    7 days a week for at least an hour. Run every day, strength train at night. No rest days, I can't do a rest day or I feel like I've failed & will not take it up again. Been like that for 7 months. Works for me :)

    I work exercise into every activity I do, just put a little extra effort into whatever you're doing and you keep your metabolism up and running all day :flowerforyou:

    That's like me. I don't do 'formal' workouts. I walk to work - 30 min round trip 5 days/week. On weekends I'm normally out doing something, hiking or walking or the like. I am considering adding a zumba class just for fun but haven't decided yet.

    No less than three per week at the gym. I try to sneak in a forth if I can, but three minimum for an hour each day.

    On off days, I still try to get in body resistance stuff like push-ups, sit-ups, etc.

    I started waiting tables, so that's active even when i don't have a chance to actually go to the gym.

    I do aim to be purposely active every day even if it's me just dancing around my room

    If I said 6 days a week..I would be lying..it's almost always 7...no matter how hard I try...I can't sit still for a rest day...:blushing:

    I only take a rest day if something really is preventing me from working out, and 2x/week I have 2 a days.

    Lifting 3x/week, running 4x/week, and boxing, yoga, or plyometrics 2x/week.

    I've just stepped up from two yoga classes per week and a swim in the sea once a week to include three body resistance and dumbell sessions per week (in my dungeon training cell - my garage), two abdominal workouts and my usual yoga and sea swimming. Sea swimming also includes a twenty minute barefoot run on the beach or sea front to warm up enough to enter the sea comfortably.

    It's a new thing for me re-introducing body resistance and dumbell exercises to increase lean muscle mass and metabolism to burn fat more efficiently.

    I also cycle to work on three days of the working week: 4miles total on two days and one 18 miles return trip, and try to get a 15mile cycle ride in at the weekend; weather permitting.

    Oh - I rest on Sunday!

    Depends how you count exercise. I walk 3 mile 5 times a week but I don't count those as exercise days. My only 'real' exercise is the climbing I do once a week and the sporadic (I know I need to not be sporadic, I know) weight training I do a couple of times a week.

    I do about 6 days:

    Tae Kwon Do = 2 days @ 2.5 hours
    Running = 1 day @ 45 minutes
    Cycling = 2 days @ 40 minutes
    Strength training = 1 day @ 30 minutes
    Total for the week is roughly 4 and a half hours

    I always have Fridays off because that is the day I normally hang out with mine and my sister's family hang out and we eat what we want.

    3-6 days a week just depending on what I have going on. Sometimes it is split up to-I may do a workout dvd in the morning and then go for a run in the evening. Sometimes I have a non stop day and just don't get anything in.

    5 usually. I workout at home and it's hard to do with the husband and kids around on the weekends.

    No less than 5 days week. Cardio 3-4 times a week for 35 mins, aerobics dance class once week for an hour, strength training and weights 2-3 times week for 15-20 mins. If I deviate from this, I tend to lose focus.

    My set pattern is basically this, AM's Mon-Fri do 20-30 minutes of treadmill, Mon and Wed aerobics class at the YMCA, Tues and Thursday 45 minutes on the treadmill and Friday either go dancing, do Wii Zumba at home or a video at home.

    I have a sedentary lifestyle from my job, and a very active/crazy family. Always something going on weekends that involve family or my five dogs.

    Don't narrow your mind into days though, I have done that before. I get a kick out of my exercise (literally) and it keeps me buzzed, but before it simply burned me out when the laziness overtook the desire to feel better.

    At least 3 times a week and between I do a lot strength training. I'm trying to find a good yoga teacher in Roswell and Alpharetta area. I took a yoga during BGR Drive to End Hunger Conference and Michelle was just awesome. I was able to follow her instruction it just felt good.

    4-6. When I first started it was 6 religiously. Now, I have slacked off. I try to go at least 4 times a week. It is hard for me to go on days that I'm not working...but I do it (sometimes). Occasionally I will go twice a day too. Just depends on my schedule for the day.
