what's your workout routine?

[Ditz]

so recently ive been trying to switch up my workouts because i wanna make a little more progress and im curious to know your routines and maybe even diet habits, i recently went vegan and im pretty excited to see some more (hopefully positive) changes in my body

 

[kiwi-strawberry]

my workout routine is moderately intense, and it's been perfected a lot over the years. it goes something like this: sit at my computer and eat junk food all day.

lmao just kidding, but i'll admit, i do that sometimes when i'm feeling down. i don't have an actual, set workout routine, because i'm always on my feet. our family runs a hobby farm, which has 45 animals, counting our dog and snapping turtle. (23 chickens, 3 turkeys, 2 guinea fowl, 5 goats, 2 pigs, 5 ducks, 1 dog, 1 turtle, and 3 bunnies) Because there are so many animals, and many of them are babies/are still very young, they require constant attention, which means tons of trips back and fourth to get food, water, clean out food containers/houses/pens, and etc., so really it's a constant effort. Not only do I get lots of exercise, but it also means happy, friendly animals!

also, on an unrelated side note, your signature is my religion. i love it.

I have PCOS so in order for me stay at my healthy weight it requires exercise, but the exercise can not be too much of a stressor on my body due the hormone imbalance. I take a lot of walks or if I'm sitting around bored, I'll get up and go walk around the mall for hours. The only typical normal work outs I do is strength training. It's great because it's not a stress inducer like cardio and it's just overall really great to build muscle and help your metabolism. However I came from a hardcore workout mindset, but with PCOS I was gaining weight no matter how hard I worked out or how healthy my diet was. Having come from that mindset and LOVING a hard intense workout, I do incorporate a couple HIIT workouts. Just a couple 15-20 minutes workouts a week.

If you haven't tried HIIT or read anything about it I highly suggest it. It's amazing and effective. It's not meant to be done everyday but it's such a fun great way to switch things up. And what's great is you can incorporate strength training into those workouts as well.

As far as diet goes, I don't have a strict vegetarian/vegan diet. I did give up eating meat but I can't quit cheese lol I don't stick to one diet I just feed my body good things. I don't limit myself or take anything away. I know that if I want to eat chicken nuggets I can, I just choose not to. The restrictions are a total mental thing with me. If you tell me I can't have it, I'll show you that I can. So I just don't stick to one diet. If it's a Friday night and I don't feel like doing anything and ordering a pizza, I will. I've learned it's okay to treat yourself.

I eat a lot of plant based things though - I snack on lots of veggies and some fruits. I love salads and have one at work for lunch every day and it's still not old yet. I make vegan tacos, vegan bbq, veggie fajitas, veggie burgers occasionally. I eat a lot of plant based things. I love lots of whole grains but I keep my carb count very low due to the PCOS. Veggie wraps are another favorite of mine. And if I stick to anything at all it's my water intake. I have coffee in the morning and then it's water all day and night. I quit drinking alcohol and gave up the sodas. Although I will say every once in a while after a long stressful day I'll stop and get a small coke from somewhere as a treat.

I hope your vegan changes benefit you in great way!!! It feels so great to give your body healthy things and to treat it well. Try HIIT or change up your workout locations or switch up your exercises altogether. If you're a cardio fan switch up machines and incorporate some weights. Take workout classes if you can! The time passes by quicker and it's nice to be around others who share a common goal. Yoga is a great one!

I do HIIT 2x a week. There was a point I was doing it 7 days but eventually I found out it was really bad and I should give my body a break.

6 months ago I stopped working out, as I was going through a depressive episode and didn't even feel up to getting up and showering--as a result, I've gained 15 pounds.

So, I've decided to start eating plant based again. (I was a vegetarian before, I'm like you and can't get quite enough of cheese. It's something I can't resist.) Also started working out again. Doing beginner things, 20-30 minutes cardio, trying some weights again. However I've found that while I'm considered a beginner again doing 'beginner' HIIT helps me the most for building stamina and it's just a great place to start. It's fun, and some of them are only around 30 minutes. I like Fitness Blender.
I love yoga, I'll probably start going to a heated yoga class again soon. I've even considered a boot camp class. (I just wanna whip myself into gear.)

