I've been hitting the gym 3 days a week for a couple of months now. I'm not trying to bulk up, but I do want to slow or stop the loss of strength as I age. So I switch between arm machines and leg machines for 3 sets of 15 reps on each. So 15 reps on a leg machine, jump over to an arm machine for 15 reps, then back to the leg machine, etc. That has the added advantage of keeping my HR up so I get a bit of cardio in as well. I can knock out 8 or 10 different exercises in about 25 minutes that way. Then I hit the treadmill for a quick mile. My goal is get down to a 15 minute mile. My best so far was a few ticks over 16 minutes. That gives me a pretty good all around workout in an hour or less.

I also rotate daily between my bike trainer and my rowing machine for at least 30 minutes on each. Sometimes I'll be on the bike trainer for an hour.

According to Apple Health, I've been averaging 93 minutes a day of exercise.

When outdoor riding season is in full swing, I often log 2 hours or more of exercise per day because I'll ride outside for 1-1/2 to 2 hours and still do the gym or walking with Wifey.

My goal this year is to get back to eating better/smarter so I can drop 30lbs.
