What is your best exercise routine? I'm looking to get new ideas on different exercise routines instead of my usual ab-then-cardio routine.

I don't have a routine... I just do activities I enjoy. I'm currently working through c25k, I swim, I sometimes do Zumba, I walk, etc.
Find something you enjoy and do that!0 -

I have no routine either, probably a bad thing.
Currently i'm just doing whatever things I like. Bodycombat class 2-3 times a week. HIIT 3 times a week. Some leg press. Interested to add weight training, but still haven't learn proper form.
My triceps, shoulder and chest muscle are my weakest area I think. Not being trained.0 -
I do strength training of mostly body resistance 2-3 times per week and run 5 days per week. Don't be afraid to try different stuff out, giving each a fair amount of time to see what you really like. I started C25K about 2 years ago. Hated it the first 2 weeks and have been addicted to running ever since.

One thing that really helps here is developing fitness goals that are actually independent of burning calories or weight loss or whatever. Actual fitness goals will go a long way in directing you.
I'm an endurance cyclist and I dabble in cyclocross for a fun change of pace in the fall. So in that regard, I spend a lot of time on my bike logging miles. I also lift...usually 3x per week, but my lifting really depends on where I'm at seasonally. For example, the winter is when I really focus my energies on the weight room and I do more aggressive lifting routines...it's cold and weather isn't always conducive to getting out on the bike...as cycling goes in the winter, my only goal is really to maintain a reasonable cardiovascular base.
As I get into spring I start ratcheting up my mileage so while I may still lift a few days per week, I do so differently than when my primary focus is weight training...my programming isn't as aggressive in order that I can spare my body for riding...when I'm in season and participating in events and my mileage is pretty high, I usually only lift a couple days per week and my focus shifts more towards muscular endurance and speed work...so light weight in the 15ish rep range.0 -
My exercise routine is "move". I'm not too fussy about the details. I like yoga and walking and swimming and boot camp classes and dancing. I like to try things.
I do make an effort to include resistance training, but luckily I enjoy that too.0 -
I lift at the gym approximately every other day, and on the "between" days I do cardio. 1-2 rest days per week. For cardio I'll sometimes take a spin class. Every Thursday night I do a 5.5 mile hike with elevation. Sometimes a HIIT class at the gym. This time of year, several weekend trips away to backcountry ski.0

My routine varies a lot (different reps and sets) especially how heavy I can go with Dumbbells, barbells, and machines. I lift weights 6 times per week, and I do cardio every morning. My cardio consist of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) 3 times a week and the rest is Low intensity cardio. I only have one rest day.0

Mondays: Pilates then 30 min treadmill
Tu/Th: Pumped then 1 hr walking
Wednesdays: Step aerobics then 30 min treadmill
On the weekends, I try to do 30 minutes on the treadmill.
On the treadmill, I do 5 min warm up, 17 min run (5-5.5), 5 min walk incline and 5 min cool down. My goal is to do 30 min run on treadmill.
