Today I have had my usual daily right hand and wrist exercise by pushed my mouse around. I'm guessing it's probably traveled close to 150 feet in total. And with nearly 800 left clicks too!
I virtually never work out, but I keep active and fit for what I need to do.
Every morning I stretch arms, legs, back, neck for 15 mins.
I walk the dog 4-5 times each week, 20-30 mins each time.
I play volleyball once a week, weather pending.
3-4 times a week I don 100+ lb of structural firefighting clothing and equipment and attend emergency incidents with times ranging from 15 mins to 4 hours. I also train at the fire department weekly, but this could be classroom stuff or physical stuff. Fire fighting requires a decent amount of strength but also importantly, the brains to correctly apply that strength.
For me the easiest way to stay healthy is to eat sensibly. I probably drink about 1 can of soft drink/soda/pop a month, maybe one alcoholic drink a week, eat lots of fruit, red meat at least once a week and veggies every night. No smoking or drugs of any kind.

I recently switched from a five day weight training regimen to a 4 day for increased intensity. I do chest and tris day 1, legs day 2, back and bis day 3, and shoulders day 4. Cardio is thrown in on its own 1 day a week and consists of a 3 mile run. I saw good gains after a long plateau after quitting smoking almost a year ago. I just starting using ON's after max but I like to stick to simple protein supps. All the other stuff gives fleeting results for me.

Here is what I'm doing right now. I will change it up to keep it fresh... I am going to try working each body part 2x/week in the near future. As for weights and reps, that is variable. Sometimes its higher reps with short rest periods to burn calories during the workout. Other times I go real heavy (especially on deads because of the rush!). with longer rest periods to break through a plateau. The key is to keep the body confused, not allowing it to adapt, plus it keeps me more engaged. I'd like to do more power work but I do not have a reliable training partner, which is a necessity when you start stacking on the plates.
Chest
DB Press
Incl Bench
Decl Bench
DB Fly
Tris
Cable overhead tri ext w/rope
Tri press down
1 arm db behind head tri raise
Back

Bi's
Seated incline curl
Concentration curl
Preacher curl-ez bar.. 3 diff grips to get the forearms as well
Shoulders
Military Press

Barbel raise
Rear delt cable fly
Traps

Legs
Squats
Super slow leg press

Abs

[Cardio]
30 min 3x/week
running/stairs/elliptical
3 mile walk w/ the dog @ night
Weekends off from the weights, usually do something fun. I really need more seat time on my stumpjumper! Plenty of hiking around here, but lately, I've been exploring the trails with the truck.
Nutrition
20g protein meal replacement drink mixed w/ milk for 8g extra protein 3x/day Includes 3g creatine, bcaa's and other. Lots of water about 3 quarts/day. Food: wherever and whenever as long as it is eating clean!
Isopure on occasion to lean down
Muscle milk has way too much saturated fat.
Muscle-Tech is ok but their marketing is way overboard. They make some good stuff, but its costly. If you follow their dosage, you end up with expensive urine!

Garmin Express
Fitness is an important thing for everyone. You can use fitness tools like Garmin to get fit. Along with all the different devices for navigation, outdoor activities, and fitness, the Garmin has also given an application to manage these is called Garmin Express. It can also be used for registration of a new product, store all the fitness data, synchronization of the remote device data and everything else concerned.

I recently started to engage sports, it’s not so simple with nutrition, but it helps me to go to work for about an hour, and last week my husband gave me an electric scooter, now I get much faster, and I still have the strength to train!

I was addicted to endorphins for a loooong time.
Started with distance running in 4th grade until around 19 years old.
Then martial arts and road racing motorcycles until 26.
Then road racing bicycles until 35.
I'm over the endorphin high. But I'm still in shape (round is a shape). Im not overweight, I'm underheight.

Crossfit 5-6 days a week here, hike or ride mountain bikes on the weekends. It's allowed me to keep doing what I like to do on the weekends, without having to give up my evenings/nights to do longer workouts.

I have been cheating and using some of the athleneX programs. Sure they cost a few bucks up front, but its like having a personal trainer with me and the knowledge of how and why things work, makes it easier for me to keep with it.

I've started incorporating some of his exercises. He has a pretty good youtube.

Jerunas - tips:
1. Drop the empty carbs. No pasta, cake, bagels, bread, tortillas, chips, cereal, or rice. No empty substitute pastas or breads either. Veggies and any fruit except grapes are fine. Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes are great if baked or sautéed, but limit the fries.
2. No soft drinks - this specifically includes diet soft drinks.
3. No added sugar in coffee, tea, etc.
4. Eat what's on your plate, but don't load up on seconds.
5. Daily walks until you're ready to run, then start a Couch to 5K plan.

As mentioned, cut sugar, carbs and processed "foods". Avoid grazing and maybe work some intermittent fasting into your meal prep. Only thing that works is lifestyle change. No need to starve yourself.

1. Not sure what you mean by empty carbs. 99.99999% of the guys here aren't trying to be pro bodybuilders. Rice, Bread, Pasta & Potato is completely fine. Grapes are just fine as well.
2. I drink diet soft drinks all the time along with sugar free Monster.
3. If you want to torture yourself. Just don't go buying all those fancy Starbucks drinks.
4. Food scale is a must. Don't eye ball anything
5. You don't have to run at all. Yes running is faster but you can walk and still burn the same calories. I use my treadmill at an incline to speed it up and never run.
I used to be coming up on 200lb which is a lot being only 5' 5". Did my research and dieted smart and didn't listen to all these rumors to cut the carbs bull shit. Down to 140lbs now. Thought I got the COVID weight gain issues like a lot of people.
Just remember we are all not trying to be pro bodybuilders so a lot of those "plans" out there are not meant for you. Need to find lifestyle ones not full on shred ones if you plan on paying for one. On top of that a lot of the guys you are buying plans from are on gear so if you think you will look like them while being natural don't fol yourself.

To each your own - I posted what I used to go from 203 to 153, without ever skipping a meal. If something else works for you, great.
