I have walked 3 miles a day for the last 10 days...didn't want to take a break but felt I needed to (women will understand). Is walking at least 5 times a week a good goal?

    I do JM 30DS 7 days a week, and alternate weights one day and cardio the next so no days off unless I start to feel weak :P

    Why would women understand? I dont get this.

    I work out around 5-6 days a week, I do heavy lifting 3 mornings,and do pole dance some evenings. Depends, some weeks I may only do 4 days and do pole the same days as lifting, others I'll split it.

    I workout 4 days a week. I'm doing a split routine (upper/lower) weight lifting routine on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Cardio is tagged onto the end of each workout for 10-15 minutes. Abs are done twice a week on Tuesday and Friday. That's pretty much it.

    I try and burn off at least 500 calories six days a week, with cardio. I don't do any lifting.

    5, 6 or 7 depending -

    Monday, Tuesday and Friday is weights, Wednesday is Football training, Sunday is indoor football, Saturday will be football matches when the season starts and the spare Thursday I'll probably be going running unless I have plans.

    That's up in the air right now while I change things up, but for the past few months, I've been doing 3 days per week in the gym. StrongLifts 5x5 program followed by up to 30 minutes of cardio (sometimes less, if I'm feeling pretty wiped out).

    Lately I've taken up karate again, which is kicking my *kitten*, so I haven't settled back into a routine quite yet. My plan is to do the martial arts workouts 2, possibly 3 days per week, and lift weights 2 days per week.

    I recently broke my wrist and was told not to exercise any way that would stress my arm so I've been doing the stationary bicycle for 30 minutes six days a week. I think you need to rest for a day and I choose the day to not exercise on the day that I weigh myself because exercising makes you hold water and I do my weigh-in in the afternoon. I work with a nutritionist who comes in to my building at 3PM -my appointment is at 4. I guess I could exercise afterwards, but I use that as my rest day instead.

    When my arm heals I plan to get back to doing Zumba, which I love at least 4 times a week and then doing the treadmill for two or three days a week.

    I usually run 4-5 times a week. I run two days and take a day off, run two days and take a day off. I also do P90X Ab Ripper on my days off or if I can't run on my run days.

    I try and work out about 3-4 times a week if i can. I do fitness dvds, walking and kettlebells. I find these easier to do when i have a one year old. Dont have chance to go to the gym as i have no help. Try doing the fitness dvds, they burn loadsa calories, and there fun :-)

    Currently, 5 days a week. Next Sunday starts 6 days a week for the next 8 weeks. 4-5 times a week is typical for me when not on a specific program.
