For a forum labelled fitness, there is little to nothing (and I'm leaning towards nothing) on any actual personal fitness routines going on

Curious as to what people are doing.

Three times a week: 2 mile run
Once a week: Pushups X3, Plank X3
Twice a week: Pushups X3, Plank X3, Biceps X3

When I say X3, I mean 3 sets, not 3 reps. -CSM

When I get medically cleared to work out again (surgery sucks), I'll be back to my normal routine:

One-mile daily run
Alternate daily between Upper body and lower body

Upper body:
Chest exercises, bench, lats, triceps, etc.

Lower body: Squat, Press, Pull, Curl

I also do free weights daily, simple curls and pumps.

Of course you have to do the sit-ups and push-ups nightly, what's training without them?

Of course I was conditioning planning to play football at the time, and I'll have to work myself back into the shape I was in January after two months of no workouts.

Currently bulking...up to 175 after bouncing between 160-165 for almost a year and a half- thanks CytoGainer =)

Monday: Chest/Abs
Tuesday: Rest
Wednesday: Shoulders/Back/Abs
Thursday: Rest
Friday: Arms/Legs/Abs

All free weights, and the occasional pick up/ultimate game.

Anyone else have a BodySpace here?

Nope.

Though on the issue of weight, I'm trying to get down to around 205, I hit that freshman 15 fast and tried to get rid of that fat and turn it into muscle. I did a decent job of it, but again, surgery, I'm sure most of that fat has come back, though I've stayed at a constant area of 215-220 since.

Monday to Friday (with the exception of Wednesday) -
early morning run, 2-3k,
variation between upper body work and abs to legs
4 excerises, 4 sets each, then abs
or
Pyramiding 4 exercises from 12 to 6 reps in a circuit, upper body

Wednesday:
Pyramiding downwards from 20 to 10 consecutive burpees, with a rest period of a minute or so

Legs - hit a point of 900lbs on the Leg Press, so maintaining
1 mile run: timed
20 squats, 20 lunges, 20 jumping lunges, 20 jumping squats
(repeat three times)

And finally the good old coulee long distance run. The key is to mix up everything and avoid routine.
