this isn't overtly serious i just don't want troll responses lmao

I've been looking at stepping up my fitness plan, bc I've been doing solely cardio for the longest as I couldn't really be bothered doing anything else! The local gym has decreased their rates to try take advantage of the coming population boom, so I'll be taking advantage of that. On that note, what do you guys do as part of your own fitness plans? Motivation isn't an issue, I just haven't really done anything intensive since my mid teens and I've kinda forgotten my routine, lmao. Not looking at any drastic changes to my body, just wanting to tighten things up to how they were a couple of years ago.

I just go on walks semi-regularly and cycle to the shops about 20 minutes away uphill.

If you've got a garden you can work in that weeding, growing vegetables, etc. Apparently that's quite good, and you get nice food at the end. Just don't bend your back too much.

ideally 2-3 relatively short gym sessions a week just to cover all the important muscles, and another running/swimming/cardio session

I really want to get back to doing high intensity interval training though, it's super good for you and I find running at a steady pace boring anyway

In addition to my incredibly active job where I get anywhere between 10,000 and 20,000 steps on average, I lift every day.
Note: 1 amrap means 1 set of as many reps as possible of the exercises and I usually do that when I'm done working on a muscle.

I've posted my routine below, but that's a bit excessive for someone new. You don't need to be going to the gym as much as I go. I just have grown to like it and it has become part of my day, so I try to get there every day and have modified an existing routine to allow me to do this. I definitely recommend lifting weights, though, and if you're interested in routines, I know a few for beginners you can utilize if you tell me your goals and ideal schedule.

I would advise you to take at least one day off for your body to recover. It is generally unwise to work your body every single day. Recovery is just as important as your actual training.

I do martial arts training three times a week and I also do strength and conditioning three times a week. I ride my bike to work each day. I stretch pretty much every day, except for Sunday as this is my dedicated day of rest.
