    I used to do a minimum of 30 minutes 5x a week (per doctors instructions)...but lately have been going to the gym daily. I seem to have more energy that way. I end up with one day a week that "life happens" and can't make it, but I feel deprived when I miss now. I beleive it's whatever works for you, since all of us are different and have different lifestyles.

    I work out everyday except Fridays and Sundays. But if I feel up to it and free time I still my workout on those days but not as hard. I just got started so we will see how this works out.

    I've been working out 6 days a week (today's my rest day, and I may go for a walk after dinner when it cools off outside).

    7 days a week for the past 11 months. Been also doing doubles and triples in a day. BUT if you just worked 24 hours you NEED to rest your body. Working out will do it more harm then good.

    I do SOMETHING 6 days a week. Cardio 3, weight training 3, plus 6-8 hours of dance practice. Each time it varies though. For cardio I'll either do an insanity video (high intensity intervals) or do a 30-40 minute treadmill session doing intervals or hills and one day I'll do a long slow run. For weights I'm doing the New Rules of Lifting for Women workout which alternates weight training workouts. Basically I like variety lol.

    Boy do I feel lazy. I exercise (try to) every other day because my joints won't let me do any more than this. Treadmill at the gym every other day, and if I can, ride my stationery bicycle in between visits. I'm 70 years old and I think this is enough for my aging body.:laugh:

    I try to do something every day. Sunday is my rest day, but we usually end up going hiking! It all depends on what works for you. I do it because i like the way I feel every day, and my body physically hurts when i don't exercise!

    5 days a week usually. Have done 6 before but cut back as I am at goal weight and started getting tired. I probably am not eating enough

    Usually 5 days a week. I do a circuit training DVD which is about 30 minutes long, then add on another 15 minutes of cardio. I will often add some more ab stuff or lift some light weights while I'm watching TV in the evenings on top of that.

    From the responses you can see that there is a huge variation in how much people work out. Just do what you have the time and energy and willingness to do. Whatever fits into your life. Don't feel bad if you don't have the energy to do it after a 24 hour shift.

    I do 5 days a week. Two of those days I do a "killer mode" work out where I try to get up to 2000 calories burned.
    The other three days I burn 1500 per work out. I am also a runner and would consider that my usual work out.
    I add biking on atleast three days.

    I'm doing Couch to 5k for cardio and just added Bar Method to my schedule for some strength training. So my typical week looks like this:

    Sat - C25K day
    Sun - Bar Method
    Mon - C25K day
    Tue - walk to my knitting group, 1.5 miles round trip
    Thu - Bar Method
    Fri - Bar Method or walk outside 30-60 minutes, depending on weather and/or how I feel

    Basically, I try to get something in every day, even if it's just walking down to the beach and wading around in the lake for a little bit, and I figure that walking to my knitting group on Tuesdays counts, too. Oh, and if I want a cookie from Dinkel's, then I've got to walk the 3 miles to the bakery to get it. ;-)
