    Because for me if I do nothing on Saturday and Sunday then Monday is that much harder to get back in the routine. If you get a full workout Mon - Fri then do a low impact routine for the weekend or a stretch/relaxation routine.

    I love going on Saturday morning right when I get up. Then I'm done by 9 and can do absolutely whatever the rest of the day. It's perfect.

    I do lots of things on Saturdays.

    Eg, swimming, surfing, body surfing, beach run, walking, chase kids, multiple sets of 12 ounce curls, etc.

    Saturday is my day to do whatever I want. If it burns calories, then cool. If it doesn't, I don't care. It's not like I don't get in enough exercise during the week, and I don't have to answer to anyone but myself. My butt isn't going to magically get bigger if I don't workout on Saturday, even if I eat 5000 calories. It all balances out.

    Because I get my drink on on the weekends... Saturday workouts make me feel less guilty about that. ;)

    Saturday can be the best workout day. The usual distraction of work doesn't come into play. You can bike further, run longer, or lift more sets. It's all up to you.

    I have much more time on a Saturday to get my workouts it and your body doesn't know what day it is. It still needs to be worked.

    Since my washer and dryer are broken, my Saturday workout is a laundry marathon. :ohwell:

    Because I have to feed horses/unload hay/train horses and rider/rebed duckhouse/unload grain sacks/water all horses and the ducks/ etc., no matter what day of the week it is.

    I have the time, and my gym is wonderfully empty because nobody else has the motivation to workout Saturday morning.

    Do it or don't. I honestly don't care what you do or don't do in the gym on any given day.

    I echo the response, why not?

    Whatever you want to do. I enjoy Saturday workouts but if someone else doesn't, *shrug* it doesn't change what I do.

    My 10 am yoga class gives me a reason to wake up before noon and start being productive!

    Because its a great day to start the weekend, you can exercise for a much longer period of time, which means you will burn more calories & have more calories you can play with.

    For me it's because I have to. If I don't work out every day, I'll stop working out alltogether. It just has to be a routine for me. Wake up, eat breakfast, go to class, come home, work out, eat lunch, etc.

    Best way to start a weekend!! I don't have to get up before day to fit in a workout. I can sleep in and still get my run in. No pressure to be done early.

    1. I love my Saturday morning Zumba class.
    2. Less crowds at the gym at night.
    3. More free time so I can work out whenever I feel like it.
    4. Less people in the parks/tracks during my runs.
    5. To make room for more calories if I decide on a big dinner or drinks.

    Saturday is a day to concentrate on some good working out. You can rest afterwards no work, no pressure. Just a day to get in a good work out which gets you ready for the following week.

    Because I like to get 3 workouts in a week and...
    1) I'm not a morning person, and
    2) the gym is closed by the time I get out of work, and
    3) I only get a 1/2 hour lunch, so I'll skip lunch break 2x a week so I can take an hour and go to the gym 2x a week

    Why not workout on a Saturday? It will be more fun if you do something different than usual as workout like; cycling, hiking, running, swimming. boxing, football etc.

    thats it.

    my long bike rides and runs are scheduled for my days off. i'll still wake up at about the time when i wake up for work, because i'm used to it. but i don't need to rush. and i get to enjoy my work out without looking at the clock.

    I do shorter runs in the week as I dont have a lot of time - so I use Saturday to extend my run
