    0. Im lazy i guess. I hate gyms XD I walk often and lift at work iv just never found the desire to lift / walk literally 10-12 hours a day and then run off to a gym like itl make much difference at that point.

    Side note -story time

    On a dating app recently some guy called me a lieing fat whale when i said im into fitness but dont go to a gym. At this point mind you i already learned the guy has a desk job and goes to the gym for 45 minutes twice a week.
    He then went on to blow up at me and rage at me calling me a stupid moron for calling my work (walking 20-30k steps -12ish miles a day while lifting huge bulky heavy furniture up and down stairs for 10-12 hour shifts) isnt exercise and im stupid for thinkign it is and unless i go to the gym im a weak idiot who cant be into fitness LOL.

    again...10-12 hours a day lifting heavy on my feet...<...45 minutes twice a week after sitting on *kitten* all day....

    Was pretty funny lol

    Glad you can laugh at this. It would piss me off (but then I'm not dating).

    :smiley:

    yeah and people wonder why im single ;D I attract winners

    Any workout, gym or not, you gotta take at least one rest day a week. I'm forcing myself to start taking two a week, one is a total rest day and one is an active recovery day so I'll something like yoga. Your body needs to recover so you can come back stronger.

    2x per week in cycling season...3x per week out of season. I'm on my bike 4-5 days per week during the season and about 3x per week during the off season.

    Every day unless I'm out of town.

    It's the only thing that works for me - otherwise it's too easy to find excuses, and if I said 4x/week and then got behind I have a problem where I feel overwhelmed. It's weird but it's actually less overwhelming for me to go every day.

    My promise to myself though is that I only have to walk in the door. If I want to leave (or need to because of a crazy day) that's perfectly fine, no guilt. But for me getting there is literally 90%+ of the battle.

    If I do miss a day I just tell myself that's ok - I'm not perfect but I don't make any excuses and go the next day.

    I do some form of cardio every day and always have a day between lifting. I'm a very beginner lifter.

    I have a gym at home and that's where the cat's letter box is, so I go to the gym several times a day to practice my "scoop and dumps".
    Seriously, I walk 5-7 miles 6 days a week, either on the treadmill, at the High School track when I also run the bleachers or out on a hike, my preferred exercise.

    your cat gets letters?

    i go 3 or 4 times a week with one of them being my 'club' day, but it's more about completing the lift lineup than going on specific days or a specific number of times.

    I go 5 days week before work - 3 days I am doing Spartan workouts and the other 2 are running days. My workouts are important to me because they boost my mood - I have a high emotion/low activity job as a therapist - so unless I am sick, I go. Weekends are free, but I do enough house work that I am still fairly active.

    Swim 3-4x, gym 2-3x. I try and bike, hike, walk or play at the park with the family on my off days.
