practice routines
Regular training regimens
Practice routines are structured, repeated sequences of activities designed to build or maintain skills.
Musicians follow practice routines to develop technique; athletes have practice routines before games.
The phrase emphasizes regularity and deliberate repetition: Her practice routine includes thirty minutes of scales every morning.
Unlike casual practice, routines imply a systematic approach.
