How many days a week do you work out/exercise?

I walk 2 times a day and gym 2 times a week

I work out every day... and have no issues. You have to listen to your body, so if you're sore or tired, then take time to rest.

Some of my work outs are a lighter intensity than others... good luck!

I am a stay at home mother of 3 and 2 of them are home with me during the day while the oldest is in 3rd grade. I know what it's like trying to workout with the kids. I have recently started walking around my neighborhood with the younger 2, using my double stroller. I walk in the morning and a few times a week i walk to get my daughter from school which is 1.1 miles away from our home. For exercise I do it pretty much everyday, even if it's a family walk on the weekends i add that in. I do try to take One day of rest, which is typically on my weigh-in days. I do have a treadmill which is what i started walking on till the weather cooled off, and i do the Slim in 6 DVD from Beach Body. I get what you mean though, I feel really good after workouts and it's really hard not to do them for even a day. Your rest day doesn't have to be no exercise, it is different for everyone. Yoga, Stretches, Walking, just something "lighter" than what your use to doing throughout the week.

I jog 3 miles a day mon-sat. and then on sundays me and my fiance play tennis or go swimming or do something outside with the kids...

There are actually a number of reasons, both physiological and psychological, that we feel good after a workout. Among them is the fact that working out releases the same chemicals that get released when we eat chocolate, called endorphins. There have also been studies that show that people actually believe they look better when they workout. I think it has to do with focusing on the positive as opposed to the negative we usually focus on when looking at ourselves.

I know I feel my best after a workout, and I workout HARD. The next day I'm usually so sore I can barely move, but right afterwards I feel like I can take on the world.

I coach football, so at the moment that's my main cardio. Sometimes I also do HIIT if I feel motivated, but I don't follow a schedule. I listen to my body. If it's tired, I rest. If it has energy, I use it so it doesn't get stored.

My resistance training is another thing entirely. I lift 4 days in a row, then rest 1 or 2. I follow this self-developed split;

day 1- legs
day 2- chest
day 3- back/biceps or back/shoulders
day 4- shoulders/tricpes or arms
day 5- rest

I also work my abs and calves every 3 days with intense short sessions wtih heavy resistance, for 3 reasons; Those are weaknesses for me, those muscles recover quickly so I can work them more often, and those two groups have mostly fast-twitch muscle fibers, which means they need heavy resistance more often to stimulate growth.

I usually workout 5 days a week. Sometimes 6. I think its fine to work out everyday if your feeling good about it. I dont think it is bad whatsoever if your body can handle it!

I do Crossfit. The general formula is 3 days on/1 day off. Often I will go for a bike ride on a "rest" day though.

I caught the bug, and I do 6 days, and if I can, Ill do cardio on Sunday at the gym, which is about one mile from my house

I started 3 times a week, lol, and 10 minutes a work out, can you imagine.,

Now Im 6 to 7 times a week, 2 hours at a time.....I m doing this because my Drs appointment is Dec 21, and I wanted to lose enough that Im completely taken off the milder form of blood pressure medicine that Im on now......so yeah, Im a little extreme, but I have an agenda

to be at 210 by Dec 21 and Im closer and closer to my goal. Im doing this for my health..If I play around, it may hurt me in the long run. I just am addicted to this goal, and for the reason of wanting to be healthy for years to come, Im staying focused.........

Soooooo, lol, no, Im doing 6 days a week, and its not killed me.........Good luck, Lloyd
