We all have different fitness goals, but I would like to hear what your fitness routine is like to achieve those goals.

If I am being honest, it is 0 times a week for 0 minutes. Its not a lack of desire. But between raising a son, going to grad school, and working full time as a professional engineer, I already only get about 5 hours of sleep a night. There is no time for exercise, and my waist line is showing it.

I currently am working out everyday, doing a 12 mile ruck/run with a min of 45 lbs and then arms chest and abs every other day for about 1hr. Works great for me, hasn't failed me yet.

6 days a week, somewhere between 60-90 minutes, depending on my schedule. I usually alternate, say P90X M-W-F, then cardio Tu-Th-Sa. The next week, I change so I my cardio is M-W-F and P90X Tu-Th-Sa. Sounds confusing, but basically, I just exercise the part(s) that aren't sore.

Usually 45min to an hour, M-F at best, averaging 3 days a week right now due to work schedule.

I work out 5 times a week. I do kickboxing/Muay Thai on M-W-F and running and weights T-TH
I give myself the weekend for recovery. With being sick lately, I've been off my schedule but will get back on when I feel better.

I found a workout plan on bodybuilding.com I really like. I spend about 90 minutes 4x per week (45 minutes strength training 45 minutes cardio).

Long run on mondays, weights tuesday trough saturday with short runs for cardio after it. I love eating so in the holidays I'm doing 2 a day, weights in the morning, cardio in the evening. Puerto Rican food is no good for the waist line.

6 days a week - Sunday to Friday - Saturday is rest.
Abs is done every day focusing on upper, lower, back and sides of the abdominal wall. I do weighted jump rope in between sets

Sunday is one a day - usually 2 hrs very heavy lifting.

Monday through Friday - strength training in the morning and crossfit at lunch. I do a body split where I do compound one day and isolations the next

This has helped me improve aesthetically and performance wise. I supplement with a pre-workout which has creatine, and post workout which also has creative and carbs. Outside of my workout windows I only eat food, average caloric intake daily is 2500-3500 sometimes more
