    Six days a week, is my goal. I'm training for a 10 Mile run in December, so I'm running 3 days per week (about 12-15 miles per week), doing weight training 3 days per week. However, I just rejoined a boot camp class, so instead of the gym (which I HATE), I'll do boot camp 3 days per week.

    I do tai chi on Sundays and play badminton on Mondays. Besides that I try to have at least two days when I exercise for a bit longer, go for a long walk or something. I leave a couple of days without any specific exercise. Of course I cycle to school everyday and walk to places. My school tends to be physically tiring too.

    Nope. I have 2 rest days and maybe do some active recovery on one of them, but not often.

    I started exercising last month, so I have started off slow. I do yoga everyday. I attend a Yogalates (Pi-Yo) and a Yoga class twice a week. The rest of the days of the week, I use a yoga for weight-loss video from Youtube.

    I do circuit training every day. Mainly because I've found that on the rare occasion when I skip a day it takes me a few days to get back to my routine. I do really well with routines and predictable days. Constant change and variety, not so much.

    Since I've got a dog, yes... I get some "real" exercise every day. I usually hit the gym between 5 & 8 hours per week, too. I try to make Sunday a completely off day (you know, except for the dog). This week went sideways on me, so I get two rest days since I'm buried at work.

    I'd rather be at the gym!!!

    Nope. If I could do more than slow biking or walking the day after lifting, I didn't lift enough lol.

    I go between 5-6 days a week. I do two days that focus on strength and at least four of cardio. I alternate days for lengths. One day I do 30-45 min the next an hour, back and fourth. I've lost five pounds a week since I started.

    Pretty much.

    I go to the gym 5 days a week and do 30 min. of cardio and an hour plus of weights. I walk the dog every day about 2.5 - 4 miles depending on the route that I take at a 4 - 4.5 MPH pace. I'm going to start integrating some workout videos on the weekend as well just to get something in.

    No. 5 days a week, 45 minutes to an hour a day, but I go all out. I need 2 days to rest between workouts - I don't workout on the weekends.

    Yep, I go 7 days a week. I do an upper/lower lifting split, then a kettlebell circuit, and then repeat that. Sometimes I'll do 2 circuits in between if I need the extra rest between lifting

    For the past month I have gone to the gym 6 days a week using the treadmill for an hour, some weights, and zumba once a week. I got a little tired of running so I have been switching it up between the elliptical, bike, and the treadmill and i have been doing more weight training, I've also been doing some yoga classes.

    Im just curious as to what kind of exercises other people do and how often!

    :noway: Bored running? Those words dont compute lol. Why not run outside, its so much better than a treadmill. I could not imagine an hour on the treadmill! I get bored after 20 minutes. Running outside is completely different.

    And to answer your question:
    Sunday: Long run 12 miles
    Monday: body weight exercises and walking
    Tuesday: 2 mile speed run @ lunch, walk dogs or swim after work
    Wednesday: 2 mile hill run @ lunch, 5-8 mile run after work
    Thursday: body weight exercises @ lunch, swim after work
    Friday: 2 mile run or body weight stuff @ lunch, 9 mile run after work
    Saturday: take dogs to dog park (about 1 mile walk), stretch, foam roll, sit around, and try to keep steps under 8K. "Rest day".

    Yes, I consistently work out 5-6 times per week. Right now I'm doing 3 days of lifting with a ChaLEAN extreme video workout 32-38 minutes each. Then on alternate days I run 3+ miles, so @35-45 minutes. I usually don't work out on Sundays, but I'm not against it.

    Over the summer I went swimming 2-3 times per week and went to hot yoga almost every day.

    In the past I've used a trainer, been a member of a crossfit gym, and I occasionally go to a Zumba or belly dancing class or something.

    For me mixing up my schedule every few months helps keeps it interesting, and I can drink more wine! :)

    Oh, and like a previous poster said - GET OUTSIDE! An hour on the treadmill? No wonder you're bored. I do all my running outside.
