In normal circumsatnces (pre covid) I do 3 x 1600 swims/drills weekly and 2 x 60 mins weight training/stretching sessions a week. And 3 saunas. Now (post covid) after a lot of experimenting I have settled on 5 x 45 mins on turbo trainer and 5 x 15 mins weights/stretching a week. I love hearing about peoples exercise regimes!  

PS that's 1600 metres not lengths. Lols 

Wow, Anne! That’s impressive 😮 ⛹🏻‍♀️I’m not very regular. Ideally I alternate sth like HIIT/Plyometrics/jogging with yoga/Pilates/Balletlates/brisk walking. (Not during period- bc of the effect of estrogen on tendons) - and YouTube is my source 🤗 

That will give a lovely sleek look Chlorella. 

😯 are these for weight control or fitness, Anne? xx 

I walk my dog, do some boxing and play vr fitness games. On my sore days I do some cycling 

Hey Anne thats still impressive!! (even with the correction) since covid I've not been swimming, but did a lot of cycling, and my yoga, and I learned to do simple wights for my arms, I train at least 3 times a week again now, plus the 10k a day walking and the cycling usually more then an hour a day,  

Ezeasdean! How long have you been boxing? and what kind of boxing? 

Chirella...I keep meaning to get going on HIIT so far I havn't what HIIT do you do? 

Hi Elizabeth! Lately I do the workouts of this girl called Sydney Cummings. She's got HIIT, Plyo, etc You'll find her on YouTube :) 

Chlo, I exercise, generally speaking, for fitness and the other benefits it brings. My mantra is: cardio for fitness, weight training for body shape, and diet for weight control. But they all work together to give an overall package. 

thanks I'll look it up 

Elizabeth, that is great. A good variety is important. I do more than the average person especially in my age group but it is what I am used to and what I love to do. 

Thx Anne! I’ll keep that mantra in mind 🌟💕🙂 

I just wigggle it in zumba lol highly reccomeded 👍🏻dance it off 🔥💃🏻 

I lift weights 3x a week. On occasion I’ll race my kids, go for a walk etc but that’s not the norm. When in the losing weight phase (I’m in maintenance now) I would walk once a week around my kids activities and dance around the house when cleaning. 

dancing is good while doing the hpousework, I'd forgotten about that! 

I swim every day I’m off, weather permitting. I do all my squats, donkey kicks, fire hydrants and scissor legs in the pool too.  

I do push-ups mainly on holidays. The frequency and intensity are changed monthly. I also like plank and abdominal muscle training. ▽°｜b✨ ¬＝｜oO(I am in the process of creating an attractive chest muscle. 

Bicycle and swimming :)
