    How often do you go to the gym

    Never. Too poor to afford gym membership.

    I do workout anywhere from 3-5 times a week at home though

    I workout at home, and I lift 4 days a week and do cardio 5-6 days. I also do pilates every single morning. If you are going to the gym, I would aim for four days a week. On the other days, you could choose light exercises like walking that don't require a trip to the gym.

    Hi, there !

    I first lost weight 3 years ago just walking around the neighborhood & using a treadmill ....

    When I finally joined a gym a year ago, the staff encouraged me to come in 3-4 times a week ...... now I like it so much that I'm there 6 days a week doing cardio, weights & yoga ......

    Best of luck to you !

    9-10 times a week

    40 mins of Spinning 2 times/week
    60 mins of Boxing/MMA 4 times/week
    50 mins of Circuit training 3 times/week
    Walking my dog everyday

    Previously a trainer told me 3 times per week will help u maintain but 4+ will help you loose weight but I am still struggling so I don't know.

    I go every day for an hour and kill it like a boss, I need to start going for longer though if I want to see results.

    I try to go 4 nights a week when I can!!!! When I don't, I can usually feel it the following week! However, this week, I'm only going twice as I've too much going on with going to a gig and going on holiday at the weekend! There's things to be bought lol

    6x a week during off when I'm bulking. During my contest prep, everyday for 3 months. It might a little too much for others but I just love being in the gym.

    Hello. I don't go to the gym at all. I have found some amazing workouts that I do in the comfort of my own home. Yes it took some self discipline and dedication to do that, to keep myself motivated but the workouts are what did it. Once I started seeing results, and it really took one week, I wanted to push to do more. I have done TurboFire, Chalean Extreme and Insanity. All AWESOME workouts. I try to stick with the schedule that comes with the programs and workout between 5-6 days a week. If you'd like to find out more just let me know or you can check out my site www.beachbodycoach.com/meredithD. In terms of the 3 days a week, I would say that is a good start, especially if you are new to working out. Then after a bit of time you can build up.

    Gym usually 5 days a week and then 2 or 3 outdoor runs as well. Now that it is getting warmer out I am scaling back at the gym and going outside more.

    Never been to a gym in my life. I've only ran on a treadmill once in my life when I stayed at a hotel while on vacation.

    I've only run outdoors and have a set of free weights upstairs. I've run 5ks, 8ks, 10ks, 2 half-marathons, 1 full-marathon and numerous other races like the Warrior Dash. Just started doing Jillian Michael's DVDs for core work.

    I'm 5'11" and was 165 lbs and ran track in h.s. -- I'm 167 lbs or so now. 99% of it has been my diet. Eat right and plenty of water......oh and run, run, run.....

    4-5 times per week. Aerobics daily (when I get to go) and rotate Upper body/lower body weights... at least 2 upper and 2 lower each week. Works well for me at this point.
