What type of physical training do you like to do?

For example; group or individual, only cardio, only weights, both weights and cardio.  Be as specific as possible.

A small group is usually my favorite, and also works best for me. Breaking up a workout over the course of 5 days gives the body the right amount of rest it needs. Personally, I like to work cardio for 3 days, with lifting on the other two. Focusing on different muscle groups each day can maximize the weekly workout.

I like small (Platoon/Squad) group exercises. Cardio and weights, team building type training.

Follow up to the original question.

When you do physical training is it on your own time (before or after working hours) or do it during normal working hours?

I always preferred doing PLT pt when I was in, especially as the PSG cause then all the youngsters had to run at my pace, little slower, but would run us a little longer lol. Now I prefer doing my "Up, Out, Pour": Get up, get out of bed and pour my coffee! Do it every morning, gets and keeps the blood flowing all day long!! :-D

I like to workout on my own. That's my time for me. I like to lift and do cardio, most of my workout are base around the Squat, Deadlift, Bench Press, Pull up and Shoulder Press. My cardio session short and fast, between 1-4 miles in 6-7 min pace and Hill sprints.

My top 3 are: running, swimming & circuit training...weight lifting is ok but I rather go outside & work out. Best thing is to combine all 3 in a 1hr workout (2 mile indian sprint run, swim; and in between laps, full body circuit training)

You know you got a good workout when your hands are shaking and everything is tight & sore!!

I prefer to workout solo or in a small group. I like doing M/W/F weight training and T/Th I like doing TRX training followed up by a short burst of interval cardio training for 15-30min. I take Sat/Sun off to relax.

I like to start with stretching, then push ups 100 sit ups 50 and others. then either go on the road for a 2-3 mile run or tread mill if it is raining. Then finish off with weights.

I like doing individual workout I can focus on the work out instead of focusing on trying to keep up with the group. I get up early and do a 30 min cardio and 90 min weight lifting, about 4 to 5 sets of arm, legs, back, chest, and core workout depending on what day it is.

I do weightlifting with some body weight stuff 3 times a week, and try to either run, sprint, or ruck twice a week (so run and sprint one week, ruck and run another).
