    I work out twice a week, each workout is fullbody lifting 30-35 minutes plus 15 minutes cardio. I'd like to work out 3x a week but I have other priorities that take precedence. 2x/wk is still enough for me to get results, although I *assume* my results don't come as fast as others that workout more frequently.

    I train 5-6 days a week, 1-3 hours a day. My lifting has improved insanely, I've maintained scale weight and done some pretty sweet recomp over the last year.

    But, unless you are a competitive athlete, my level of training is overkill.

    5 to 6 times a week. It's been a big help not only for fitness and health, but for stress relief. 4 times a week is good too.

    It appears u are concerned only with weight loss results. In which case what you eat is going to impact that more than the number of days u work out.

    Currently I try to work out 5 to 7 days a week. It has nothing to do with a weight goal and everything to do with performance goals.

    3 days heavy lifting/week
    Trying to gain weight, probably not eating enough. Still getting stronger though.

    6 or 7 days a week with a 4/3 or 4/2 split weights to cardio.

    - Cardio consists of Krav Maga on Tuesday, Thurs, and Sat morning for 60 mins
    - Weights are in line with the 4 day breadown (legs, chest/tris, back/bis, shoulders). But I'm looking into going more towards stronglifts 5x5 soon
    - Also try and walk 10k steps a day no matter what day it is

    As far as results my goal was to be overall healthier so I value my cardiovascular health as well as improving strength, flexibility, dexterity etc. I'm still eating at a deficit to lose the last 7 pounds to reach my goal weight. Which seems to be taking forever so my weight training is more for maintaining and I'm not seeing much in way of gains. Plan on hopefully doing a bulk phase over the winter.

    Starting 6 wks ago, I've been planning on 14hrs/week but end up with 10-12. Mostly cycling or hiking which are the only things I enjoy doing. Eating about 1700 high carb low fat(plant-based) and losing 1.2 lbs/wk. Down to 128. Need 8-10 more.
