    Typically 5 days a week. I usually take the weekends off.

    I try to work out 4-5 days a week. It depends on how late I leave work as to whether or not I go to the gym. I have a treadmill & lots of videos at home, so if I can't make it to the gym I'll do either of those at home.

    I go to the gym 3x per week to lift weights. After lifting, I run about 4.5 miles on the treadmill. Total workout time for the gym trips is about 90-100 minutes. Also one other day of the week I run outside for about an hour. So for me 4 workout days, 3 rest days each week. And about 5.5-6 hours spent exercising each week.

    I was doing taekwondo 4 days a week & working with a personal trainer 2 days a week..and I would sometimes take a rest day or do a workout dvd on the 7th day ( 30DS/Jackie Warner/Taebo..stuff like that).

    I recently mixed things up to Taekwondo 4 days a week (M,W,F,S) and bootcamp (M,W,F mornings)..unfortunately that is the only time slot I could do bootcamp..so that is freeing up a few days a week but I find I really need my rest day now..and the other 2 days I am doing a workout video or just getting out and walking.

    Just curious
    How many days a week do you go to the gym?

    Do you workout outside of the gym? In addition or in replace of the gym....

    How long do you work out for?

    I try to go there as many times as I can, but I just cannot get myself there every day. I am just wondering what other people do.....

    I found it interesting that the people who replied are extremely active. :smile:

    Not everyone is that active, so don't feel bad if you aren't making it to the gym every day. The way that I see it is if you are increasing your activity level, you are on the right track.

    Personally, I have only been working out consistently for about 2.5 months. Before that, it was not a consistent thing at all. For the past couple of months I have been working out 6 days/week. Sunday is my rest day. I am in week 3 of P90X/Turbo Fire hybrid, and I love it. There's just no way I can get to the gym, so this is something that I can do from home, and the routines are very motivating for me.

    Anyway, everyone is different. We just have to figure out what works for us and then do it! :smile:

    I'm on my feet four hours a day five days a week at work, shifting boxes, running around after customers, heading up and down stairs... retail is a hell of a work out in itself!
    Then I try and do 30 minutes walking about 4mph on the treadmill every day
    Two/three times a week I have roller derby training for two hours each time
    In between those I alternate between a pilates DVD and a workout designed to build the core muscles used in roller derby.

    So I attempt to do at least 30 minutes every day, more 5-6 days a week

    Thanks for saying that, I was feeling really lazy, I like what you said about focusing on increasing the activity, this is what I need to do.
