Strictly speaking, this question may be a bit tangential to LessWrong, but this was never supposed to be a exclusive thread.
The answer will depend on a lot of things, mostly specific to you personally. Bodies differ. Even your own single body changes over the course of time. You have certain specific goals and values, and certain constraints.
Maybe what you’re really looking for is recommendations for a proper physical fitness forum, which is relatively free of pseudoscience and what they call “woo.” I can’t advise, myself, but I’m sure that some LessWrongians can.
A better phrasing might be: Given that I have difficulty inferring my own desires what might be useful methods for me to discover my pre-existing desires or choose long term goals?
[On an unrelated note, reddits r/fitness is an extremely good source for scientifically based ‘work out’ advice. Which I believe would satisfy Contanza’s criteria.]
How do I work out what i want and what I should do?

I think you’ve taken the wrong meaning of the words “work out”.
[Literally laughing out loud at myself.]
Oscar is correct.

Read things like this at least, and assume there are a lot of things like that that we don’t know about. That’s another of my stopgap solutions.
Interesting link. But in general, I would like just a tiny bit of context so I might know why I want to click on “this”.
Devise and execute a highly precise ritual wherein you invoke the optimal decision theory. That’s my stopgap solution.
