    4-5. Less if I hurt myself, more if the 6th is a nice long relaxing walk or hike.

    3 heavy lifting days and 4 days of assistance / BW exercises.

    For the first 11 months of consistent lifting I only did 3 heavy lifting days, though. It took time to build up the energy / will power.

    I try to get to the gym M - F right after work. Some weeks, I only make it there 4 out of the 5 days. Weekends are reserved for yard work, cleaning, etc.. or relaxing if my body needs it. However, I find that if I relax the whole weekend I have to convince myself to go to the gym on Monday. So, I really do try to do something productive with my energy on the weekends so that I don't get lazy.

    I work out Monday through Friday and give myself one hell of an off day Saturday and Sunday. I figure I deserve it by that time since I am normally very lazy. :laugh:

    I started out about 4 days per week with a goal of 150 minutes per week of exercise.

    Now I work out about 5-6 days per week with double workouts most days (Crossfit and lifting or Crossfit and yoga, or running and lifting, you get the idea...). I love working out though so I don't do it as a chore. I do it because it's my hobby.

    Between 5 and 6. I switch days between cardio and bodylifting. I actually really enjoy working out.

    I workout 5 days a week...Monday - Wednesday...Rest Thursdays..Friday and Saturday then Rest Sunday!!!!

    I use to workout 6 days straight, but then I got really drained and felt exhausted all the time. Once I put in that extra rest day, felt a whole lot better

    I've been lifting weights 4-5 times a week for years. There is such a thing as overtraining, you'll know it if your workouts start to surf or you can't lift as much as you usually can.

    4-5 times a week. Depends on what my work schedule is like; some days, there just isn't time. But I make sure to take 2 days off per week to rest my whiny knees :)

    Wow! It's so great to see so many people working out 5+ days a week. Inspires me to move more!

    I do a boot camp/circuit training style work out every other day, which usually equals 3-4 times a week. I'm starting to transition to doing 2 days on, 1 day off, etc., so I'm aiming to get up to 5 days a week soon.

    4 days a week. 3 of them heavy weight lifting focus and 1 moderate cardio. I just kicked off a lean bulk phase.

    Wow, I think I'm the person who works out the least on this website. Sweet! I lift 3 days a week. No cardio. That's it.
