    Yea, I do work out every single day. Thursdays and Sundays I don't go to the gym, but I do a 2 mile walk. Every other day I walk 2 miles and then go to the gym as well.

    I listen to my body. If I am really tired, I take a day off. If I am not tired, I exercise. If I notice my workouts are suffering, I will take the next day off. Some times I work out 10 days in a row, other times I end up taking 2 or so days off in a week. Just learn to listen to your body, and let it tell you when to rest.

    I love working out (granted I work out via dance) so I usually do at least a 30 min workout every day :smile:

    5-6 out of seven is my goal. 4 is my minimum.

    That said: I either bike or walk (2.5 miles) to work and back each day of the week. So somethings usually happening then. And husband and I do something on the weekends usually. So there's "workouts" and then there's "active stuff".

    Usually make it about 5-6 days working out and 1-2 days of rest. I try to make sure at least 2 of those workouts include some strength training.

    Yes. I've only missed a handful of days in 2 years, was doing 3x/week before that. It's not ideal... but when you're addicted to the gym...its fine :)

    I work out every single day, the only thing is different intensities. I dont go crazy everyday and workout 2 hours, I plan everything out so I have strength training/cardio days, yoga days, and days where I just walk, I love working out everyday and I definitely feel amazing.

    Nope.

    Currently I run 3-4 times a week. Other days I walk (a bit) or stretch or do some strength training (though not lately I need to get back to it again).

    I tried to at least walk every day last year when I was actively working to lose weight, but now I'm maintaining/slowly dropping the last few kg I have settled into something that I plan to keep up for the long term.
    Having had a few injuries along the way, I know that rest days are really important to give you muscles and joints a break and let them heal from the stress of exercising.

    I usually do Zumba 3 times a week, and strength training 3 times a week with a little cardio. Sunday is a rest day.

    There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that you DO NOT have to rest 1 day a week like many people think. Research "Active Recovery" for more into. I will qualify that by saying the active recovery must be at a lower intensity. An example would be going for a walk, playing a less intense sport (golf comes to mind...), or the like.

    Yes, I just do it. I feel weird when I don't workout. But if I really need a rest, I will rest.

    After 4 continuous days of working out, my body feels too exhausted and achy. So the 5th continuous day is usually a waste because I cannot workout effectively. I take a break after every 3 or 4 days depending on the intensity of the last workout.

    i try to hit 6 days a week but 4 is my absolute minimum and on my rest days i usually try to still do something active, like walking or yoga.
