I usually hit the weight room and do some cardio on Saturdays. My gym is closed this weekend, here are my choices:

1) stick to cardio
2) get a day pass to another gym so I can get in my 3rd lift for the week
3) nothing except sit on the couch, eat ice cream, and watch children's programming (which I'm going to do anyway regarless of exercise)

    Probably just do some calisthenics and a run.

    Do the lifting this week. And just do some type of cardio on Sat.

    I would change things around to squeeze in an extra day this week or next week.

    Yeah, I usually do Tue, Thurs, and Saturday. If I can't get in on Sat I'll pick up Sun, but they're closed the whole weekend and my only available days to lift are Tue, Thurs, Sat, and Sun because of family obligations and the group fit classes I teach.

    Do some workout video's, go for a walk, go for a run or go swimming.

    Do some outdoor cardio like running, intervals, walking, jumping jacks, jump rope, etc...even play sports?

    Also, you can do ab work, push ups, squats, lunges, etc. and stuff like that.

    I hateee when my gym closes! Have a good weekend! :D

    Try to hit all your lifting days before Saturday...even if you have to split it up in one day. For example...you could hit shoulders in the morning, and then legs later that evening. You still have today and two more days to get the lifting done....you should be able to get chest, back, legs, and shoulders in before then.

    I'd go to the other gym - I did that before when mine was closed.
    If you can't though, it's not the end of the world, 2 days lifting is still good, just try and do some form of exercise like cardio, or make up for it next week.
