Discussion on: What is your fitness routine?

I've got a home gym and the outdoors.

Trying to get back into the habit but here's my typical core plan:

Mon: warmup, Bench (focus), Squat (secondary), assistant work (crunches, push-ups, pull-ups)

Tue: yoga

Wed: warmup, Deadlifts (focus), Military Press (secondary)

Thu: yoga

Fri: same as Monday but flip focus & secondary

Sat & Sun: cardio - walk/jog/run

I struggle a lot with consistency. Usually I can stick with it flawlessly for two weeks and then it trails off for two weeks, then I stop altogether and have to start all-over.

I did have a stretch where I worked out consistently for 6 months and was in the best shape....and then COVID hit. So just now getting to where I can go again.

I usually workout right after work but really trying this time to work out in the morning as it really does give me a motivation boost that I've already accomplished something for the day.

I try to follow the "5/3/1 workout" (google it).

This video also helped kickstart and bootstrap my motivation: youtube.com/watch?v=snAhsXyO3Ck
