Well, when I can even 5-6 days a week, this week I only went twice
no time, and when I had time I was too tired

You would be surprised how not tired you are after even a small workout. Thats what gets me to go!!
I do 5, I usually take off one day during the week (I work 8-5, not much time to do anything) and one weekend day. Unless it's really nice weather then I'll usually hit up a hike on an off day.0 -
I think 6 is fine if you eat enough (and well enough) to support your body. If you are hurting or exhausted, take a rest. Your body will tell you what to do.0

I hit up a bootcamp class monday, wednesday, and friday morning. Its mostly circuit training and is completely different every time I go. I also try and get out for a 30 min jog monday, wednesday, and friday nights after work. I have a little 20 min yoga video I can do at home ...as well as some ab videos I occasionally put on on the weekends.0

Pretty much this for me too. Although sometimes I lift if my boxing/kickboxing class is cancelled for some reason. Sometimes I also do some light lifting on Saturday, and if I'm really feeling ambitious, I'll head in on Sunday too. Basically whatever my body allows me to do, but I never do less than 5 days a week, unless I'm super sick. But, strangely enough, since I've been working out, lifting and eating right, I haven't been sick too much *knocks on wood*0 -
6 days, Sometimes 7,. Dr says I need 6 days and 1 hr of cardio. But i do 1 hr of strength and 1.30 of cardio.0

I go most days but mix the exercise. Spin classes are intense but fun, 3 classesa week. Body pump is lifting weights to music and slowly building up the weights ( 1kg each side at first wimp! but now upto 3.5 each side) this is a slower steady exercise also 3 times a week. I also do free weights at the gym and use the X trainer. I have a concept rower at home so use that. As long as I am alive I like to do something each day
Sunday I tend not to go to the gym but go for a long walk, weather permitting and I do like to go at a good pace. I am 65 and well aware that I need to keep fit so lots of classes at my pace. The classes are fun, great people , bit of chat as we go along I feel good at the end and I think this is the key thing enjoy the exercise you do.0 -
I might be a little crazy, but I crossfit 5 days a week (sometimes 6) and do cardio or skills work on the other 1 or two days. I don't like to have completely off days. Rather I like active recovery where I'll go for a run, work on skills that aren't where I want, or otherwise be active. I try to keep my TDEE at least 2k on rest days, which is burning around 300 cal for me.0

All depends on whether your body can handle it, or not, which you'll notice pretty soon. I'd love to work out every day of the week, but I know that my legs would be sore if I didn't take a rest day or two.
I'd just say, go as many times as you want to, and if it gets too much, just take a break until you feel better:)0 -
At least 5 days a week...I try to get a day on the weekend or at least some sort of cardio also0

Currently on: 4 days weightlifting/week, 1 day HIIT (usually in the form of hillsprints and prowler sleds), 30-60 minutes per workout.
Was on (2 months ago): 3 day weight lifting (Legs/Push/Pull) -> 1 day off -> Repeat
Would recommend both.0 -
Thanks for the imput!! Last week I did five days of a class called RIPPED (they do strength, endurance, plyo) and I felt great!!! I am pumped to add another day, we will see how my body handles this adjustment!!!0

5 or 6days a week. I'm a gym rat, I get bored working out at home.0
-
5-60
-
6-7 days a week, 1-2 times a day0

I go 4-5 days a week. I do spinning, PT sessions, aerobics and zumba, and gym on my own. I would probably do more if I didn't have 2 young kids. I don't do evening classes as I don't want to miss my kids' bedtime.
I go for lots of walks too and am very active all the time chasing after a 3 year old and 1 year old!
You do to rest though, and I think if you did the same class 6 days a week your body would just get used to it anyway, so you need to mix it up a bit.0 -
I only workout 4-5 times a week (mostly 4 times) and go to gym 2 times a week for minimum of 1 hour mainly to lift weights coz we don't have a squat rack and heavy barbells at home.0
