    I'd say on a good healthy week, I workout at home 4-6 days...cardio and strength 2-3 of them, and just cardio the remainder.

    4 days...I could do 5 but I like my lazy Sundays.

    I lift 4 times per and do so with minimal rest periods to get the heart rate up. Right now, I have tennis elbow and can't do any pressing exercises so it's legs, back, basketball and doing some sprints.

    5 or 6 times a week. I alternate running and body weight exercises during the week.

    rest/recovery days should be scheduled into your fitness regimen...it's just as important as the work...recovery is when you make your fitness gains.

    i workout 5-6 days per week at varying intensities...it's not balls out every single time, that's a recipe for *kitten* yourself up.

    Monday - ride AM/lift PM
    Tuesday - ride AM
    Wednesday - ride AM/lift PM
    Thursday - ride AM
    Friday - recovery...yoga...go for a walk, etc
    Saturday - ride to gym, lift with trainer, ride home
    Sunday - open...some days i get in a long ride, other days i just hang with the family and do something fun...sometimes i'm stuck doing yard work, etc.

    Great thought in the comment. Recovery is where you make fitness gain. Also, it help to mentally take a break instead of stressing the mind constantly about what the next workout is etc...

    I weight train 3x a week, HIIT class 2x week, MOC Barre class 1x week, plus short 30-40 min workouts 5x week in the mornings. I usually take off one day a week as a rest day.

    6 days a week for me.
    Mon - 60 mins Trx
    Tu- 60 mins circuit training
    W - 60 mins circuit training; Trx 60 mins
    Thurs - 45 mins HIIT
    Fri - 60 mins circuit training: Trx mins
    Sat - rest
    Sun - 30 mins kettle bells: 30 mins abs

    This had better be the reason I am three pounds heavier on the scale than when I started a month ago!! :s

    Six days per week right now but I'd say I'm on a roll. I'd say usually three days per week.

    Every other day I lift, but every day in between I try to do something else, whether it be jogging, HIIT, walking my dogs- anything to keep me from laying around.

    My fiancé and I lift 5 days a week and generally stay out of the gym on the two we take off.

    I once worked out six days a week, with just yoga on my rest days, and that was indeed fun and all while it lasted, but more recently, I now do yoga, splits stretches, and one quick 3-10 minute toning video from YouTube in the early mornings, and then I make sure to get in 10k+ steps throughout the day. Imo, keeping active by walking throughout the day is so much more fun and easier than setting up a time for exercise. I don't really have rest days since walking is a light form of exercise. I guess if I don't go much above 10k steps, that'd be considered a rest day?

    Three days per week right now. Usually, I'm working on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I'd like to increase it to four days a week, and have a morning session on Sundays too though once I think my body can handle in in a few weeks. I've only been back at it for like six weeks now, so I'll be increasing my load soon.

    6 days a week. Sunday is my rest day. Up until a few weeks ago I was running 3.5 to 4.5 miles Monday-Saturday. A few weeks ago I started a 8k training program. It's more intense than the 30-40mins of running I was doing. It has me doing tempo runs, hills, interval runs, long runs.... I ran 6 miles last Tuesday - that's the longest distance I've run since my 20ies!

    I mix it up, I run three times a week, and I do kettlebells between three to five times a week. My only rest day is Sunday.
