    I workout 2days then rest 1... just got back from vacation, so gotta get back into it.

    ETA: LIFTING. I really don't do cardio, but throw in some plyo exercises at the end of my workouts. Duration approx. 60-90min; mod heavy to heavy.

    i workout 6 days a week but i enjoy it. if you want or need a rest day take it and dont feel bad at all.
    i run 3-5 days a week
    taebo or circuit training 3-6 days usually 6
    and some sort of laborous yard work 6 days a week


    rememeber its up to your body to tell you what you can handle.....some people have to rest several days a week some dont...you also might be able to handle everyday for a while and have to go to a few rest days later on...just listen to your body

    Yes, but I don't go to a gym everyday. I walk my dog, bike commute to and from work, and just keep active. I do formal exercise/training 5-6 days a week and have at least one "lazy day" a week to just rest my body. Even on that lazy day, I still have to go to work and walk my dog, so I'm still doing some activity.

    5 days a week ... 30 Day Shred in the morning before work.
    3 nights a week ... 1 hr at the gym; weights and cardio
    1 or 2 days a week ... go for a 2-3 mile walk or hike.

    Don't eat ALL my exercise calories back.

    I'm at 1204 calories so far, really not hungry and if I workout then I'll have to eat even more.

    But it is. If you have a NET here of 1200, then you workout to the tune of 600 then you have 1800 you can eat to reach that NET of 1200. It is how life works. 1200-600 (exercise) = 600 NET

    I work out 6-7 days a week, and if I'm not at the gym, I try to get some sort of physical activity in, like a hike or a long walk. I do it because I like the rush I get after a workout, but I also feel pretty guilty if I don't... and if I don't, I only have 1290 calories to eat, and that is just not enough for me. I have a really hard time staying at 1290 calories without being really, really hungry, so I work out to eat more. I love food too much!

    I'm going to make you feel better...I work out 3-4 days a week for 30-40 minutes. Don't feel bad about taking a day or two off!

    I don't necessarily "work out" every day, but I have to do something active. I'm at the gym M, W, F & I usually run M, T, R, F & Sat. On Sundays I like to go for a hike, or to the climbing wall, or take the dog for a long walk, or do cartwheels in the front yard .....if I don't do something to move I start bouncing off the walls.

    I lift everyday. But I have coaches customizing programs for me as I head into my off-season.

    My MFP goal is 1 hr of exercise 5 days a week. I try for more and tend to workout 6 days a week with 2-3 of those days being more than an hour, sometimes up to 2 hours. All cardio except for the occasional "walk at a fast pace through my house for an hour because I can't walk outside" day and basic dumbell weight lifting. That being said, I listen to my body and when I've pushed my back too far, I take a day off, two if needed. It's better than having my sciatica flair up and being on the couch in screaming pain unable to move for a week.
