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.

    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?

    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.
