What is your workout routine?

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?

Depends on the day and what my PT has planned. I have 5x sessions with her a week. Mostly hiit, with some bodyweight and trx work and some running.
Then I strength train 3xweek, I generally run the mile to the gym and then do my lifting for 30-60mins.
Once or twice a week I do a cardio blast, 30-60 minutes of high intensity intervals on different cardio machines. Could be as simple as an interval run on the treadmill, or a more complicated circuit involving 5 or 6 exercises and different pieces of equipment.
Then I run, along with lifting, running is my passion. And I run at least a mile a day and am currently training for a half marathon so my long runs are up to 10miles. Plus I do my regular sprint training with my PT, along with hill work.
Finally I go to 10 classes a week, between 1 and 3 a day depending on day.
But I'm a stay at home mum and am autistic, exercise is my way of dealing with the world.
So.
Monday am : PT, 3 mile run, squats and shoulder press
Monday pm : tabata and barbell
Tuesday am : PT (usually a stair workout), 1 mile run, 45min zumba
Tuesday pm : 45min Insanity, 50min Boxercise
Wednesday am : PT (6am sprints), long run (if weather is bad then a cardio blast to cross train)
Wednesday pm : 45min piyo
Thursday am : PT (normally a challenge or amrap). 1 mile run to gym, benching
Thursday pm : 45 min circuits
Friday am : PT, 1mile warm up run, deadlifts, 45min total body conditioning.
Friday pm : rest
Saturday am : 3-4.5 mile run to bootcamp. 60min bootcamp
Saturday pm : rest
Sunday : 1-8mile run5 -
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.2 -
Wow! you guys do a lot of hard work throughout the week. I love hearing when other people have tough routines and stick to their plan. Great job guys keep up the good work! Firef1y72 do you have any goals you’re working up to or just maintaining where you’re at? Grimendale I hope you reach your goals and kick the marathons butt!0

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.1 -
I lift heavy *kitten* five days a week.2

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)

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.1

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)2 -
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.1

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.1

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

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!2 -
As an aside, I'll point out that on a thread like this, replies tend to skew toward folks who've been working out for quite a while, or otherwise have a routine they're really proud of.
Readers who are just getting started with exercise shouldn't assume that if they're doing less, it's not as valuable. Everyone started somewhere! I started getting more active slowly and pretty gently around 17 years ago at age 46, and increased activity gradually. First step was gentle yoga classes 2-3 times a week.
Everyone should be proud of challenging themselves physically and improving their fitness, whatever that looks like, beginner to elite.
It's great when we see true beginners post on threads like this, as it helps people who're not sure how to get started see where the on-ramp is.7 -

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.1

Kettlebell complexes, pull-ups and chin-ups (volume BW and weighted), running and walking. On my inactive list, burpees, isometrics and resistance bands.1

A mix of things I enjoy: I do weight training at the gym a couple of times each week, and then I just do whatever inspires me each day - trail running, mountain biking, hiking in the hills...I do something active every day of the week.0
) for a few more years. Basically maintain what I have muscle wise, gain a little strength and endurance and stay flexible. It's working
