How many times a week do you workout ?

I would prefer to work out everyday but because I feel I take away from time with my family I usually work out 4 days a week. (Mon, Wed, Thur, Sat) for about an hour to an hour and a half. I do feel guilty on my rest days so I bought an excercise ball and weights and a eat alot better on those days as well.

6 days a week, the time varies because right now I'm doing Shaun T's Rockin Body, the workouts are usually 45-75 minutes.

4-5 times per week, usually 5 in most cases.

About 65-75 minutes.

My philosophy on days off? Sometimes things get in the way and you have to miss. Therefore, i don't ever intentionally take a day off (if i'm especially sore or wore out, i make it a lighter day, but not an "off" day). That way, when the unavoidable conflicts occur, it makes itself a "rest" day. Also, i don't stress out about having to make choices like workout over family, etc. but the trick is, i work out EveryDay that there is no conflict. That is working out to be 5-6 days a week for the last 6 months and i'm cool with that. I mainly do cardio (60 minutes of either treadmill or (mostly) elliptical) and 3 of those days i'll add 30 minutes of strength training. For me, the flexibility works and i appreciate the days when i don't have a conflict, but accept the days i do and chalk it up as a "rest" day. This kind of rambles, but i understand your question completely and this is the mindset that has worked for me!

I agree. You just HAVE TO be extra mindful of diet on those inevitable rest days or when you have a conflict and miss workout.

Usually 5 days per week...sometimes 6 but I find that my overall performance is best when I have a couple of rest days.

Rest days don't mean I just sit around and do nothing...it means that I'm not going to do anything vigorous or overly taxing to allow my body some recovery. I usually take the dog for a walk (and I do that at least 3-5 days per week anyway beyond my actual exercise) or I'll take the kiddos to the pool and play around with them...do some restorative yoga, play a round of golf with the fellas, etc. I'm generally active on my rest days, not just sitting around watching t.v. or whatever. My rest days currently are Sunday and Friday. They kind of change as my training changes and/or my schedule changes. I always have at least one day on the weekend that is a rest day so that I have time to get **** done around the house (yard work, staining the deck, fixing things, etc) and run errands and whatnot.

I'm a little confused on how 5 days per week vs 6 days per week would somehow make you go off track...it's just one extra rest day...and again, you can just be generally active on rest days. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to be balls to the wall all of the time...in fact, that's really not very good at all for your overall fitness.

I just recently started going back to the gym, and am working out for about a hour a day, Monday - Friday.
Typically, I do one day of stationary bike for a hour, with 8 pound weights, one day of weights only, and run at least a mile a day on other days. Saturdays we typically do something involving the dog, which means walking or hiking for a hour or more.

I also have a fitbit, which drives me to hit 5 miles a day. I hit this every day, except Saturday and Sunday (where I get about 3 miles). I will walk/run until I get to that goal a day.

I try to really listen to my body. If I don't feel like doing it, I don't go as hard, or for as long. Sometimes I break up my running into two gym trips a day.

5 or 6, crossfit and short runs.

I workout 5-6 days a week in the early mornings. Admittedly I over due it and yes I feel guilt on rest days. Rest days for me are usually 30 minutes on my upright bike at home. lol

About 5 times/week, but I try to limit those times to under about 40 minutes. It includes heavy weights, plyometrics, HIIT, maybe some sprints, etc--I mix it up and pretty much just try and kick my *kitten*.

Sometimes I'll walk the dog or go for a long forest walk/run, but in general I stick to the more intense, faster workouts.

I usually workout around 6-8 times a week, sometimes twice on the same day:

Monday - 50mins yoga
Tuesday - spin class
Wednesday - weight training
Thursday - spin class (am) and 50mins yoga (pm)
Friday - weight training
Saturday - 50 mins yoga
Sunday - weight training.

Saying that sometimes I miss a Monday or Thursday yoga session, or the odd weight training session if I'm busy with work or other things, hence the 6-8 times

I work out 6 days a week-35-40 mins of cardio and abd work out. I take Saturday's/Sabbath off to rest my temple and visit God's temple, and I don't feel guilty about it at all. I started working out again about 2 weeks ago, and I've lost 5 lbs, but mainly, I FEEL GREAT!!

I usually workout 5-6 times a week.....heavy weight training followed by 20-30 min high intensity interval training (i.e. uphill sprints, running stairs, etc) my workout are about 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours long .........if I feel like I need more rest I take it......rest is apart of losing fat and gaining muscle

I workout 3 days a week, and do the same things every time: treadmill, elliptical, various weightlifting.

How much/often you exercise is really up to you. Just make sure that, in regards to weightlifting, you're not working the same muscle groups two days in a row.

Keep in mind I also walk my dog for about 20 minutes every day too - hopefully going to be closer to 30 mins or an hour once the weather warms up.

Hello, I work out 6 days a week. I make sure I lift weights for major muscle groups 4 days a week for at least an hour. As for cardio, I do 2 days of Turbo Kick, and the remaining 4 days, I do up to 45 minutes of either walking, elliptical, videos, running, yoga, or HIIT. So bottom line is that I work out 6 days a week, I vary with duration from 45 minutes to 2.5 hours, and I incorporate intense to light exercises to challenge my body.
