I go three times a week or 4 at the most. Just curious how often others go.

    Wow!!! That’s great that you can do that. I need to go at least 4 times a week but my energy level is not there yet. I also love to jog outdoors, more then going to the gym. Trying to tone up and loose some weight.

    Generally I exercise every day, most common pattern is three days a week strength training and four days cycling.
    Depending on how you define "workout" then three or seven I guess?

    The "go" part varies as most of my cycling is outdoors not in the gym.

    I don't think of all of my exercise as workouts, some of it's just being more active in general but generally:
    • Cycling to/from work (3km each way) 1-2 times per week
    • Walking to/from work 3-4 times per week
    • Lunchtime walks when weather permits
    • Rowing (Traditional Irish Currachs) 2-3 times per week
    • Strength Training 2 times per week
    • 10-15 min Yoga 3-4 times per week
    • Occasional Pole Dancing Classes/Hiking/Swimming

    I strength train (with a short metabolic conditioning workout right after) 3x per week. I also do a daily brisk walk with the dogs, usually a couple miles, except on my one really long work day.

    It's one of the many good things about exercise that the more you do the more you can do.

    I generally exercise seven days a week in one form of another. Five days of weightlifting (always), one day of running or hiking, yoga a few times a week and two mile lunch walk most work days.

    Between running, rowing and cycling pretty much every day, quite often 2 workouts. I'm in week 3 of a half-marathon training play (race is late May) which has me running 4 or 5 x weekly, Concept 2 has a rowing challenge this month (row 5,000m on 25 out of 31 days) and I try to ride 3 or 4 times weekly to keep up my bike fitness as triathlon season is also fast approaching.

    I also try to be active daily. My gym workouts are 2-3x per week, other days I will hike, snowshoe or trail run.

    If I'm not doing purposeful exercise I may be playing or having dance party with my granddaughter or helping my daughter with her home build. Even on a rest day I usually walk or practice yoga.

    I "work out" six times a week but my seventh day will be something like a half hour of yoga and a long walk, or a really long walk, or a day of yard work or something. Less formal and less impact, but still active. Right now I'm running Monday/Wednesday/Friday, and doing light strength work and machine cardio in between.

    4-6 days a week. It varies by what I am doing and how I feel.

    Currently I am doing Strong Curves Booty-ful Beginnings 4 days a week and a rotation of Jillian DVDs 4-5 days a week. Wednesday and Sunday are rest days where I might do some stretching, foam rolling and/or a casual walk. Saturday is cardio or rest depending on how I feel.

    I workout 5-6 days a week. Monday to Friday I take classes of a Martial Art called Krav Maga. Those classes are 90 minutes and I usually go 4 of the 5 days, taking one day as a rest day. Then on the weekends I workout one or both days. Either at a traditional gym for weight lifting or outside doing things like hiking, running stairs, etc.

    I work out in a small group with a trainer doing mostly HIT style workouts at least 3 days a week, trying for 4. The days I dont do that I walk or do an in home work out or go to the gym and get at least 30 minutes of something in.

    "workout"...2x per week lifting in the gym with a simple full body program. I exercise most days though...mostly cycling and walking my dog. I also do quite a bit of recreational activity like rock climbing, hiking, swimming, shooting hoops with my boys, throwing the football around, etc. I mostly just try to stay active...I'm not really into any crazy "workouts" or anything. I pretty much do some form of physical activity 7 days per week; however, I tend to be less active in the heart of winter and start picking up about this time of year as the weather gets nicer.
