    I don't talk fitness stuff with family and friends. I will report on any big goals to my husband. I see two different personal trainers and we are all total fitness nerds, so they are ideal for chatting to.

    I'm on my C2 rower (almost) at home everyday: at least 5-10km/day.

    Hrs vary but most often row in the evening but sometimes spread the workouts over the day (like today) when I rowed 15km (5km in the morning, afternoon and evening).

    That's the advantage of working out at home. No travel time and all the equipment is available to me 24/7.

    Currently at 1.2M meters for the year (May-Apr) w/4.5 months to go. Should top 2M meters for the year.

    Haven't been doing much else lately but I consider everything else (like lifting in the garage, crossfit exercises in the backyard and walking/hiking here and there extra.

    An average week would be about 7hrs / 110 miles of cycling and 3 sessions of upper body weights (about an hour) but due to the weather and sporadic long distance rides my weeks are very variable volume too. Lowest weekly mileage c. 25 miles and highest c. 180 miles.

    As 2020 hasn't been a normal year my weight training has been interrupted by two periods of gym closures and my cycling has been limited to home-to-home or car-to-car rides with maximum of about 100km/4hrs. Normally I'd do a couple of 100 mile rides but my events were cancelled.

    Jump rope hiit with body weight exercises about 4x a week and a straight jump rope workout about once a week. The workouts can last from 15 to 45 minutes.
    Pilates 1-2x a week for at least a half hour to an hour.
    I have this 30 day core challenge on rotation, so I’ll get about a minute of core work done daily.
    I workout anytime between mid-morning to 4pm, depending on how busy I am with work. I also don’t have scheduled rest days. I work out when I feel like it, but looking at what’s logged in my app, I workout a full week, then take two days off the following week.

    I lift 3x' s per week- about 45 minute sessions with ten minutes of cardio as a warm up.
    Once a week i do a 5K.

    I'm 43. In my 30's I did weights 4 x's per week for at least an hour plus ten minutes or more of cardio; and running 5 miles once a week.

    I don't count things like hikes as work outs... but every other week I try to go for a decent hike. That could be anywhere between three and six hours.

    Every other day I try to get in a lifting session (been doing stronglifts) and then on the weekend I've been trying to get in a 30min HIIT boxing session.

    As my lifts get heavier, it takes longer to complete, so the lifts are around 1.5 hrs

    I've been following her since May. I don't always do her workouts every day, but I have been lately since I'm not in the gym any more.

    4 weekdays 4:00 - 6:00am.
    Saturday’s 9:00 -11:00.
    The only exception is when my body is telling me to add another rest day.

    6 days a week, one body part per day. Usually only 30-40 minutes lifting. Then an hour of walking/run sprints. I walk 7 days a week though.

    Since I'm newer to this commitment of fitness and activity, I really enjoy reading this thread to see how people use their time and energy. Side question: do your non-exercising friends and family have little interest in listening to your fitness schedules and goals?

    I learned a long time ago that my fitness and nutrition goals were of little interest to others. When I first started and was losing weight and improving my fitness, I was very excited about the whole thing and the whole process and I talked about it way too much...not only were people uninterested, it was annoying and that started to show pretty quickly...so I just stopped talking about it.

    You may find as time goes on that you accumulate more active and health/fitness minded friends. I've been trying to live the good life as much as possible now for 8 years and I'd say the vast majority of my friends now are active and health oriented people. Many of my old friendships have either dissolved and/or aren't as prominent in my life as they once were. Part of that is that I'd rather meet up with a group and cycle to Bike In Coffee on a Sunday morning...or meet up with some peeps in the mountains for some mountain biking or a hike than going to the sports bar to drink beer and watch football all day...another part is that I simply have different family obligations than I did a decade ago, and many of those old timer friends remain single and/or they don't have kids.

    I do my strength training which usually lasts 45mins to 1hr then do an hour of just dance on my switch. So roughly generally 1hr 45mins-2hrs four days a week. I also do an additional 5th day of only playing just dance for an hour.

    😭 It probably doesn't sound like much but it's helped me keep active, in shape and mentally sane through this pandemic.

    I often workout for 1 hour and 5 days a week. I try to cover all the exercises in 5 days.
