I aim for 30 to 60 minutes every morning and it varies with the season and weather. This summer, I enjoyed a bicycle ride. Rainy days, I will yoga or hiit or do a whole body weight training routine. On days I don’t feel it, i walk on the treadmill with a book for an hour.

I lift moderately heavy three days a week, about 90 minutes in the gym all the days. Nothing else, I'm a SAHM to 3 little kids, I have no time for anything else.

It either happens in the morning before 12:30 or after 4:30 in the afternoon, because no gyms offer childcare between lunch and after school, apparently.

I exercise in the morning for the same reason @honeybadger155, just getting it done. I sometimes train after work or on breaks, but only if I have to. My work schedule is going to change in September though, so this gets me thinking about changing things up.

I lift three mornings a week and jog/sprint two mornings. I might walk the dogs some afternoons but I don’t do any official exercise in the evenings. There’s a Zumba class and a yoga class I could make it to on weeknights with the right mindset and I really want to make it happen in the fall.

I do a mix of cardio (elliptical) for maybe 15 minutes max to get my heart rate up and then weight training exercises/machines a few days per week for now (e.g. lateral pull down machine, leg adductor/abductor, etc.). I’m hoping to bump it up to at least 4 days per week.

Once per week, I also work with an athletics personal trainer who mixes up my routine but targets my whole body with any of the following and more:
Pushups, squats, planks, deadlifts, assisted pull-ups, crunches, rowing, Bulgarian split squats, curls, etc.

His workout is always 30 minutes but with awesome payoff!

Workout schedule:
Sunday: self care Sundays
Monday: Leg/glutes
Tuesday:back biceps +30minute cross trainer
Wednesday:Abs/shoulders + 30mis cross trainer
Thursday: Legs/glutes (or not depending how sore/tired I am)
Friday: Chest/triceps +30min crosstrainer
Saturday: Parkrun 5km

Still figuring out weight/reps and how best to work with it on the daily

I try to go to bootcamp on Monday and Thursday evenings, and Saturday morning. It's a hard hour long mix of cardio and strength exercises. We used to run 5-6 miles together on Wednesday evenings as well, and I want to start that up again next week.
I've also started doing Rebecca Louise Youtube videos with some friends on other days, 30-40 mins. Or biking, walking with them.

I’ve been working out in the mornings so I can’t use the excuse that there’s too much for me to do at work for me to leave on time to workout. I find I’m much more accountable when I sign up for classes so I’ve been using class pass to go to a variety of classes at a discount.

I walk 10k-20k steps everyday and I weight lift 3x a week. I do strong curves. I do some walking in the morning and then more throughout the day. On gym days I go whenever it’s not crowded according to google so either 7am or 2/3pm.

I aim for at least 10k steps per day as well. I walk to and from work 4 days a week (30 mins /3k steps each way) and am on my feet most of the day at work. I do bodyweight exercises 3 days a week and have been doing so for about 6 months on my current programme ( did Strong Curves for the 3 months previous). If I can find the energy / motivation I'll do BodyCombat a couple of times a week too. Anything to enable my ice-cream/cake/Prosecco fix

Mini sidetrack @VanVanDiane , did strong curves require weights or equipment? I've been thinking about starting but not sure of the feasibility due to my very limited exercise equipment inventory.

I work 12-hour rotating shifts (meaning we rotate between day shift & night shift) so sometimes I'll work out at 2am & sometimes I'll work out at 2pm, just depends on the day. Generally though it's strength training followed by some light cardio (elliptical usually).

I swim 4 x per week for 1.5 hours on Sunday mornings and Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings 5:30-7 pm. It’s a coached group and the workouts are tough, more like interval training than steady state. I also do Pilates classes (equipment not mat) 2 x per week during the lunch hour or sometimes on Saturdays. Sometimes Pilates is on the same day as swimming and it works out fine, I’m not too sore.

I walk to and from work and to and from the pool, 20 min each way and take my dog for longer walks on weekends.

I’ve been thinking about adding in either yoga or body weight workout 2-3 times/week but I never seem to stick to an at home routine despite the convenience. I need that coach or paid class or trainer to motivate me to show up.

I’m an evening workout person. If I workout in the morning, I’m ravenous all day, and exhausted. I did it regularly for 4 months and never adjusted. So, I just stick to after work. I always have a race or other goal I’m training for, so the motivation is not an issue.
