How many days a week do you workout?

BrownEyedG1rl

Just curious if you give yourself any days of rest? My goal is to work out five days and rest for two. What do you do?

I workout everyday.. Monday thru Sunday. However on Sunday which is supposed to be my rest day.. I usually just go on my elliptical. I feel guilty and lazy if I don't do something everyday lol. I am addicted

My plan is to workout 7 days a week for 60 minutes. If I am really tired on 1 day, I will give myself 1 day off, but no more than that.

I go by how my body feels. There is nothing wrong with taking a day or two or three of rest if your body is calling out for it! Typically, when I'm feeling tip-top (which luckily is most of the time!), I workout 5-6 days per week. Rest is where 'the magic happens'.

I tend to workout 4to 5 days per week. Your body does most of its recovery and muscle growth during a recovery (rest) period.

Everyday, I run 4-5 days and on off days I walk.

I workout monday through friday, I work on the weekends and with my anemia and epilepsy I should rest when I work, but I do stretches and walk around the house throughout the day, but nothing strenuous.

5-6 days a week Sat or Sunday is usually my rest day. Right now my schedule is 5 AM swim laps and cycle 20 min on MWF TTH Its 35-40 Min of 16MPH or faster cycling followed by 8 incline or higher Treadmill run at 10min pace or Stairs and Cals for 15 min.

On Sat I do an Early AM Spin class sometimes 2 classes. I also do Pushups, Crunches, and Planks at home every other night regardless of rest day.

I try to go to the gym 6-7 times a week so almost everyday. If I feel overly tired then I'll take a day off. I don't take two days off in a row because it's hard to get back into the routine. I go before work M-F and then Sat/Sun mornings. If I don't work out first thing in the morning I'll talk myself out of going even though I love it!

I "TRY" to workout 6 days a week with 1 day off and hr each day sometimes more than an hr.............but sometimes u just need and extra day! do what works for u and ur body!

I have a goal of 300 minutes per exercise per week right now. I am exceeding that by a bit, and usually do 6 days of work outs with one day off. And I am generally trying for three harder work out days and three lighter days so my muscles have time to repair.

I'm working out 6 days a week right now. 5 days of Jillian Michaels DVDs so some days a lot of cardio, some days more strength training. I walk on Saturdays and take Sunday off.

I workout at least 6 days a week. But I also alternate my days - MWF are High Impact days with kickboxing, kettlebells, or whatever Jillian DVD I picked for the day. The other days are mainly walking or the elliptical.

I workout Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and I take Wednesday and Sunday off.. Works for me :-)

I aim for 6 days a week, usually taking off Saturday or Sunday. I think your plan is a good one. Good luck!
