    I try to do outside stuff, golf, cycling on the trail, cutting firewood, etc. But when the weather doesn't cooperate and I can no longer stand the "dreadmill" -

    I use FITNESSBLENDER on You Tube.

    They have hundreds of free workout videos. Total body, HIIT, kickboxing, core, etc., etc. When I travel - I always take my iPad - and FitnessBlender is available anywhere.

    Running is my main thing. Some resistance training, swimming, stretching and Pilates to support that.

    I usually cycle about 5 days per week which usually amounts to 60-80 miles per week depending. I lift 3x per week usually. I sometimes forgo riding on the weekends to play some golf or skiing in the winter or a nice day hike in the mountains or something. In the summer I will sometimes opt for a good swim in lieu of my riding.

    2-3 days of weight training, 1 day of pull ups/chin ups. 2-3 days of H.I.T cardio. Playing with my son outside everyday, for he and his mother are the reason I do it in the first place.

    Right now, I'm super out of shape...so I am just walking on the treadmill a lot for cardio. I also do a little bit of light weight training with my husband's weight machine a couple of days a week, but I haven't gotten serious about it yet.

    I'm at the beginning of my journey, so for now I'm just doing strength training 3x a week in my living room and focusing on diet. In the past when I've tried to take on everything at once it's led to me giving up because it's all so overwhelming. I do walk my dog twice a day for about 2-3 miles and attend a very gentle, restorative yoga class once a week. It's very doable.

    After two months, or after I plateau (whichever comes first) I will start doing Masters swimming with a team, and perhaps work up to short runs with my dog, in addition to continuing strength training.

    In the past, exercise that's worked well for me is Bikram yoga (and no I don't necessarily suggest it - I have lots of mixed feelings - but it does give your body a kick in the butt and you start to look better immediately), so I might go back to that when I get to 200 pounds or less. I also want to join a local row gym, because I used to be really good at it and I like it (right now my belly makes me look ridiculous when I do it).

    To be honest I'm really interested in workouts that involve my dog or at least don't require me to leave him at home alone. Because then I still have to exercise him again when I get back.

    Little bit of everything. Read an article on Nerdfitness.com about being antifragile and since I have been trying to incorporate new movements, rep schemes, and activities.

    Average around 6 days a week (accounting for being sick, gym being closed and the occasional hangover):
    Day 1 - Arms
    Day 2 - Legs
    Day 3 - Shoulders
    Day 4 - Chest/Back
    Roughly 45 minutes a session.
    Everyday is Cardio - 35 minutes on the bike.
    Unless it is pouring, I walk the 2km each way.
