    I weight train 5 days a week, and I also ride 14 miles a day on my bike 6 days a week.

    ok..to clarify the "women will understand thing"...I am going to be 50 in September and have hit that age of that time of the month the first day...yeah going anywhere let alone walking aint' happening. I chose to take the day off (10 yesterday in a row of 3 miles per day)...rather than find myself a mile from home with a HUGE problem. (sorry if that was TMI)
    I may try to do one of my exercise videos sometime today..cuz my muscles are not happy at all with my choice. They are screaming for the walk.

    I made a goal of 5 days a week so I should still be able to hit that this week..just kind of made me sad that my record of days in a row have to be ruined :(

    having a small pity party without the chocolate! :)

    Yeah I think it's a great goal!
    I work out 6 days a week. Lift weights 3 days, Cardio 3 days. Abs twice (normally paired w/ a weight lifting day)

    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?

    Every day, even through TOM.

    I usually workout 5 to 6 days a week! I think one rest day a week is a must!

    I work out four days per week.
    25 minutes cardio and 20 minutes weight lifting, alternating days between legs & abs, then arms.
    However, my job is physically demanding, so I 'spose that counts as exercise too.

    I run and/or do circuit training at least 5 days a week. Depending on how fast you're are walking you may or may not need a break. I take rest days to help my muscles repair and relax. Otherwise, I become very fatigued when trying to complete a workout.

    i go to the gym six times a week, seven if im lucky and not feeling dead...plus my x2 daily dog walks a day..usually extra long walks at weekends....i let my body tell me when i need my rest day...x

    FitBunnyEm - off topic but is that a bull terrier I see in your ticker pic? I have never met anyone else to have one! I have a 1 yr old Mini and she is my freaking world, and yes, 2X per day dog walks are a must! The energy those dogs have is unbelievable.

    I work out 3 days a week. Lifting weights. I don't do any more than that because I don't want to do any cardio right now because I'm trying to "bulk" lol which I'm not sure how well that's going to work out. I'll probably just get fat.

    Ideally you should get at least five days. Two of them should be using weights.

    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, MMA 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 78lbs and nearly 20% body fat - it works for me.

    minimum of 5 but I really try to do SOME form of exercise every day. I run 5, strength train every other day and on days "off" I'll do a Jillian DVD or some work with my punching bag. At minimum, I'll take a walk on a day off.

    3 days a week of Running guaranteed.

    Other days something else like biking, hiking. I plan on adding two days of weight lifting when school starts.
