I have a basic routine of alternating days between upper body and lower body workout, with cardio on both—6 days per week, Monday - Saturday, and then Sunday is no exercise routine (I'm sure there will be something I'll end up doing just because of weekend chores and family stuff though lol).
WOW!
We have the same regime 😂
I only have one chair, but otherwise the same
I have had scoliosis and kyphosis for most of my life, and I've been exercising over a year and a half to fix it and I'm seeing the improvements every few months.
I exercise almost every day (with few exceptions when it's unavoidable) and every 3 months I get 2 new sets from my trainer. These sets are tailor made by a posture specialist (chiropractor I think) and based on routine checkups I do every 3 months. It's fairly cheap (for international standards at least).
The exercises themselves are fairly easy to do (no equipment needed besides everyday things you have at your home - chair, box, pillows, etc.), but are really effective and intensive since those are corrective exercises. Depending on the set, I usually exercise 30-60 minutes a day.
I also want to encourage anyone who has an issue with their posture to seek advice from a medical professional and invest at least 30 minutes a day to improve their posture. Your body will be grateful, trust me!
Absolutely hate exercise but I've been getting a lot of walking in with my Standing Desk + Headless Treadmill. I need to probably start lifting weights again but trying to slowly ease into being active. Also, quarantine killed my diet, need to get strict and cut the freaking carbs.
Beat Saber and Ring Fit Adventure (to stay in nerdy shape)
I do meal prep and workout daily.
I also stretch frequently, I even use Stretchly as a reminder
Started calorie counting, drinking more water, and I have a home workout that’s pretty simple. 3 compound movements with dumbbells (chest, back, legs) and I walk on the treadmill for 30 min. Feeling the effects of coding all the time so I’m trynna add this in. I’m in week 1!
3/4 days per week (1 day training + 1 day rest). And 2-3h each training day.
I don't have a routine of exercises. I practice parkour, and as sport is very complete. I just try to enjoy without routines. This is a video of last year:

I'm 30 years old and I've been training parkour for 15 years. Since then it has helped me a lot to concentrate and relax when I work.
I clean the apartment once a week, that's about the most movement I'm doing right now 😆
1000 skip ropes + 40 squats + 40 pushups + 40 leg raises. It's my own modification of the one punch man routine :p
Doing yoga in the morning, and meditation, before sitting down to code.
Meditation has been super important lately.
I spread out my exercises throughout the day.
Instead of once-a-day for 1 hour, I do 20 min morning, 20 min mid-day, and 20 min evening. This keeps me pumped throughout the day.
I do calisthenics, so the only "equipment" I have is a pull-up bar. Low maintenance, and I can keep working out even if I'm on vacation :). Calisthenics allow me to keep up with consistency.
My breakdown:
6days/week, Sunday = rest (minor stretches).
Pilates and long, podcasty walks! This site has been a particular blessing during pandemic times. I also have a really shoddy used exercise bike I bought on OfferUp ($50!) which has been adequate for the Portland rainy season while gyms were closed due to COVID.
I use training coach freeletics, three times at week min.
Simple and easy xD
I bounced around in a few disciplines since October going from bodybuilding style of training to powerlifting, to Olympic lifting, to CrossFit style of training. I change it up as I see fit for my goals. Currently, right now I want to build a little more muscle and trim down my excess body fat so I could either train a bodybuilding program or CrossFit. Because the local gyms are closed still due to COVID I just do CrossFit in my garage as I have all the equipment for it. Amrap plus one has tons of good material on WODs and they have a membership that basically generates your workout for you so you don't have to scroll through their materials and choose something. The membership is $8 and it generates a different workout everyday in multiple CrossFit disciplines. Once I get where I want with my bodyfat percentage and functional fitness I will start to work on my powerlifts. I wouldn't call myself a crossfitter, I only do it because my job requires me to be functionally fit.
