Daily Workout Routine

[Peachy]

Hello, I need some advice on a workout routine that's fun and interesting. I've been a team athlete all my life, so I'm used to working out with other people. Unfortunately, I'm no longer playing college sports, sometimes rec, so I'm trying to figure out a good workout. I currently have a core workout routine with leg lifts, crunches, etc., along with lunges, sprints, wall sits, planks.. and the days I don't do that stuff I either swim, play racquetball, or use the elliptical machine.
I need to incorporate various upper body exercises, more cardio, and perhaps more leg workout.
I'm wondering if anyone can throw out ideas for an extremely varied routine, because I tend to get bored doing the same thing over and over. I have trouble figuring out upper body exercises especially. Any routine between 20 minutes and an hour is fine. I used to do several hours a day, so I still have some pretty good stamina.
So throw out your daily routine and any ideas please
Thank youuu ^^

lots of workout schedules there for all muscle groups. Pull ups (close grip, wide grip etc) and push ups are my favorite exercises for upper body.

We basically do Cleans, Squats, Lunges/RDLs/HexBar on lower body, Bench press, push press, incline/shrugs/pec flys for upper, with russian twist/bicycles/planks for abs.

If you are talking about w/o weights, I used to do pushups wit chest to ground, clap pushups, decline pushups, etc. If you are strong i guess you could do handstand and one hand pushups . For legs do squat jumps, lunge jumps, wall sit with like a stack of books, and the same abs. I dont know how well it works out but it was better than nothing so yeah

I do roughly the same workout routine every week, but to keep it from getting boring I set goals and try for PRs on certain exercises periodically (the big 3 mostly). Changing up the rep/set scheme for a week can keep things interesting and help break through plateaus sometimes. For cardio I do a mix of running, intervals, swimming, hiking, and soccer.

I would definitely do the 'Big 3' weightlifting exercises:

-Bench
-BB Squat
-Deadlifts

Throw in other exercises from the site mentioned above and you'll be all set.

Spoiler!

I have a 4 day spilt on a weekly basis..
Chest/Arms
Lower body
Shoulder/Back
Full body( usually just body weight exercises )

Cardio
Cardio on the all the days you can.

Just something that i've been doing for a while, and its working out okay for me.

Main compound exercises is Bench/Squat, and I didnt really do deadlifts when I started, but i'll work on that because it does work alot of your muscles, and you should do it too.

Cardio isnt just running, as you were an athlete, cardio could mean playing sports, finding something fun to do rather than just run on the treadmill.

Other notable exercises besides the main three compound:
Bent over rows
Cleans
Pullups & variations
Pushups & variations
Arnold press
Regular rows

Everyones body is different, so just experiment and find a routine that you like.

oh.. and drink lots of water

My routine is to jogged 2 miles at least 5 days a week. That's it. It works pretty well.

That sounds boring, but hey if it works for you xD

**Thanks for the responses people, it's been helpful. I can hopefully come up with a good compilation for a day to day basis. Today I'm gonna go biking, and try to do some girly pushups to get me going.

hey, try to find a way to make jogging fun

i used to hate it.. but i kept doing it, now i love it and it's awsome, it really does what's needed along with gym and a healthy food regime

Jogging is fun, sometimes, but it gives me too much time to think even if I'm listening to music. I just need one speed, one gear, and go all out. That's why the variation works well with me. Running is mindless :/
