    I don't work out really, I try to stay active during the day and let the nutrition do the majority of the work.

    I park 10 mins walk from the school on the run so we both get some exercise.

    If I get time for a coastal walk I take that, I love walking and can do many miles on some water, cheese and nuts :)

    Today I've been working in the house yard clearing trees and mowing so this has been my main activity.

    No routine for me, I do some press-ups when I feel like it but don't push it if I just don't feel in the mood ...

    Right now, I'm taking advantage of the pool. I walk, jog and use water weights and resistance gloves. that'll all change in September and i'll be back to the elliptical machine and walking.

    My perfect week is:

    Monday - Walk dog 20 mins, 10 min walk warmup on the track, 50 mins weight lifting, 30 mins elliptical (no hands, no program)
    Tuesday - Walk dog 20 mins, 10 min walk warmup on the track, 30 mins elliptical (variable program, moving arm posts)
    Wednesday - Walk dog 20 mins, 10 min walk warmup on the track, 50 mins weight lifting, 30 mins elliptical (no hands, no program)
    Thursday - Walk dog 20 mins, 10 min walk warmup on the track, 30 mins elliptical (variable program, moving arm posts)
    Friday - Walk dog 20 mins, 10 min walk in pool, 30 min swim laps, 10 min walk in pool
    Saturday - Walk dog 20 mins, housework
    Sunday - off

    I'm only able to fit that whole schedule in every other week or so. Right now I miss dog walks because of the heat and I don't lift twice a week because I gotta be home to listen to the baseball game. But otherwise, I stay pretty true to the schedule.

    I'm actually finding I have more energy to workout than I thought I would!!!. I ran 1 mile yesterday. I hope to slowly work my way back up to 3. :-).

    I weight lift as well. Happy to see so many of you are able to perform so well on keto. Gives me hope! LOL

    I don't necessarily have a set routine, but I try for weight training 2 times a week and it usually takes anywhere from 20-45 minutes.
    Lots of compound exercises (pushups, squats, dips, lunges, pullups, rows, deadlifts, pullovers, clean & press, kettlebell swings, kettlebell snatches, etc), since I like to be more efficient with my time.

    Cardio, I do some endurance runs (usually not more than 2-3 miles and usually only once a week, if that) and sprint work. Endurance runs usually 25-30 minutes, 35 if I do 5k. Sprint /agility work (skipping, sprinting drills, side shuffles, etc) anywhere from 20-40 minutes (a lot of resting, ha!).

    Cross-training I use the independent stair machine or occasionally swim. Usually only a half hour.

    I walk at lunch and walk my dog in the evenings, when it's not too hot or raining (though, usually too hot, we're in a draught).

    I also play rugby, so when our fall season starts next week it's 2 practices a week + games on Saturdays, or 3 practices a week if no game sometimes. More sprint work! This is why I'm not into endurance running, everything I do is sprinting.

    Low-carb does affect my lifting and power abilities, I don't do induction-level low-carb. My activity level is too high right now. After rugby starts again, I can carb cycle and have some moderate carb days (bananas, sweet potatoes, or rice a few days a week).
