    I work out 6 times a week and rest on Saturday. i walk at least 30 min a day on the treadmill. 3 times a week I do Tae kwon Do and the other 3 times a week I do strength training with weights.

    I workout 5-6 days a week depending on my training routine. i teach Aerobics, Cycling and Zumba several classes a week and weight train 3-4 days depending on my aerobic schedule. i try to mix it up by power walking and hitting my hill in our backyard (4 acre hill) so i try to keep variety.

    Six days a week for cardio - alternate days for strength training ... upper body one day, lower body the next. Have been told the muscles need time to regenerate and repair themselves.

    I do between 20 and 40 mins 6 days a week.
    I try to mix it up so my body doesnt get used to doing the same thing day after day, so in an average week I do one swim (30 mins - thats all I have time for in my lunch hour) One dance session on my Playstation dance mat (40 mins or so), One or two sessions on my mum's elliptcal (20 mins) and then 2 or 3 20 min sessions sessions on my stationary bike.
    Although I just ordered the 30 day shred dvd today, so i'll be doing that from tomorrow.

    I have to add that I used to HATE exercise with a passion. Even when I first started dieting I'd just watch the food and tried to be a little more active day to day, but I didn't exercise. I started when I hit a plateau. Not only did it get the lbs moving again but after just 2 weeks I started to look forward to my workouts, a concept that was completely alien to me. Not only do I love working out now, but if I don't do it I feel really restless.
