
Friday: Upper body- Varying workouts for 2 hours
Weekend: Fucking rest my tired body

These are all so good! I've just got home from a leg day and I think I'm dead

I was walking/jogging 5 miles in the morning, lifting weights in the afternoon (alternate lower and then upper half), and then another 5 miles in the evening every day. That was until I got married and became, well, fluffy. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things but it's difficult. Lol.

 

[hadal]

I try and work out 5 days a week. I do boxing, but lift a few times a week and go on runs, 3-5 miles.

 

[side-effects]

I try to go Yoga and about five minute stretches every morning after I wake up.
It helps make my morning flow a lot easier

 

[Hailey]

Cardio at the gym and a shit ton of crunches, leg lifts, scissor kicks etc so basically cardio and core

 

[Emtahl]

Stationary bike for an hour, stretching for 30 min each day, compound lifts 3 times a week.

 

[marshmarrow]

I have weights at home but I mostly run, hike, and bike outdoors for exercise. I like being active but I have trouble sticking to a routine, I just do my best to get about 45 minutes of exercise daily, even if it's just walking and "lifting" my little 5-7 pound weights.

Marching band used to be the only thing keeping me in shape, but I mostly just exercise to keep myself feeling strong and refreshed, since I'm too busy to put a gym membership to much use.

 

[Zeraora]

Ugh, this reminds me that I really need to jump back into exercising. I always end up slacking on it during the winter.

I used to do actual workouts, but now I primarily just play tennis for exercise. It basically works out as both cardio and upper body strength training for me, and I actually have fun doing it, haha. I know some people love the gym and routine workout, but I've always just found them so monotonous. Running without a purpose is probably the worst for me. I can run miles if I'm doing a sport or something that keeps me engaged, but running for the sake of running has no appeal to me. Unless it's stairs; I love a good stair workout.

 

[Truff]

I struggle with working out for the sake of working out. I have to genuinely enjoy the thing I'm doing. I often do distance running, hiking and horseback riding...things I enjoy. I find it difficult to drag myself to the gym, although i know it's good for me.

I was about to ask if marching band counts

I've got some damn good calves
