Do you work out?
7 days a week, alternating between 30 mins of HIIT cardio and 30 mins of free weights.
Being in shape is fun, and it's pretty much free to do! Wish I started 10 years earlier :P

I don't work out. Unfortunately it's not always either about being lazy or simply having a hard time accepting that it's not exactly easy (and going for it anyway) or having hard time to believe it's possible and that it will help you feel better. Unfortunately the last thing mentioned - that it will make you feel better is not necessarily true for everyone as not everyone's health situation is good enough in the first place to perform such physical exercises. Some things just never come our way whether we like it or not and we all should be grateful if we actually achieve what we want and always know that there are many others who would like to achieve the same thing, but they won't ever be able to do that.

4x week/ ~90 minutes per session
Split routine:
Upper body - Sun, Wed
Lower body - Mon, Thurs
I eat about 5 meals per day.

I actually find it very hard to find the time. I would like to work out, very much, but just don't know when. Monday to Friday, I get up at 6:20 and get back home around 19:00 (and that's not counting other life duties, aside from work). I can do something during the weekend, but that's just not enough.
I would seriously love some help with this, when/how am I supposed to work out?

Thats a loooong work day! Do you have a lunch break? At one job I had, I found a leisure centre in a hotel 5 mins from my office. I was able to get there, change, do a quick 20-25min workout, quick shower and get back to the office in an hour. Then I ate lunch at my desk.

Time management is a priotizing problem. If one wants to do something, he/she will make time for it. When things get too crowded, something usually has to be snipped off. You can also try to combine activities. Like reading/doing work while commuting.

Well, unless I could snipp off some work time, I have no idea what to snipp off. I tried to work out in the morning, even though I hate getting up early, but never have the energy to do anything but get ready for work. In the evening, I could try to put something there, but I'm usually exhausted from work. Even if I find the energy to work out, it puts my dinner time to like 21:00 and that's too late.
I know they say that if you really want something, you'll find the time for it... I'm just having huge trouble finding the time and I hate it so much.

Sounds like you need a different job that doesn't suck up so much time!

You've asked for tips on when to work out but you've ruled out every possibility & suggestion. I think you have to accept the fact that your chosen lifestyle doesn't allow for it or make the extra effort to workout even when you're tired before / after work, or on weekends.

I work out at home with two dumbbells ( when I started I used bags with plastic bottles filled with water :> )
5 times a week with a focus on different muscle groups each day.
I also run between 2-6 times per week, but that's more for the joy of it.Nevertheless I try to accumulate >30 km during the week.

Oh, come on. No one else does the six minute workout?

Five times a week for about an hour each time, I mix it up between weights and cardio, usually elliptical or something equally gentle on the joints. I tried jogging but it was hell on my knees, so now I focus on getting the heart rate up and sustaining it rather than one particular exercise. I get bored easily, so I can't stick to just one routine, but I record everything in a log book so the next time I come back to something in particular I know where I was last time. That's the only way I can really track progress.

full body work out @ local gym for 20 bucks per month
3x a week ~ 90min. if motivated extra cardio - could carelessly be reduced to 2x and still be very effective
^ fbwo - effective and time saving ... i don't even consider it a chore, but a necessity like showering or having a meal

3 Days a week with a trad body split, compound movements to start, finish with bodybuilding lifts.

I wish I could keep motivating myself to work out, but it's just so repetitive. The closest thing to exercise I get on any form of regular basis is a ~30min walk.
Luckily I was blessed with a body that can handle not working out. While I'm not strong, I'm not overweight, and I can handle carrying 3 days worth of camping gear (including food & water, obviously), and walking 10+km/day with it on, in rough terrain and not feel tired (until I get home, I always end up feeling exhausted when I get home).

I don't really call myself a gamer anymore as I don't have that much time left for it. But anyways- I do workout pretty intense and regularly. 4 times a week a 2 Day Split workout routine involving(modified as I cant do deadlifts anymore):
Each workout takes around 1h.
Day1
8x8 pullups (with extra weight added)
dumbbell row
Barbell Curls
bend over Lateral raises
Day2
Squats
Dumbbell Benchpress
Shoulder Press
lateral raises
tricep extensions
On free days I like to do some running and/or a max rep on pullups.
And of course proper diet... results see my profile. Still way to go anyways...

I heard that many gamers work out, is that true ??
If you do, how many times / week ?
Share your workout routine if you'd like to :)
For those who don't work out
It's not just getting in shape, but you'll feel better
...and I know that it's hard, but if it would be easy , everybody would do it.
