Squat/Bench/OHP once or twice a week. Farmers walk once or twice a week. Row twice a week.

Depending on what's going on that week I may not get to all of it, but that's the goal.

I go when I can. Generally 5 days a week at least. I don’t just have regular off days as they just happen on their own so I just keep it going until one of them naturally hits. The split:

Chest/tris
Back/Bi
Shoulders/Traps
Legs
Start back at the top

I try to throw in some incline walking before and after whenever I can.

Not as much as I should, but more than most guys my age.

Does pickleball 5 times a week count?

Sure I’d get some strange looks jumping out my excavator or skid steer and start doing push ups every hour!!! hahahaha

I have no idea how to work out but lift some old cement weights with the plastic coating in my shed 2-3 times a week and I try to watch what I eat. I can not put down the booze on the weekends so I basically workout to not look like a total slob.

3-4x a week at the gym, usually an hour from 5:30-6:30am. will jog about a 9-930 mile and then do a little lifting for upper body stuff. cant outwork a bad diet so changing that too. Fingers crossed we can lower this dang cholesterol.

Everyday, alternate cardio which is fast walking for 3-5 miles (never have been a runner) or biking, and P90 the next day, yes that old work out, that combo of yoga and hand weights still works. I wake up at 6 and work out in the morning.

Usually we go to the gym 3 to 5 nights a week. I focus on cardio, so I do the elliptical for 60 minutes.

Twice a day. Cardio/run in the morning. Lifting at lunch or in the afternoon.

Prob 2-3 days a week where I may only do one or the other. I can’t remember the last day I did nothing at all.

Gym 3x a week. Usually MWF, cardio at home Tuesday and Thursday for sure. Other days if I feel like it. Saturday morning I usually go on a little run and a home workout. Cardio has been jump rope lately. I just enjoy it better than going run.

I'm 84 so I can't do strenuous exercises. No pushups or pull ups.

About three nights a week I do stretching/flexing exercises, with my arms/shoulders.
I was having trouble turning my head, when approaching an intersection, while driving. Extreme pain. So I decided to endure the pain and turn my head from side to side about thirty times, a couple times a week. It worked.
I do knee bends and can still jump rope. I still walk , a couple miles 2-3 times a week, when the weather is good

I do strength training at the gym 4-6 times a week. My workout takes 1.5 hours.

In addition, I do aerobic / anaerobic exercise for 1 hour 4 times a week (basically ever other day).

To do this i either:
1. Hike a 4 mile trail that's 5 mins from my house, 600' of elevation gain.
2. Mountain bike for over an hour, > 1,000 feet of elevation gain.

I walk / hike on average 7.5 miles / day.

I'm 64 and retired so I have time for this. No arthritis or joint pain to complain about.

I am in afib full time, saw the cardiologist last week for the first time in two years (i'm on no meds, just baby aspirin). He looks at the above, my height / weight, heartrate and BP and says - "Well, there's nothing I can do to improve your life. See you in two years".

hiking


There is a 5 mile mountain trail about 10 miles from my house I will sometimes do on the weekends with a backpack on. It's not the best hiking by any stretch but the elevation gain isn't bad.
