My workout routine is to burn fat and gain muscle. I do cardio (running or walking at incline) until 15 minutes or 100 calories. I have an app with ab workouts on it & use that for 25 minutes, then do a butt workout for 20. I’ll throw in some machines if I feel like it but it depends on the day. what do you guys do?

    I'm currently training for a half marathon, with three runs a week. My exact run lengths vary from week to week, since I'm ramping up from a 10k, but the overall pattern is pretty consistent. Next week, for instance:
    Monday - Speed Work (6 heats of 200m sprints)
    Wednesday - Recovery Run (5k)
    Saturday - Long Run (13k)
    I'm also autistic, and I too find that running can help me block out the world for a while and destress.

    Right now I am doing 2-3x per week lifting, full body, glute focus, very modified. Also 1-2 days of cardio if I can.

    Normally though I do 4x per week lifting, 3 days full body, 1 day glutes only. Plus two days cardio.

    Mine workouts are roughly built off this. I alternate pretty frequently between load and volume though. It's not optimal but, in the interest of keeping it short, it suits my needs at the moment.
    Week 1

    Monday: Push (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps)
    Tuesday: Pull (Back, Biceps)
    Wednesday: off
    Thursday: Legs (Quads, Hamstrings, Calves, Abs)
    Friday: off
    Saturday: Push (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps)
    Sunday: Pull (Back, Biceps)

    Week 2

    Monday: off
    Tuesday: Legs (Quads, Hamstrings, Calves, Abs)
    Wednesday: off
    Thursday: Push (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps)
    Friday: Pull (Back, Biceps)
    Saturday: off
    Sunday: Legs (Quads, Hamstrings, Calves, Abs)

    For me? To still be able to throw the grandkids around (and defend myself from them :D ) for a few more years. Basically maintain what I have muscle wise, gain a little strength and endurance and stay flexible. It's working :)

    My routine is decided for me by my gym. Although I pick whether I attend a HIIT day or Lift day, all the exercises are random (to me). Lots of fat burning and lots of hard work.

    I recently fell in love with a self defense based martial art called Krav Maga. I never expected that I would love doing something like this, but here I am! Here’s my usual schedule:
    Monday: Krav class
    Tuesday: lifting
    Wednesday: Krav class
    Thursday: active rest
    Friday: lifting
    Saturday: Krav class
    Sunday: active rest (or hiking when possible)

    I try to do cardio daily first thing, usually a DVD or video of aerobics or kickboxing. I try to get to the weight room and lift heavy free weights twice per week, but summer vacation has thrown some kinks into that schedule. If I can't get to the gym, I do a video with dumbbells at home. I'm hoping to get in some swimming this summer as well.

    I row five times per week 15-45 minutes, daily walk 1-2.5 miles, strength train twice weekly, bike leisurely a few times per week. Down 30 pounds this year, probably would be more if I’d do a better job counting calories.

    I go outside and run. I run through the neighborhood, on trails, up hills and mountains and anywhere in between. I run in the sun, in the rain, in the cold, at night. I couldn’t always run and had never exercised regularly before age 38. I used to get short of breath just climbing stairs or walking around the block, that was a horrible experience that I never want to go back to. Over 5 years ago I lost weight eating less and started walking more. That slowly turned into hiking and now my passion is trail running. I occasionally ride my bike and swim but my workouts consist of 99.9% running. And I love it. I want to run forever <3

    As a lazy hedonist, I pretty much only do things I think are fun.

    It's Summer here now, so I row on water 4 days a week (weather permitting), and go to spin class 2 other days. I do less volume in Winter, because rowing machine is just not as fun as boats . . . not even close, but a li'l ol' lady's gotta stay in semi-decent condition for when on-water season rolls around again. Sometimes I throw in some biking in Summer, or some swimming or weight lifting in Winter, or generally anything else that sounds fun. I have a positive but on-again, off-again relationship with daily stretching/yoga.

    This was pretty much my workout routine through about the last 12 years of obesity, and continues to be my routine in year 3 of maintaining a healthy weight.

    I walk an average of 7 miles (14k+steps) a day. Some planned brisk walks, but a lot of it simply from walking to the gym and yoga studio, which is two trips minimum a day.

    M: Hot flow, yin, hot Pilates
    T: weight training w/ PT
    W: hot flow, yin, hot Pilates
    Th: Pilates, weight training w/PT
    F: hot flow, hot pilates
    S: hot flow, hot Pilates
    Su: rest day

    I’m trying to take up running, so am trying to squeeze that in somewhere, too. So far, it’s c2k type run/walk intervals, but hopefully will improve. Too soon to have a pattern or faith that I’ll continue, although I did go get fitted for better shoes at a running store yesterday, thinking the expense might prove motivating.

    I’d like to up the frequency of the weight training, too.

    There is a new grocery opening a bike-able two miles away, too. Can’t wait!

    I strength train 3x a week with a PT, which I really enjoy. I need to work on my cardio, but it tends to make me nauseous and I’m generally not a fan. It’s a goal of mine to work on that.
