    3 days of lifting
    3 days of running followed by sprint intervals
    1 day cycling (I consider this a recovery workout)

    That's when I do what I'm supposed to do. I usually miss a workout or two. I try to average 90 minutes a day including warmup, cooldown and stretching.

    I go to the gym 5 days a week, once for personal training, 3 treadmill classes and 1 strength class. Always there is more exercise on top of these set things, usually cardio, even on treadmill days.

    I also take tai chi classes 3 times a week, two of them fall on "off" days. They are not huge calorie burners, but they are a different kind of physical and mental discipline.

    4 days a week. I try to do the elliptical trainer 3 days out of the four. I also do spinning on Saturday mornings and some weight training and a yoga classes during the week. I prefer the classes because for me it is better to work out with a group of people and the instructors guide you. :happy:

    Most days. I do strength training 2 days on, 1 day off. Indoor cycling (quite tough effort) maybe 5 days a week. Walking or a light Wii workout almost daily, but with a day off here and there if I feel I need a break.

    I don't have a regime, but pay attention to my body and my mood. Exercise can energise me but sometimes I don't have the energy for it.

    I *never* used to exercise at all, not until I reached my 30s when I stopped being naturally skinny, so this is a big shift in attitude for me.

    ETA oh and I used to do a light swim every weekday morning, but my local pool shut long-term for major renovation. I really miss it.

    At the moment 6 days a week, very intense, one hour (or 55 mins) a day. When my current boot camp finishes, I'll be doing 3 times a week, plus the 30DS to fill in my off days.

    I'm really moderate about the exercise and have been the whole way. Generally, I walk/run 3 times a week, usually 20-30 minutes. Once in awhile I use my Pilates Reformer and Rebounder (usually if it's too rainy to run outside).

    However, I walk a fair amount every day because I have a dog and because I do some dogwalking for other folks.

    I'm going to have to add some strength training in here soon though.

    4x week for 30 min-1 hr . The other 3 days I'm working a 12 hr shift, so while I'm not officially "exercising" I am on my feet most of the time and doing some heavy lifting while transferring patients... and occasionally getting a REAL workout... doing CPR or having a patient tell me they're going to punch me in the face (which got my heart rate up and stayed up for about 30 minutes I was so f*ing pissed)

    I usually only do 5 days (mon-fri) but on a perfect week I fit 7 x 50-60min sessions in those 5 days. There is usually some walking around on the weekends with my family too.

    I'm stupid. I over work. I work out 6 days a week and lift 6 days a week. I lift first then do some type of cardio.

    I aim for five days but may only get in four. Right now, I try and do boot camp three times a week (one hour class). Then cardio/weights (30 min each) two times a week.

    I have NOT had a day off since Christmas day of "2009". My day off is a slow walk for how far I feel like going. Usually 2 miles!

    I workout six days a week, anywhere from 1.5-2.5 hours a day. The most intense is when I workout with my trainer, or do a high cardio day. One day a week I bike anywhere from 15-25 miles, or walk 4.5 miles through hills, and then free weights. I haven't burned out yet, but if I ever need an extra day off, I take it.