I was just curious about other peoples routines, that's all!

I go to the gym three-to-four times a week to build muscle, run, and work on upper and lower body.

Then I go to Aikido during the week (now in Summer when I'm not at university) three-to-four times a week, and work on my balance, offensive and defensive power. I did Karate from 10-18, and Aikido from 16-21 now, and when I'm in university I still go to Aikido off-campus at least once a week. In fact, I am returning to Aikido tonight.

My diet consists of mass amounts of food and drinks. Sushi, Gatorade, chicken, ribs, mashed potatoes, frappucinos, coffee. Basically, I have no diet. But I'm around 6'4" and 200 lbs, tall and somewhat skinny, so I need to eat a LOT to keep my frame supported. Before the Fall semester, I was 200, and now I'm around 170 or more. I lost that weight unintentionally because our university doesn't serve the best of foods.

My goal is to eventually have my black belt in Aikido (I'm a brown belt right now), so that I have a black belt in both Karate and Aikido, and to become like my sensei/master. Then I plan on possibly joining the MMA in the future and knocking guys out left and right, or perhaps just using what I've learned to defend myself.

 

[pique]

My workout schedule goes like this:

Monday I do legs
Tuesday I do core
Wednesday I don't workout to give my body a little break
Thursday I do arms
Friday I do more intense core
Saturday I focus a little bit on everything
Sunday is another break day

Every day before school I walk about a mile, sometimes two if I have the time.

ive thought about getting into aikido but im thinking about muay thai

 

[Hellfish]

I do exercise three times a week on every second day. I do a group session with others at 5 in the morning and the gym owners make up the routines but it's normally a healthy mix of all sorts. Some days it'll be a focus on core, upper body or legs, but the following session is always designed to balance it out. Sunday's is intense running followed by a light full body workout that usually involves playing a game, like picking cards and you have to do reps based on the card type (like diamonds being push ups) or the card value (queen being ten reps).

I'd probably recommend not doing exercise that early though, unless you like sleeping at work. Also listen to music while doing exercise, it's good for motivation ^-^

i alternate between chocolate and vanilla ice cream 5 days a week. It's tough but keeps me in shape (round. round is a shape)

- - - Post Merge - - -

but seriously though. I try to workout for around 20-30 minutes a day at least 3-5 days a week. today i rode 5 miles on an exercise bike. But a lot of times i like to do youtube workouts also.

 

[piichinu]

i go to a strength training class twice a week..and do what they tell me

I don't excercise but I want to start doing it so that I can healthily lose some weight. I'm fine with my weight and how I look, but my doctor has said that losing weight and developing an excercise routine would help my depression and insomnia. How do I get started? Do you go to the gym or just do it at home? Honestly, I'm a bit scared to go to the gym. I'm in highschool and a lot of the GYM BROS at my school go to gyms and I just don't wanna be seen.
Also, I used to do tennis and soccer, but now the only teams around me are gendered and I don't want to join a gendered team because I'm ftm and it would just be weird.

 

[Nuclear Bingo]

I work out 6 days a week as a three day split.

chest/tri/shoulder x2 a week
back/bi/ x2 a week
legs x2 a week

put in calves and abs in a rotating cycle.

I do a 4 week cycle
lighter to heavier as the weeks progress and then one deload exercise for each group. Working within the 8-12 rep range. Starting off lighter and progressively getting heavier, while dropping the amount of reps, as I do close to or at failure by week 4

rn I am cutting so 1800-2000 cal, 150-165 grams of protein, 40-50 grams of fat (usually I eat a bit more tbh), 100-120 grams of carbs.

Protein and consistency in diet and workout is key. You need a **** ton of protein to build muscle if you're serious about it. That's why whey is so popular. You can get soy protein powder though. But imo soy protein tastes awful

I would start practicing martial arts, actually. Any of them will do, there's plenty. I started Karate when I was 10 with a coupon/voucher, did Karate for 8 years and earned my black belt first degree (the belt after black belt), and have done Aikido from ages 16-21 now. Now I don't let anyone mess with me, not even my parents. I'm saving up money now (doing a good job of it, actually) in order to move out, because I don't agree with their house rules.
