    6 days a week M-S. Sunday is my rest day.

    No particular reason why 6 days other than I really enjoy working out.

    I do 3-4. Running 5/3/1 BBB 3 month challenge currently. The heavy 5x10 accessories require me to get a fair amount of rest. I used to do a 5 day program but I'm noticing much better results with wendler

    Pretty similar for me.
    I was trying to do 5-6 days per week and felt like crap.
    I'm now doing 5/3/1 four days per week, joker sets and low rep BBB sets and upper/lower split for accessory work.
    Usually takes me about two hours per session. It's nice to have more rest days and a few extra evenings to spend at home rather than at the gym. I feel better recovered and have better workouts.

    4 days a week of moderate/intense workouts and then I will take a 5th day to just do some light cardio. The other two days are active rest of just light walking.

    Crossfit-like Gym: 3x a week, Yoga 1x. Then Troupe Rehearsal at the dance studio 1x Week. Additional dance time if I'm prepping for a show or working on a new solo as needed (next week starts 7 days a week!)

    Only once a week to use a Stairmaster and the steam room and/or sauna and only because it's free to me under Medicare+.

    No need to go to a gym otherwise. Have a full weightlifting "gym" in my garage, a Lemond spin bike and Concept rower in my house and a basic Crossfit setup (tractor tire, power sled & battle ropes) in my backyard.

    Work out using this equipment at least 5 days a week and my body reflects that.

    Your house sounds super badass.

    I go to the gym before work on M/T/W/F with Thursday as my normal rest day. Usually cardio/strength/cardio/strength but sometimes I do extra cardio on Fridays instead. On the weekends I either do absolutely nothing or do an extra long work out on one of the days. I'm mainly just trying to maintain my body so I don't see a difference based on my lack of work outs but I do see differences based on how much I eat/drink, lol.

    Physical activity is important for me for losing and maintaining weight loss. It is also important to me for regulating sleep, mood, and anxiety which are all important for regulating appetite and eliminating food cravings. I play tennis 2x/week, racquetball 1x/week, and walk all other days, weather permitting (no thunderstorms, snow storms, etc). My walks are 20-30 minutes, my strength work outs (2x/week) are about 30 minutes. At this point, I don't need more for weight loss and regulation. I may increase my activity level a bit more in order to be more fit to play tennis better.

    I go twice a week. I get free access to the gym at my school but I'm only there twice a week ( the 30min commute makes going on off days not worth it). I haven't noticed much difference. I mean, I can jog a quarter mile now before I have a cramp. But I'm still new at it.

    I usually train six days per week. I mostly use a bodybuilding style bro split which includes one heavier compound lift per day.

    7 days at gym/pool

    5 days swimming
    3 or 4 days lifting (mix of BodyPump and weights machines)
    Some classes Thurs and Sat
    Sunday is Pilates

    Unfortunately my gym doesn't have squash courts, so that's a trip elsewhere
