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.

scooby is a god.

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

Scooby spews too much broscience annnnd strong traps bro. (He has no traps...)

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.

omg u guys know scooby

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 :/
