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).

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.

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.
