    Hiking, biking and yoga for me.

    I'm head over heels in love with trail running, but weights are my side piece.

    I have mine programmed for me. Usually it's some sort of powerlifting DUP style training. Sometimes I'll run a hypertrophy block. Depends on current goals. No cardio.

    P90X mostly, mountain bike on weekends when it's not pouring out.

    Walking (will eventually start running again), weightlifting, dancing, and some calisthenics.

    Cycling whenever I can. Lots of walks throughout the day. Climbing stairs on breaks at the office. Some weightlifting. The occasional visit to the gym where I attend a spinning class or run on the treadmill and using the rowing machine. Hiking now and then. Canoeing once in a while. Swimming occasionally.

    Just generally being active just about every day. :)

    I'm new to this.. on day two only. Last night I had so much fun with exercise, my 7 year old son "trained" me on the trampoline in our backyard. He had me doing all kinds of silly jumps and turns in reps of 30. I ended it with a short walk and lunges. Great way to spend time together, exercise and show him the importance of both! :)

    Rowing on water is the main motivator: I usually row 4 days a week in season (we have Winter; my river gets crunchy). All year, 2 spin classes weekly. A little weight training, couple times a week right now, maybe more in off season. Off-season: Rowing machine, a little swimming, but less total volume. In season, random bike rides & walks on top of rowing.

    But I'm a li'l ol' lady (61) and retired, which makes it easy to fit stuff in . . . though I did most of this, minus spin, plus aerobics, while working . . . .

    I try and mix it up. Run 2-3 days, karate (my daughter made black belt, and I promised her I'd sign up when she made bb), strength training 2-3 days, hiking when I can, tennis once my elbow is healed. Fitness blender.com is a great site for free workouts that have strength, cardio, etc

    A mixture of cycling (indoor training and long distance rides outdoors) and strength training (mostly upper body).

    A weird upper/lower, strength/cardio split if you like. :smiley:

    Pool exercise, 60 to 90 mins of jogging, various pool exercises, to a exercise cd. It is fun and relaxing at same time. We try to do it at least 6 days at week at 9am. then we walk around a lake for about 1 mile at 7am or earlier. We live in Florida so it gets hot fast.

    I mix it up. Early on I did a lot of Urban Rebounding but the calorie burn isn't quite what it used to be now that I am at maintenance. I do 30 minutes of kundalini yoga every day. Other than that...
    • Lots of MMA/kickboxing workouts with different instructors
    • Focus T25 and Insanity (not following the programs, just doing workouts a couple of times a week)
    • Kettlebell workouts with different instructors
    • Sometimes step aerobics if my knees are feeling up to it
    • And jogging on my treadmill if I want some more steps
    • Various other DVDs (e.g., The Firm) if the mood strikes

    HipHop Abs and Brazillian Butt Lift for the win! Beachbody videos are so fun!

    A variety of cardio and strength, all over the place. I do 2-3 arms/abs days, 2/3 leg days per week, I do 20-30 mins of cardio every day usually the rower in the morning and then I'll run or bike in the evening if I'm not skating.

    Question: For those that do P90X, how do you input the workouts?

    It's annoying to have to post each workout individually.

    Crossfit, DVRT & trail running.

    It's not really a 'program' but I have a Total Gym for using when the weather outside is not nice. I love it.

    But most of my exercise is outside. Hiking, gardening, yard work, basketball, etc.

    I mostly cycle. I lift a couple days per week...I have a trainer who helps me with my programming. I do a body weight circuit once per week. I do a little hiking or hit the climbing gym, yoga, swimming, etc on recovery days.

    When I was doing P90X, I used this website to calculate my burn and then manually added it to my exercises in MFP.
