    Six days a week, usually alternating strength training and running, weather permitting. I only run outside, and I won't run if there's heavy snow or ice, cold rain (warm rain is wonderful) or temps below 20. My love of running doesn't trump my hatred of being cold.

    Daily

    Sunday - long run (10+ miles)
    Monday- RPM (spin class)
    Tuesday- short run (4-6 miles)*
    Wed- Body pump (weight class)
    Thursday- training session (TRX, HIIT, cross fit or Tabata)
    Friday- med rum (7-9 miles)
    Saturday- training session (TRX, HIIT, cross fit or tabata)

    *every two weeks I do yoga as active recovery.

    Edit- That being said I will listen to my body and if I am not feeling it then I will take a day off.

    6. 3 days lift, 3 days run. I try to keep it regular but it'll sneak an extra rest day in as need and just dump a rest day as needed.

    5 or 6 generally.

    MW --> Strength Training Circuit class 45 min
    TTh -- > 1hr Cardio (running/erg or if it's nice cycling outside)

    Sunday --> Pure Barre (55 min)

    I try to get in a yoga class on either Friday or Saturday as well. But that's the one I'm most likely to skip, tbh.

    Every single day, sometimes twice a day.

    Days off completely only happen post-races. My "rest day" always has at least some core strength training.

    I try to hula hoop for at least 15 minutes every day on top of my normal walking around. I've never been great about getting to gym, but I can hula hoop in my room and it's the first exercise I've really enjoyed enough to want to do it all the time.

    4-6 times a week, a combination of swimming, cycling, running, strength training, and yoga.

    Six days a week. Weights on three or four days with like 20 minutes on the treadmill or arc trainer to warm up first.

    On non-weight days I do longer cardio like running in the park, long bike ride, or inclined treadmill.

    (I just order Power 90. It is arriving next week.)

    I was working out about 3-4 times a week at my gym at work. Now I joined a gym near my home so now I work out about 3-6 times a week

    5-6 days a week, resting ALWAYS on SUNDAYS. My workouts are usually Cardio/Bodyweight circuits or multiple short HIIT/Tabata workouts throughout the day. Minimum 30 minutes a day up to 45-60. I focus more on quality vs quantity for my workouts. I don't have time to do hours of workouts a day so I make sure my 30 or so minutes are me giving 100% effort.

    I work out 7 days a week. I usually try to build in one rest day off the bicycle every few weeks, but that day often gets filled with a swim, paddle or other cardio exercise.

    mmm. That depends on my work schedule. One of my jobs is unloading 20-50lb boxes, barrels and other things and stocking them which is pretty physical (At least for someone of my nature) to begin with. Since My heart rate goes super high on that job and I am far more sore that when I do work out or lift weights, I usually do an hour of kickboxing every day that I don't work there. It ends up being about 3 times a week. I do take a day off here or there if I feel especially sore or crappy.

    Weight training with a cardio warm-up 2-3 days a week, long distance cross-country run or hike on Sundays, whatever I feel like the rest of the days...sometimes just couch surfing.

    As the weather warms up, there will be more physical activity - backpacking, kayaking, etc...anything outdoors will do. B)

    I can't wait to get back on my kayak! Wintertime in HI means high surf in Kapolei. Another month and I'm going to go crazy ;)

    Formal working out (usually a fitness class or two) about 5x a week. Days off - a stretch class, if the weather permits, riding my bike (which I would do on active days as well), walking to errands.

    Rome wasn't built in a day, but they worked on it every day. I exercise every day.
