    I at least go 4 days a week to the gym but try to do some home workouts as well.

    I run 5 days per week and do unofficial exercise (mostly walking) on the other two days

    In my 3rd week of 3x/week bootcamp workout + 2x/week personal training + 4 days/week running. I take Wednesdays off to rest.

    3 is what I'm committed to 100%. If an opportunity arises and my husband can watch the kids, as many as 5 days a week. During the summer, I'll probably go more and take my kids to the childcare there. But, for now, my youngest is only in preschool 3x a week, so I deal with it.

    4-6 days at the gym. Maybe a hike here and there if the weather is nice.

    Usually 5 or 6. I have to miss tomorrow and Friday in order to get my house in order for my hubby's birthday party on Saturday night. I'm already feeling guilty about missing it. But I will be doing a lot of leaning and stuff so at least I'll be active. I do pan on tilting in at least an hour Saturday morning prior to te party. Gonna need thse exercise calories that night. Lol

    In general I do 90 minutes of cardio with 30 minutes of resistance 6 days a week.
    I rest resistance Tuesday and cardio every 10 days or so.
    My resistance is lower weights but high reps, then heavy every 3rd workout.
    And I split my body into 3 muscle groups:
    1. Legs
    2. Chest- triceps - shoulders
    3. Arms - back
    I do a lot of weird things for cardio like military march, boxing type training,
    dancing, floor rolls, squat thrust intervals and the good ole jumping jack.
    And I jog, swim, play tennis, fast walk and bike.

    Lost 70lbs and nearly 20% body fat - it works for me.

    4 - 5 days, with at least two days of strength training and the rest cardio.

    2-3 lately if I'm lucky but everyone else on here makes me feel like I need to step it up some, even if I am busy!

    I alternate days, so running one day, walking the next. That makes week 1 have 4 'workout' days / 3 'maintenance' days and vice versa for week 2.

    7 days, for at least an hour. Weekends I try to go twice a day, but my gym closes at 7 so it doesn't always work out.
    Going to start adding strength training soon, will likely add on before or after my existing gym time rather than specifying days.

    I've committed to 3 days a week 100%, no excuses, but this week i'm on track to hit 5. It all depends on my schedule and my hubbies schedule. I'll go as often as my life allows, but no less than 3 days a week.

    I'm thinking about finding some home routines to use on the weekend since gym hours are not 24H on the weekend and child minding is only a couple hours in the morning. I'm thinking of something like 30DS or zumba workout DVD. That would put me to 5d/week 100% committed.

    I try and do 6 gym classes plus C25k/30DS 5 mornings. It wouldn't bother me doing less as long as I made 4 classes. x

    6 days and I travel on my off day so I at least get a good walk in on that day...

    I walk for at least 3 miles a day, 6 days a week and do pilates 6 days a week for 30 minutes. I don't have access to a gym.

    2 lots of swimming

    I also walk about an hour a day in fits and starts (to my daughter's school, to work etc)

    And I ALWAYS walk up the escalators!

    I am aiming for the kind of excercise that keeps me fit, counters the fact I like cake and I can keep going forever.....

    I also do walking and cycling from time to time at the weekend (and for holidays).

    It's modest by some people's standards but it works for me...

    4 x 90-120 minutes including resistance and cardio to maintain with a smaller 5th workout if I'm really concentrating on getting the fat off.
