5day split. 2 cardio days. At the mercy of gym/work hours.

3-4 days. Basically weight training (full body with compound movements) every second or third day, with sprint intervals once a week after the weights, or a long leisure walk. Goal is to build muscle, so I'm trying to keep the cardio low - I don't want to drop it completely because I enjoy it and it's healthy.

What keeps me motivated is trying to beat personal bests, seeing my body change and it makes me feel so damn good that I really miss it if I take too long a break!

Don't go to the gym. Getting a decent set up happening at home. Do bench on Mondays, deads on Wednesdays, and Squats on Fridays. Also try to do HIIT after each ses. And a couple of walks here and there. My motivation is to never get back to where I was 2 years ago 65kg heavier than I am now. But still a long way to go.

3 days a week, weights only (no "cardio").

The weights get heavier. I get stronger. I like that.

One day, I'd like to set up a home gym. That would be fun.
