I am an amateur athlete. The original motivation was my back injury was so bad they were talking about disability so I just wanted to have a fight to get it out of my system before I couldn't use my body anymore.... which led to me getting in shape and not having to have surgery. Eventually I ended up also doing strength competitions.
3 - 5x a week I work out for an hour in the morning which consists of lifting to a daily max (squat, push press, bench, or dead lift) and then doing the exercise bike for the remaining time.
2x a week I go to a boxing gym to get formal coaching. This starts warmup at 5-5:30 and the class ends 7 - 7:30.
3x a week I run a "combat club" at my personal gym. We generally focus on kickboxing and grappling but we are starting to add in some strength based workouts as per request by the members.
Sundays we have a boxing coach come in and work focus mits with the group for an hour or two.
I try to run on the weekends but it doesn't always happen. I usually go 3 - 5 miles when I do.

Keeping in shape for my gf.
She's been doing Resistance Stretching by Bob Cooley for almost a year now, very impressive, and I've started helping her with exercises that require a partner.
Mind you, it's not really my thing, I prefer walking or biking, something to keep my mind more occupied, but even a 15 - 30 minute workout has some impressive effects -- particularly I notice how it clears the mind of the day's cobwebs.

I've been exercising most of my life. Was a gymnast in high school and college. After college I got into running and then into bicycling (excessive amounts of bicycling). Lost about 30 lbs of upper body muscle due to all the bicycling so decided I better add some weight-training to my regime. Now (at almost 65) I weight-train every other day and do cardio on the days I don't weight train.
My motivation is that I really want to be able to 'do' things when I retire. Hiking, roller skating along the beach, skiing, etc.

Who else thinks this looks like a scoop of ice-cream?

That ice cream is a little too cold for my taste: and you should be aware that poaching somebodies thread is not considered polite: we already have a member who posts APOD most days, and you are treading on his toes a bit here.
Some don't mind, others get annoyed. I'd avoid doing it if I was you!

Even leaving the temperature aside, it doesn't look like anything I'd want to eat!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

He lives in Portsmouth, so his options are
1) Cynicism.
Or
2) Suicide.
