    Every day. Just not the same type of workout. 5 days weight training. 2 days cardio. Also abs at least twice aweek

    I workout 7 days a week. My workouts vary. I normally workout at the gym doing cardio/weights. I like to mix it up and do other workouts as well; running, kickboxing, boot camp, etc... I also have equipment (free weights, kettle bell, Bosu ball, TRX) and DVD's at home that I do if I can't make it to the gym.

    I usually workout 4-5 times a week - Run 3+/- miles almost everyday - I have gotten to where I prefer to running over working out - I'm running my first 5k race next Sunday.

    3-5 times a week.
    3 of those are classes which I pretty regularly attend. The other two is weight training. Due to personal circumstances I have not been able to get those in reguraly. Hopefully after things calm down again after next week I can go back to five.

    Thanks for the replies. It's good to hear different people's views on how long they exercise/workout for. I aim for 5days per week but sometimes it has been 4. I do around 3/4 days cardio at the gym and the other 2days I do a toning dvd based on strength and toning.

    I go for a walk outside every day, no matter the weather. For about an hour, as close to noon as I can (for sun exposure). Really enjoy that; I get stir-crazy if I don't make it for some reason.

    Lift weights about every other day, so 3x a week.

    Then go sprinting once a week or so.

    5x a week in the gym plus walking every day and physical therapy 2x a week. My routine is about half strength training and half cardio for between an 60 minutes and 2 hours, depending on my schedule.

    Every day I'm not working and some of the days I do work. I take pole once a week, lift 3-4x week for about an hour, and run 3-4x usually between 2-4 miles.

    About 6x a week for me. Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays I lift at home. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my cardio days. I do about an hour, except on Saturdays where I'm at the gym and can spend up to two hours in there.

    Anywhere from 2-5x/week. I try to lift 3x/week (SL5x5), but if my schedule gets in the way it may only happen twice (currently monday, thursday, saturday). I play Ultimate in the summer and ski in the winter, so that is 1x/week. Since I'm between sports right now I'm trying to run 1-2x/week to increase endurance.

    5-6 days a week.

    I lift 4x/week and it takes anywhere from 45-75 minutes.

    I walk, and sometimes run, 2-3 more times a week for 20-30 minutes.

    I'm thinking of going back to lifting 3x/wk because I like walking/running 3x/wk but the 4x/wk lifting makes it hard to fit in the third cardio day.

    I try to stick with 4 times a week. The gym is just down the street so i have some issues under recovering (trouble staying out of the gym). Usualy go swimming once a week, and intervalls twise a week for some simple cardio.

    Will get back to boxing twise a week when my shoulder is healed.

    I walk 100k steps a week so that happens all over the map, usually getting in 2-3 60+ minute walks and lots of little 30 minute bursts. I take 3 60-minute classes: Zumba, kickboxing, and TRX. I do some body weight exercises now & planning to start free weights which will happen 2x per week, probably for 30-40 minutes. It's efficient because I can use the same shoes for everything and almost any comfortable clothing will work. And, I can see my YMCA from my front porch!
