I work out 6 days a week - 5 days at a 5:30am bootcamp for an hour and I hike each Sunday with some friends for about 5 miles. I take Saturdays off but feel like I should be doing *something* that day, but maybe rest is okay.0

I workout 5 days a week, rest for 2. I strength train 3 times a week and do cardio all 5 days (treadmill, Zumba, Body Combat, and Elliptical).0

I honestly don't do much, but I've made changes to my everyday life to make a little something every day. I park far away from my classes and briskly walk to the building I need to be in. That way, I get a pretty quick, but good workout in by walking to and from my car 5 days a week. I also work in retail, so I've started increasing the speed of which I walk around the store. I try not to stand in one place and make sure to keep moving. It makes it a little bit better when I have to help someone and have to bring out the ladder and climb it. I'm going to start going to the gym at school during my three-hour break between classes, so I can get some hardcore working out in.0

I'm on my first week on MFP and my AIM is to do at least 30 minutes a day! I have kept it up for the past five days and so far I feel great!!0

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 have the same approach. I go by what my body is telling me. But generally I alternate days of weights and cardio. I'll do say..cardio on Monday and weights on Tuesday. This way my muscles have something of a rest in between. I usually do this 5-6 days a week and one complete rest day. You don't want to overtrain.0 -
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 run every other day. As I have gotten older, I am finding I need to be more careful, I get injured a lot easier now than I used to (I never used to get injured at all!)
One day on, one day off for me0 -
5 days a week -
Monday - Cardio and Circuit training.
Tuesday - Off
Wednesday - Cardio and Arms
Thursday - Cardio
Friday - Cardio and Legs
Saturday - Off -- this is my cheat day, if I need it, such as going out w/friend etc
Sunday - Cardio
and sometimes I switch up the days I circuit train, just to keep my body guessing...
I try and add some form of Core Exercise when I go and I never take two days in a row off,... makes it too easy to make it to that 3rd and 4th day without going, which then can turn into a week. Plus it's like starting all over if you miss 3 days in a row.0 -
I workout 6 days a week. I feel like the rest day is very important even though I feel funny not working out that day.
ME TOO! Super restless on the off day.0 -
I work out everyday. I have been on MFP for 140 days and I have only missed two days, as far as exercising goes (one day was because of sick me, the other day was because of sick kids). Anyway, I don't do the same thing every day. I run 3-5 days a week and I walk or do a circuit training DVD on the other days.0

As a CPT I will tell you that rest days between workouts is very important. your 5 on 2 off is a good rule of thumb to folllow, even doing cardio 7 days a week can be to much, a lot of it is based on your current level of fitness. Try changing your days off every 5-6 weeks, go maybe 3 on 1 off 3 on two off. please feel free to write me if you like. I would also recommend reading WOMENS health they haver some very good workouts in every issue.0

i only workout 4 days a week. i do sun, mon, wed or thurs and friday.0
-
I workout six days a week, sometimes seven depending on what my rest day is like0
-
I do fasted cardio every morning --- running 4.8 miles every day. Will be up to 6 miles every day by the end of Jan.0
-
I don't set out for a number of days. I work out based on hours. I aim for 28-38 hrs a month. The range is to accommodate for golf games. I guess in reality I aim for 28 gym hrs.
I normally don't workout for just an hour so rest is built into my week. It just depends how I feel for he day0
