#2At bare minimum, 20 mins of cardio, immediately after waking up.
I have to make that the lowest of the lazy bar, and do it first thing in the morning. Otherwise the percentage chance of it not getting done for the day increases to at least 86.7%
First is best, that way I can at least revisit the idea of weightlifting later, and then still feel somewhat good about myself when I lay down to go to sleep at night, having not worked out.

#3Morning walking for 20m + 30 pushups and body weight squats.
if I feel like running I will run for whatever feels comfortable. but I skip pushups and squats that day.
after work, I hit the gym. I follow mostly PPL split.
calories 2000 to 2500.

#4Every Tue/Thu/Sat after waking up I drink a strong black coffee and eat 6-8 eggs omelet with cheese. Read news, catch up with the Internet for 40-60 min. Then do a lifting routine for 60-80 min. I follow a slightly modified SL5x5 + Greyskull LP system (can't bench heavy with my dislocated shoulder).
I think lifting is great for gamification, every time you try to increase a little bit (Greyskull advocates for "partial plates" which are sets of plates of 0.5-2 lb that let you increase very slightly). Looking at charts over time feels great, and when you plateau or have to deload because of sickness or skips, you know what you did wrong, and you get back to it.
For cardio mostly every day I bike to/from work, about 50 min or so each way at moderate speed.

#5Every morning, I meditate for 20 mins. Then for Mon-Wed-Fri, I run to the gym (about 2kms) and back for a 30 minute workout. For Tues-Thurs, I run 4kms.
On at least one weekend day, I get up early and hit the skatepark for a skate before all the kids and better skaters get there.
On the 3 weekdays I work in an office, I bike in (5kms)...
The one thing I've come to rely on, aside from the physical benefits is that all the early mornings give me a running start to tackle the day ahead, whether it's work or the kids routine...

#6I try to follow Ben Bergeron programming. Google it, his daily email is free. I used to do it 5 days a week, but am now down to 2. I really need to get it back to at least 4 days a week.

#7- 2 days a week I do indoor bouldering during about 1.5 hours per session
- 2 other days a week I do 30 min of bodyweight workout on rings : 5 min plank (front + sides) then dips/rows/push-ups/pull-ups

#8Wake up, black coffee, and 1 hour of a push/pull/legs split, 6 days per week.
30 mins cycling on my stationary bike at home watching netflix, 3 days per week.

#9I walk 8-10km a day and swim 1km 3 times a week. In the winter I add in yoga or cycling and reduce the walking a bit cause it rains.
I don't do any gym weights atm, but I'm currently renovating a house, so I end up spending one day a week carting building material around.

#10I train every other day. Wake up early in the morning and have a fasted walk to the gym (~30 minutes) during which I may or not drink a black coffee. During training I have a peptopro shake with some easily digested carbs and creatine.
My routine is a modified DoggCrapp where I perform myo-reps after the three heavy sets. I've found it's a nice way to add volume without taxing the nervous system. The volume is needed so I can eat more tasty carbs.
I avoid cardio and simply make use of long walks to keep my My diet is high carb, moderate protein and fat.
