Run four miles in the dry sand on the beach 5 days a week. Lift weights 3 times a week.

I’ve been going pretty much everyday since I started working remotely. I’ve lost ten pounds in just over a month, but most of that is eating far fewer calories.

7 days a week.
Day 1: Chest and abs
Day 2: Shoulders and abs
Day 3: Biceps, Triceps, and abs
Day 4: Back and abs
Day 5: Legs and abs
Repeat.
I am a heavy weight, low rep guy. Pushing to muscle failure on the last rep, usually between 4-10 reps on most exercises.
2 sets per exercise, usually around 12-16 total working sets per day. Most work outs take around 75-90 minutes in duration.
I take longer than normal breaks between sets, letting my heart rate return to near normal before undertaking the next set or exercise.
No cardio.
Turning 40 was when I light the fire. I have been steady at this pace for over 4 years now. Christmas morning, rainy Sundays, while on vacation, it doesn’t matter. You have to commit to it.
There are no shortcuts or secrets. You have to commit to the lifestyle and stay with it for years before you see good results, but they will come. You cannot hide effort.

That’s cool
We have a trail called 315, 316 and a few other trails about a mile hike through and attached subdivision. We also do thumb butte about 4 times per week - a gain of about 1100 feet depending on what trails you take.
We moved from La to Prescott Az last summer and our outdoor workouts have dramatically increased.
We are blessed.

2-3 times a week is fine. Consistency is what matters. I aim for 6 days a week, don't always hit it.
Posted on 6/17/26 at 7:43 pm to VolsOut4Harambe
It depends on what the upcoming goals are. I've done as much as 6x a week in the past year, and as little as zero due to a minor soft tissue injury I wanted to fully heal.
Normally I'm trying to get 5x (M-F, off S, S) and I'm following one of the PPSA programs. I woke up feeling terrible and didn't want to lift feeling like that so I took the day off and will finish the last 3 lifts this week on Thursday, Friday Saturday. I'm also training jiujitsu 2-3 times a week and sometimes I have to give the body a rest. I'm 43 for context.

Thanks for sharing
I do similar workouts
When I see the young guys pushing the big weights, I say to myself I remember those days.
Atleast I’m hitting the gym

Resistance training 3 days a week. Cardio 2 days a week.

six sometimes 7 days a week. Have a modified split that I have created over the years. 4-day cycle repeat on the 5th day rest on the 9th day and repeat. You should be able to hit each body part two times a week which is about optimum for muscle growth, strength and maximizing body fat loss

If healthy 5 days a week. If not, then I adjust accordingly.

2.5 hours on an elliptical would send me into a psychotic episode. There isn't a good enough book or podcast that could get me through that multiple times a week. Theres gotta be a better balance of time and intensity of a cardio workout to get the same results as that?
Posted on 6/22/26 at 7:57 pm to VolsOut4Harambe
3 days & a few rounds of golf a week
Posted on 6/29/26 at 10:05 am to VolsOut4Harambe
4-5 days a week. M-F only. On year 32. Consistently. Longest missed was 2.5 months broken ankle.

I used to work out 6 days/week and was in great shape. Now I use the excuse of marriage and kids, but really it’s just lack of discipline. I probably work out 2-3x/week with little structure.
I keep coming back to this board to find the passion i used to have.

2-3 days weightlifting and 2-3 days bike riding so probably 5 days average.

3 weight training sessions per week. Push, legs, pull but add in extra work fkr lagging body parts on certain days in addition to the scheduled lifts. Lifting sessions go 45 mins to an hour.
Walk 6 days a week typically 45 mins to 75 minutes each time. 1 of my walk days I do hard sprint intervals.
Diet locked in is the biggest focus right now.
