    My routine has changed because my personal goals have changed over the last 30 days, where I have cut cardio and increased weights.

    5x week lifting for 30 minutes per day

    I take heavy bag twice per week for a total of 120 minutes

    and I run for an hour on Saturdays or Sunday.

    It's all about your goals.

    Don't consider myself a gym rat; but I have a crazy work schedule so I only lift 3 days a week and I'm in and out in under 60 minutes. I've lifted for years, done all the splits and what works for me and my goals is the upper/lower split. I do upper twice a week with 3-4 days between sessions and lower once a week bc I run/sprint a good amount. I also switch my leg routines where one week is very heavy w/low reps and one week is higher weight/higher reps.

    Focusing on running at the moment so that 3 days a week, elliptical 2 days a week and lifting maybe 2-3 times. Medium weight and reps and focusing mainly on upper body for now.

    What does a typical day/week look for you at the gym? How much cardio? Strength training? Duration?

    Starting up tomorrow and I just want to know what others workouts look like!:)

    First of all, you should determine some more specific goals...without them, you'll just kind of wander around from machine to machine and/or weight to weight and accomplish not much.

    Here's a typical week for me:

    Monday - HIIT (sometimes at the gym, sometimes at the park near my work)
    Tuesday - Starting Strength (weight room ` 30-45 minutes)
    Wednesday - 30 minute jog (outdoors)
    Thursday - Starting Strength (weight room ~ 30-45 minutes)
    Friday - HIIT
    Saturday - Starting Strength (weight room ` 30-45 minutes)...maybe light cardio afterwards...in the summer I will likely go for a swim or something.
    Sunday - OFF

    I plan to start Wendler's program too after I've finished cutting to 10% BF (I plan to run a slight - ~250 kCal - surplus while doing his program for approximately 3-4 months. Then cut again while maintaining. I currently train 6 days a week on a 3 day split (pushing one day, pulling the next, legs + abs on the third).
