How often do you go to the gym? What kind of exercises do you do? How has it turned out for you and your goals in regards to your body?

I go and excercise my eyes

I haven't been able to this semester due to time constraints between classes and work. However next semester my schedule is a little nicer so I do intend to get back into it.

I used to go 3 times a week for 2 hour sessions and run 20 miles.

Weirdly I find that I have way more muscle mass than I ever did doing that, just carrying shopping back from the local supermarket. I should market it as the "Miracle Lidl Workout".

Apparently I'm the only one to vote in the poll? Weird that the OP hasn't yet lol. I haven't been to the gym for the last couple weeks, but I typically go 2-3 days. My days are generally Mon, Wed, Fri. I've been super busy lately, but I'm going to try and get back there on Wed and Friday this week.

[God Save The King]

I go Monday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I try to squeeze in one day in the middle of the week, but it is hard with school & work.

I take walks to exercise, since my purpose atm is losing weight rather than lifting or anything along those lines. I live in a rural area, so I really enjoy walking outdoors.

2-3 times per week. It's turning out well, want to get more muscles and I'm on the way to do so.

[Mendzia]

Never.
Swimming pool > gym imho.

[Acelius]

I try to go 2-3 times a week for lifting and 1 time a week for running.

I haven't been since spring, I find it hard to maintain the motivation for it because the motivation is never truly from a passion to do it. Back when I was 18-20 it was different, I went to the gym 3-4 times a week out of a passion but these days the motivation is always an end-goal so to speak. It's like anything in life if you want to maintain it you have to do it in a way that is natural and sustainable from a mental point of view.

From an ideal body point of view I need to put on some muscle and weight, but it's like if your motivation to do it is purely from that point of view then it's hard to sustain the momentum, but if putting on muscle and weight is just a side effect of wanting to do it then it's easy to sustain.

3-4 times a week.

People have to understand, working out is a necessity, not a choice. Just like you work your mind by reading books, watching some educational video, or working at the office, it's equally important to have some physical activity as well.

[Grimbold21]

None, my gym is outside, running.

[Deleted]

I go 5 times a week, mainly weights but I will do a bit of cardio on the rowing machine each session.

Monday: Back
Tuesday: Chest
Wednesday: Arms
Thursday: Rest
Friday: Shoulders
Saturday: Rest
Sunday: Legs

Ideally Wednesday and Thursday would be swapped but I work late on Thursdays so don't have time for the gym!

I am not fat, but not fit either. Used to be fit in college and HS due to sports and athletics. But I always hated gyms. Always get 3743479 perfect looking swole people working out and here you are, out of shape and not in the "gym crowd". It's feels embarassing and that really distracts from any worth you can get out of it.

I would rather not subject myself to constant humiliation for the benefit of perfect looking people.

No need Push Ups, Sit Ups, Pull Ups and running 4 to 5 times a week. Takes 1hr and 30 Mins


Sit ups as man as I can as quickly as I can 4 sets 2 mins, Push ups same thing, Pull ups and Chin ups same thing. Then Run the treadmill for 15 mins warm up go high intensity for 30 min, ramp down for 10.

Meditate stretching, because I am old and it helps to focus and shut everything out. So no need for a Gym other than swimming. I don't have an indoor pool, but I am not paying 60$ a month for that shit.

I may need to resort to that again. I wouldn't mind being a bit more in shape, but despise gyms.

Pull ups are a really good exercise. It really tells you how fit you are.

I don't go to a gym, but I own my own equipment and exercise 6 days a week.

MWF: 1 mile warm-up, and lift weights. Upper/lower split alternating each week.
TThS: 3-5 mile run depending on how busy I am the rest of the day.
Sunday: REST

This is in a perfect world where I have enough time each week. I never skip lifting days, but I'll skip out on running if I'm too busy.

[BuckSparkles]

I felt the same way when I started, you see juiced up guys lifting 5-6 times what you can. But everyone's been there.
If the focus is on the people around you and not on keeping perfect form when lifting, its gonna be damaging.

Yeah I hear that, but last time I was at the gym all I wanted to do was leave.

Not to mention it was a free trip from some guest pass, and they wanted 200 upfront and like 50$ a month for a subscription. I was like hell nah
