    I workout 6 day a week. In the summer I run and then go to the gym at night. In the winter I do crossfit, yoga, weight lifting...pretty much everything to stay active :) for me it has become a lifestyle and I love how I feel when working out :)

    I workout 5-6 days/week, some days are double workouts. My original goal was weight loss but am now okay with my weight. I now focus on fitness goals for general health and to improve my performance. I workout for personal enjoyment and to constantly challenge myself. For example, I want to be strong enough to compete 5 shoulder width pull-ups by the end of this year; currently I can do 2.

    I take Krav Maga 3 days/week, strength train (full body compound lifts currently following a minimalist strength training program) 3 days/week, yoga 1-2 days/week, track sprints 1 day/week, cone/ladder/bosu speed/agility workout 1 day/week.

    Past 2 days have been 2 hour sessions...normally I do an hour but I've been eating a lot lately and it's given me a ton of energy to burn in the gym..it's actually nice. Rest days..well, it depends on how my body feels. If I feel like i'm not recovered enough, I'll take a day off..so it depends. Some times it's 6 days, sometimes no rest.

    I only lift weights and at the moment I'm trying to lose so I can start a bulk. Normally I'd lift 4 days per week but I'm no good at staying in a deficit on a 4 day split so I'm running 5x5, 3 days a week, until this nightmare is over. It takes me at least an hour to finish the program now.

    I'm training 5-6 days a week, typically 90-120 minutes but some sessions can run to three hours. All powerlifting training.

    My goal is simple - to find my absolute max limits while staying in my weight class.

    I do an hour Monday through Thursday (plus yoga on Wednesdays); weekends vary. Sometimes I'm out in DC browsing the zoo or museums or sight-seeing. If the weather's crappy or I don't feel like going out, I'll do about 90 minutes Saturday and Sunday (I almost always do yoga on the weekends as well). In the summer I'm almost always in the pool; in the winter it's cardio in the gym.

    It's been a HUGE lifestyle change for me. I used to be so sedentary, because I'm a big reader, and when I first started working out, I lamented the fact that I had less time to read. Now, it's become so routine, if I for some reason don't work out, I feel all wonky and off my groove. You really can form new habits, and stick with them!

    I lift 4 days a week. It takes me anywhere from 45 minutes to 75 minutes, depending on the workout. Then I walk 2-3 days a week too. The walks are anywhere from 20-45 minutes and I may or may not do some sprints in the middle of them.

    I work out a minimum of five times a week. I may have an off week where it's four or a super motivated week where it's 7... But I average 5.

    I wake up at 530 am and do a 30-45 minute workout before I have to get my daughters to school.

    I workout because I actually enjoy it and for maintenance. My ultimate fitness goal is to lose 20 lbs and I've changed my eating to achieve that. The exercise just supports my deficit.

    so this ^ i too get up at 6am, before the kids wake to do a 50 minute body combat class - i do this 4 or 5 times a week.
