Yes. 7 days a week.
I run, strength train, and do yoga. Though I use the "go hard" approach sparingly and don't overwhelm my recovery.0 -
3-5 x a week-3 for weights and rest walk, bike- gym etc..Stay active doing active things daily,except Sundays;-)0
-
Well I've only been at this a month, but in that month I've only rested 1 day. I only get 1200 calories per day. I really need that workout, so that I can boost my calorie intake to something closer to 1500. That's my motivation to workout 7 days a week.0

I exercise every day, but not at the same intensity every day. Some people call this "active rest."
So, most of the week, I workout for an hour, combining circuit training and fairly high intensity aerobics, but one day a week, I just goof off on the Wii or go for a walk. Of course, since my goal is to walk 5k in 45 minutes, some people would consider that pretty high intensity. But there were still two girls who walked right past me last weekend! I can't decide if achieving my 45 minute goal will help me look like them, or if being that much smaller would make it easier: I am probably dragging 70 more pounds around that loop than they are!0 -

hell no
Ditto, lol.
I do get in activity MOST days of the week, but if I don't do it one day...no big deal. I'm not eating anything that's going to throw off my week if I don't burn calories one or two days a week doing exercise. For me, I'm MORE consistent if I don't get too obsessive about it...I can't do all or nothing because it all becomes so erratic and I get no where.0 -
Do you exercise 7 days a week? Or do you give your body at least 1 day for rest?
Yes, but then I love what I do and I listen to my body so I never burn out.
edit: as I notice concordancia says, "active rest", on a couple of days in the week.0 -
I work out 7 days a week, 1 - 2 days may be lighter cardio with weights involved, but I do something everyday. Its working for me now, so don't know if I'll change it up in the future.0
-
Yes, normally 7 days a week. Not these past two months, though, due to surgery recovery and a major life issue. But for about the previous 8-9 months, yes, and once I get this stuff taken care of I'll be back to that.0
-
I exercise every day but consider my 2 days of strength training as active rest for my long run days. I don't think it is crucial to exercise every day. I only do so because I enjoy it and it helps me to be more mindful of what and when I eat. A lot of this though depends on what program you are doing. There is no one right answer.0
-
I try for something everyday if I take a day off it becomes 2,3,4...... and I don't want to have to keep starting over, I have started the 30 DS 3 times now ant this time I hope it is the last time0
-
Yes, I do but two of the days are targeting cardio, pushups, and abs only. The remaining days I focus more on weight training.0
-
My goal 7 days a week at a min. of 30 minutes but I usually end up doing a lot more.
When my body tells me to rest, I do, I did not work Sunday or Monday because my achilles was killing me. I have eased myself back in this week.0 -
Yes I do because I'm addicted and if I don't I get cranky.0
-
i do something every day. 2 days a week i avoid the gym and on those days i take the dogs on long walks and do gentle yoga. For me, there's no reason not to do something physical every day...0
-
I usually exercise 5 days a week.0
-
Five days a week for me. Without those two days, something would probably break or drop off after a couple of months.
Three quite heavy days, two lighter ones and two of lifting a heavy remote control, shopping bags or the laptop.0 -
Mon- Bootcamp + C25k jog
Tuesday - PT session + Metafit class
Wed - Bootcamp + walk
Thurs - Strength training + C25k jog
Fri - Bootcamp + walk
Sat - Metafit class + C25k jog
Sun - Hill walking
I used to count walking as a workout because of how high it would send my heart rate. I count Sunday as a rest day simply cos I dont do as much, but I still get exercise.0 -
i used to do 7 days a week, but since working with a personal trainer, he advises me to take at least one day off, so that day is usually Sunday. Your body needs a day of rest.0
-
I try to exercise in some capacity almost every day. Usually Sundays are my "rest" day, but I still throw in a decent walk or light run to keep loose.0
