7 days a week. If i don't lift weights everyday I start feeling very uncomfortable
People who say they don't have the time. It takes an hour of your time. There's at least 1 hour per day in everybody's life where they are doing absolutely nothing (sitting down watching tv etc), when they could be exercising. No excuses!0 -
At least once a day0

Stationary bike 6 and yoga/stretching everyday, gym and swimming pool 3 x week0

Before I started my 2nd job I was going to the gym at least 6 days a week. Usually took a day on the weekend to clean house or relax in prep for the next week. Now, I do a walking paper route 7 days a week so...I guess you could say I work out daily!0

i dont do "as much" on Sunday, but have been trying to incorporate one rest day....as your muscles need to rest/repair....if not, i was told that i would be increasing the chance of injuries....which no one wants of course! I have friends that work out...mon/tues, rest wed and then work out thurs/fri/sat and rest sun....But as another MFP participant mentioned, listen to your body!
Good Luck0 -
I do everyday but probably once every 2 weeks or so, my body says enough and I have a day I do nothing. But otherwise yes, I do 45 minutes at lunch and 45 minutes after work and sometimes a half an hour in the evenings at well.0

Yes. The last day I didn't was in January when I had a terrible cold and I had no energy. When that happens I just figure I need rest. I've had a couple of transatlantic trips this year and even then managed to get in 5 miles of walking around airports on travel days when I couldn't get to a gym.0

I rest on my days off from work, and I find that my weight loss speeds up when I'm not at it 7 days a week. Could just be me, though. Grain of salt and all.0

I must exercise my heart (cardio) daily and strength train my muscles minimum 5 days a week on a rotating muscle group basis. Having been overweight most of my life, I have no choice in the matter. My health depends on it. Besides, in the days before "modern conveniences" all people exercised physically every day.

Depends on your ability to recover.
If you find yourself dreading your workouts or getting sick easy, dial it back.0 -
I go to the gym about 4-5 days a week and if I just can't fit in into my schedule I do an hour fast paced walk. I try to get 6 days in one way or the other. Today I did the least amount than I have in weeks- I walked and hour and a half at the flee market. I don't feel too good about that being my only calorie burn so I'll probably walk the dog. BTW- I don't eat my exercise calories.0

Every single day but change it up not the same workout; I do Zumba, Turbo Fire, Running, Brisk walking, Cycling and I keep track of anything else that can add my calorie count like gardening etc0

3x every nine days. I work 12hour shifts and I'm just too tired so all of my exercising happens on my days off (I work 4 on, then have 5 off). I have a rest day between each workout to allow my body time to make it's adaptations. My progress in terms of lifting is slower but I can't help that - my schedule is what it is. When I had a normal 8 hour workday, it was a consistent 3x/week with at least a day inbetween to allow my body time to recover.0

Define 'exercise'... it all depends on your intensity.
I do CrossFit M-F @ 5am and then Oly Lifting in the afternoons. I take weekends off completely. I earn them LOL.
But if you are doing light exercise (walking, low-intensity cardio, light lifting) then you'd be okay going 6-7 days.
However, HIIT and Heavy weight training demands rest days, usually a 3 ON 1 OFF split is the norm.0 -
Everyday without fail.
My body doesn't care for "rest days." I workout for an hour everyday and the rest of the day is my rest. That's enough rest for me.
It works for me, makes me feel great, I recover just fine and it hasn't hurt me or my progress in the least. But of course everyone is different so you just have to listen to YOUR body and learn what works for you and do that.

Do I use the elliptical machine every day? no.
Do I feed and water livestock, drag hoses around, haul hay, work in the garden, do landscaping? yes.0 -
I do strength training four days a week, and speed rope on the off days. I do lots of hiking.
When I am running a calorie deficit I wind up needing days off and I do less volume on the strength training, but when eating at a surplus, I do something 7 days a week.0 -
I exercise everyday- 60 minutes of cardio daily0

No. especially if it's a harder work out, you'll need a rest day.
As it is, I've a bum ankle and a 50 hr a week job so I'm lucky if I get a half hour in a week in about 3 or 4 different short stints. When I wasn't so busy and partially broken I was getting about 4 days a week, sometimes 5, and probably closer to 3 hours a week. Some people can exercise more than that, but everyone should take at least one rest day a week to let their body recover and to prevent injury.0 -
No, I take at least one rest day, maybe even 2:)0
