Boy - good question for me - better is what do you do when you fall off the wagon and cannot seem to get going again. I usually start back walking. Then add little stuff. I am in a tough spot right now as I am awaiting my second shoulder replacement. Pain prohibits some of my activity. So for now - I am going to focus on the walking - even when I really don't want to do it. I need a buddy!!

My workout routine is boring
but it's a must do for me to get my steps in. I getup around 5:15 each morning and walk on the treadmill for a minimum of 30 to 45 minutes M-F. Weekends I'm usually busy enough to get the steps in and try to work in some stretching. 2 -

Do you happen to have a fitbit? I could be a virtual walking buddy. (it would keep me walking too)1 -
I just found a book called "Fitness Hacks for Over 50" by K. Aleisha Fetters It has lots of little things (divided into a minimum of Basic Types, such a flexibility, balance, strength, endurance) to pick a choose from. I am looking to get a personal copy.2

Such a great opener Donna — thank you and thanks to everyone who has or will respond ☺️ @donna25trinitydonna25trinity wrote: »Let's talk about work out routines.... What does your week look like? How do you ensure that you do not get bored and stay engaged and motivated? Xo
My work out week looks different depending on the season. On Sunday we will hit the six month “anniversary” of icy, snowy conditions. I hope that the blizzard this past week is our last of the “winter” season. Right now we have abundant wet heavy snow making the clearing, even of the car, a workout in itself. 😵💫
I do weight lifting/training twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) at the gym at my doctor’s where I have the support of a physiologist to help with adaptations.
Normally, I also do two long walks a week on the treadmill when it is snowy/icy/slippery outside. I keep myself “amused” on the “dreadmill” by listening to audiobooks and/or watching YouTube walking videos where I can feel like I am somewhere sunny and warm. ☀️🏖️🌊 Hawaii oceanside walks are my favourite. For the past six weeks I have done less of this because of some persistent pain issues. Instead, I have been doing numerous shorter walks each day and have added yoga, core, and Pilates to my workout times.
I also swim and water jog, which I love as the fused ankle means no more running or jumping on land. I have been going less than once a week in the past few months as my schedule and the very full event schedule at the large indoor pool complex have not been compatible.
I cannot wait until the outdoor pools open for the season as I use them to swim lengths and water jog 4-6 times a week. In addition, I do longer and faster outdoor walks when we have warmer (than freezing) weather and no ice on the ground. The pups love these long walks. I want to get back to golfing and biking again this summer, and some of the conditioning in the gym is to help prepare for this. Finally, I started to amend soil and landscape quite a large front and back yard at our home two years ago and hauling soil, compost, mulch, and water have kept me very physically active, so I look forward to that again this summer.
I use an Apple Watch and it really helps me with motivation and engagement. When I first got it I took advantage of the free 3 month access to Apple Fitness. I tried out lots of different workouts and found I really enjoyed some of them! Once the three months was up it was summer and outdoor walking, swimming, and gardening kept me very busy.1 -
Yes, yes and yes
My routine is pretty consistent. Walking every morning followed by a short yoga workout. I aim to do a weight workout twice a week and a long distance walk on weekends. I am also working on core workouts and generally fit in bits and pieces of exercise when possible. I consistently remind myself of the 'why' to keep myself motivated.1 -

My Apple Watch sent a message saying I’d need to do a 30 minute workout for an Earth Day Badge. So I did an Apple Fitness Mixed Cardio workout. Then realized that Earth Day is tomorrow (April 22) 🙄🤦♀️
Tracked it all and under base (1400). I start a new medication tonight which must be taken on an empty stomach (they suggest 4 hours after eating). I think I have officially found a way to stop nighttime snacking. 😜🥳

My workout routine is mostly walking. I do not get bored with that because I have a large basement set up with large TV and YouTube to entertain me when I do not feel like going outside. I prefer walking outside when the weather is nice but I either listen to podcasts, YouTube or Netflix to keep me from getting bored. Normally every other day I go to swim and then sit in the sauna at the YMCA, reading my Kindle. I do not get bored when I can read or listen to interesting new things. To mix things up on days when I feel like something more stimulating, I also sometimes do Zumba or play pickleball (also at the Y). I enjoy exercise.

Loved reading all ur workouts!
I was doing 3 days jogging and 3 days weights but find my mood is better wen I do 5 days jogging and 3 days weights. It means shorter jogs to cram it in but worth it as the outdoor jogging soothes my soul.... With the weights I found I wasn't pushing myself so this week I started doing random weight sessions from youtube. I hve felt sore after so the change is def working!!! Xo1 -

I do a variety of YouTube videos to keep me from getting bored. I do low impact aerobics daily, strength training with light weights 2-3x per week, and either pilates or yoga 1-2X per week. I also enjoy walking outdoors when the weather cooperates and working in the yard/garden during the summer. I'm also hoping to ride my bike more often this summer.
I found a fitness instructor who was posting her classes on YouTube during Covid that I especially enjoy. She hadn't posted anything new since the Covid shutdown but I learned that she offers live classes over Zoom 2x per week as well a subscription service to access her recorded sessions. I signed up for her subscription service at a very reasonable cost and she sent me the links to google drive folders where she has stored 2 years worth of recorded videos. 2 recorded classes per week for 2 years, I don't think I'll ever get bored with access to so many sessions!!

Apr 21 Logged, over, no exercise.
I don't really have a workout routine. Once our pool is open, that becomes my daily exercise. Reading through these posts has made me realize I could really use a routine. Idk, I'm always striving to keep my energy up, cook & eat healthily, keep the house tidy and clean, ensure I look professional for work (takes time for hair washed, styled, make up on, clothes steamed/ironed, plus the commute time). Maybe it's my age and insomnia, but when dinner's done and the kitchen's clean, I'm pretty much done for the night. I like when the pool's open because my husband and I head outside and swim for a minimum 30 minutes each night. When I used to work at home, we'd be in the pool for @ 90 minutes each night. Unfortunately I work 8-5 now. I should make myself utilize my lunch hour for a workout. I tend to run errands or sit at my desk and either work through it or read online news.2
