Fellow. No kids.

First time in my life I’m actually sticking to some kind of workout routine for six months. Just going for an hour split between weights and cardio 4-5 times a week for 50 mins to an hour. Three day rotation between triceps/chest, biceps/back, legs. Not going for gains, just whole body health. Go after work.

What are other people doing? How do you fit it into your daily routine?

I run 21 miles a week, 7 miles at a time. kayak 8 miles once a week. days i don't run or kayak i do shoulder, ankle and hip strengthening exercises with bands and weights. i used to swim and do spin classes but quit the local gym when delta got prevalent. Probably go back in the summer. would like to run more but i get tendonitis ankle sometimes if i run more than 3 times a week.

Constantly training for the next half marathon. Old and slow, so anything under 2 hrs is fine. Might shoot for a 1:45 next time out. Did a 1:54 this morning. Chilly Chickamauga Battlefield. Also like fitness 22 app. Doing pullups 2-3 days out of the week. Last time out was 4 sets with 2 min rest. 7-20-12-12.

I should start back at gym and do some circuit training.

IM PGY-2. I walk 4 miles daily. I am lazy as **** with cardio so that's my cardio. I strength train otherwise. I do movement based rather than body part split since I like powerlifting. BW 170 (S: 350 DL: 450, Pause B: 260)

My current regimen is
Day 1: Heavy squats, rows
Day 3: Heavy bench, pull ups, ab work
Day 5: Deadlift (alternate weeks between heavy conventionals and high volume romanians), volume squats, light bench
Day 6 (optional): some extra calisthenics

That kayaking time must be a joy.

How do you find time amidst your clinic schedule and kids? Less sleep at night? Fewer meetings with KOLs?

 

[hyperalgesia]

It's really hard to establish a work-life balance when you are in training. Once you're out and have more control of your schedule, it's completely up to you how you allocate your time.

I run a 2-3 days a week and kayak 2-3 days/week. In the summer months I swim once/week.

It will be awesome when covid ends and races start up again. I miss the anticipation, standing around with all the motivated souls waiting for the horn to go off.

 

[pmrmd]

It’s definitely harder once you have a family and kid commitments. I lift three times a week either at the gym or at home and hike/bike once a week. Solo time amidst the chaos is therapeutic.

18 at UKy. 16 and I travel 12 weekends a year for his lax. He is committed to Michigan.

In my free time I am the treasurer for the hs lax booster club, the president of the Roswell lax club, volunteer for SIS on evidence analysis committee. Helping out with some reviews for publication, and a chapter or two.

I do not enjoy down time.

I have covered men's NCAA lax for some time now and it's always entertaining, you should consider being sideline doc for local teams - even HS can be worth it

 

[SSdoc33]

Run 35 miles/week.

Workout during lunch in my office 2x/week.

Yardwork

 

[Sharps]

Crossfit 3x/wk w/ my kids till Corona. Now once a week workout- 2 working sets deadlift, squat, bench press, shoulder press, and rows. Best gains so far!

 

[jonnylingo]

Man, ya'll are badass.
I thought I was doing great with 10mi/week run (3 mi, 3 mi, 4 mi -- M/W/Sat). I need to step up my mileage.
I do McGill Big 3 Core work every morning for 18 painful minutes.

Is it like a four hour workout or something?

 

[Baron Samedi]

Recently joined a bouldering gym, been going a couple times a week in addition to normal weight lifting. Really fun and great way to improve grip strength.

Beat the sh.t out of people on the tennis court . Get injured. Recover. Beat the sh.t out of people on the tennis court … repeat. Need 3-4
Days of Recovery and Massage as I
Get older . Almost therapeutic at times .

 

[BobBarker]

I got a Tonal. It is worth the cost. I enjoy doing the shorter classes. I am getting a better workout than I was using my pulley machine.

 

[Doctodd]

Rolling boulders or tires will eventually wear out your hips. As for gym time, testosterone is highest in AM, so i work out in AM. Only rarely if ive been fasting can i muster a light afternoon workout.

 

[hyperalgesia]

Agree it's harder to workout once you eat - best in the AM

 

[Asclepius186]

With young kids the only time for personal fitness outside of work and family stuff is early AM. The only thing that gets in the way is occasional early AM procedures or my own laziness wanting to sleep in.

Agree..although I’m already up at 5:15 am, how early can one get up?! One of my nurses gets up at 4:30am everyday to workout. She has twin 5 year olds. Looks pretty damn good if you ask me

 

[runfastnow]

Gotten into Olympic lifts the past two years. Work out 4-6 days per based on cycle. Great for strength and mobility and core.
Garage gym with bumper plates is one of the best investments I've made. Makes working out for spouse and me much easier with toddlers about.

Wake up 0630
Clinic/Procedures 0800-1600 (usually out by 1400 Tuesday/Friday)
Dinner/Family/Toddler Time 1600-1900
