Workout routine

What is everyone's normal exercise routine?
I'm in the gym weight lifting with cardio 3x week. Then I run 2ish miles the other two days.

Wendler's 531, so that's lifting on Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri.
Cardio consists of getting yard work done on the weekends.

What is HIIT?

Mike_take2

HIIT : high intensity interval training (periods of hard effort followed by short periods of rest) a common example would be sprints...sprint for 30 seconds with recovery jog for 60 seconds

That actually sounds like a really good workout. Is there anything specific you follow?

Mon: Rest day
Tue: Back/Biceps/Abs
Wed: PowerWalk, minimum 4 kilometres
Thu: Chest/Shoulders/Tricep
Fri: Rest day
Sat: Legs/Glutes/Thigh
Sunday: Long walk, minimum 1 hour

Weekdays I start the day with a 20-30 minute yoga/resistance training.
Walking to and from work (9km) 3-5 days a week (depends if I have meetings elsewhere)
Gym - a full weights round once a week and a Total Body Workout Class once week
Plus the odd hike/walk/cycle as it comes up I'd say that is on average once every 2 weeks 1-3 hours over the weekend

In summer it's 3 x week upper body & core strength training and c. 100 miles a week cycling.

In winter it's typically 3 x upper body strength training and 3 sessions of cardio of various durations, intensity and equipment. Never HIIT as duration is too short for my goals, hardly ever run as have a wonky knee and I plain don't enjoy it.

I run at least 4 times a week (usually 1 long run - 10K or more and several shorter runs in the 5 to 7K range, usually with at least one being an interval session, 1 tempo and the others slow). I've also started incorporating a couple of weights sessions and sometimes a yoga session.

Wow you guys are so active!

I just kickbox twice a week for 90mins on Monday and Wednesday. The session includes strength training and cardio. I also try and get a long walk or a pilates session in as well at the weekend.
