What is your favorite way to work out?

[dovendyret]

I don't work out for gain - but because I think it's fun. My obsession lately has been yoga but I can feel that it is becoming more of a chore than a fun activity so I'm looking for inspiration to try something different.

I was a sprinter and long jumper on the track team growing up. So I love to sprint as well as do training related to it like weighted leg press, calf raises, lunges, squats, as well as stair climbing in a variety of ways, and running uphills with weights strapped to our body.

That said, I don't do sprint intervals as found in HIIT exercises where you sprint as fast as you can for 15 secs and then jog for a minute and then, without barely catching your breath, sprint again. That just seems like torturing ourselves to lose fat and it doesn't seem very athletic at all.

Serious sprinters don't train that way to improve their speed. We take long rests between our sprints so that we can come at every sprint (say 100m dash) fresh in order to beat our former times.

Above all else, I train like an athlete in every motion. I don't "exercise". If I'm lifting weights, I seek to aim for heavier weights in the future with progressive overload. If I run, I run in order to run faster in the future. It's never routinely just doing the motions, and fat loss is never a primary goal.

One of my gripes with the fitness industry is that I think it has become too divorced from athleticism and sports. They've taken the sort of drills and auxiliary exercises athletes do and made that the focus for many people, but that tends to be the most boring and routine part of any sport, like turning kickboxing which can be so interesting and turning it into something so routine with very limited skill progression like Tae Bo.

To me, it's like taking how musicians practice scales and rhythm and making that the entire focus, having people jam keys on a piano in order to burn calories and not to become better musicians.

And so it's no wonder to me that so many people find it routine, monotonous, torturous. So I tend to strongly encourage people to train like an athlete in a sport rather than just exercise like someone looking to lose weight or fat.

Martial arts is my first choice. Not only is it a good workout, but you learn how to defend yourself and learn to gain mastery over yourself both mentally and physically.

I think trying to get gains helps it become fun.
I know that's how our coach keeps it fun.
Setting goals and achieving them. That excitement when you hit your goal is great.
And setting the next level gives a new thing to look forward to
Gains also helps to see results on your body as well.

I like a good cardio session 😅 or those dance workouts since they seem to make happy haha.

I also like running on a thread mill. I’m always smiling when doing it like some psycho 🤣 I find it really fun what can I say 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

I dont complicate stuff
Exercise is simply to be fit and thats why I do it, I dont go to gym, I have dumbell set at home and I walk and jog in the evening, keep a little control on my eating habit and thats it nothing too fancy

I work out at a gym. I do cardio for 45 minutes and lift for another 45 minutes. I try to do 3 body parts. I try to workout 4 or 5 days a week.

[ColtonLG]

I only lift weights, but I’ve always liked quick bursts of high-intensity exercise the most - like sprinting, battle ropes, martial arts, etc.

[Xhuy_006]

Go for hikes or rockclimbing indoors/outdoors. There's also swimming which if I could I would do.

[jennifer_bloom]

I like stair climbing but I don’t do it cause it disrupts my parents who are almost always home.

[shaysh87]

Staircase. I do 10 minutes in the stairs a day in order to look good. No gym, no equipment

[Squaresquirrel]

P90X, the most effective workout for me and I hike a lot.

[AydenHazor]

I personally enjoy weight lifting and CrossFit style workouts but am looking for something else enjoyable at the moment as well

[TheAfrikan]
