    I know I shouldn't, but I feel guilty that I do not work out everyday. I do feel my body needs a day to rest and let my muscles recuperate. I usually go to the gym M-F. My gym is in my work building, so I only have access M-F. On weekends I go for a run one of hte days. The other I still usually run around doing errands and housework, but usually no actual workout.

    I usually exercise twice a day,6 days a week, 90 minutes in the morning and 60 minutes in the evening. 35-45 minutes of cardio each time followed by a few sets of whatever muscle group I am working that day. I just started this fitness pal diary, I am liking it so far, have heard some really great success stories on here. Very motivational.

    I do have weeks of no days off of running here and there, but I do try to make at least one of those days a considerably easier, recovery-type run, or mix in some weights, etc.

    No, definitely not 7 days a week. Most weeks it's 5 days exercise, 2 rest. Occasionally 4/3.

    I always take Fridays off. I take time to hang with my family and just relax. Depending on how the week goes I might take off an extra day or two. I ALWAYS have at least four days in a week though. And I try not to take breaks days back to back.

    Yes, I do the elliptical seven days a week, it's not like I'm doing insanely active workouts and bench pressing 200. I did miss one day because I spent the whole day going to the VA hospital three hours' drive away, with my husband. By the time we got home it was late, so just fell into bed. That's the only day I've missed out of 30.

    I try but if we are traveling out of town or something my excercise becomes just walking and things of that nature and on those days I try to eat a bit lighter foods cuz I'm excercising less. I do try really hard though to work out atleast 40min a day minimum.

    7 days a week here,
    Aim for 2x a day Mon-fri, and once a day Saturday + Sunday.
    sessions are currently quite short as my knee's still bust.
    [edit]
    i do normally vary my exercise though,s o some days are not that intense
    Currently not the case cos I'm very limited in the exercises i can do

    I try to get up and do SOMETHING every day. If I take a day off, it may lead to two, then three, then I'd be right back where I started.

    I usually workout 4-5 days a week, but I am active every single day. I work on my feet so 5 days a week I'm moving ALL day.

    Monday: run ~30min
    Tuesday: recumbent bike ~30, ST
    Wednesday: run ~30
    Thursday: recumbent bike ~30, ST
    Friday: run ~30
    Saturday: ST, spin class 45-60min
    Sunday: recumbent bike ~40

    I have to work out first thing in the morning, or it just doesn't happen. And because I hate mornings, I find if I sleep in a couple days a week, then getting back into the routine of waking up early is just painful. So it is easier to always get up. If I feel like I need a break, I will sometimes skip cardio and spend 20 minutes just stretching. When my body says it really needs a break, I listen and take them as needed, but that is usually only when I'm feeling under the weather.
