How often do u workout?

5-7 days a week depending on how I feel. On Tue/Thur I have double days where I trail run before work and go to Jazzercize in the evening. The other days I lift 2-3 days and do heavy bag boxing workouts 1-2 days. Sometimes I split lifting then box after. Sometimes I add an extra run on Saturday’s - basically I’m very flexible with my training right now as long as I always make my Jazzercize classes and my StrongLifts women’s group Sundays.

I workout at home and my normal workout schedule is:

Monday: 3 mile run in morning; 45-60 minutes strength in afternoon
Tuesday: 45-60 minutes strength in morning
Wednesday: 3 mile run in morning
Thursday: 3 mile run in morning; 45-60 minutes strength in afternoon
Friday: 45-60 minutes strength in morning
Saturday: Long run in the morning (anywhere from 5-12 miles)
Sunday: Active rest day (I always shoot for getting at least 10,000 steps, so there's usually a walk involved)

I also try to hit up a Zumba class I really like one evening every-so-often.

Wow. Great dedication to working out/exercising. Congrats everyone. For me it depends on my goal. I usually switch between a bulk and cut. During a bulk I incorporate strength training 5-6 days a week with 15-20 min of HIIT cardio every day. During a cut strength training is 4 days a week with 2 cardio sessions per day of at least 30 min each time. Cardio may include kickboxing, cycling, running, rowing or the max trainer air bike.

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

I try to workout at least 3 days a week and 4 when possible. I do a combination of lifting weights and body exercises with occasional ab exercises added in once in a while and then cardio. Sometimes I will do a couple minutes of jump rope and then use the elliptical and other times I just use the elliptical for my cardio and I do anywhere between 25-35 minutes on the elliptical. Days that I feel tired or out of it and not in the mood I try to do at least something and if I don’t manage to do a workout then I will try to go for at least a 30-45 minute walk. I try to have 2 days a week off with little to no workout (walk is fine) to recover and not over do things.

One side note is that I do almost all of this stuff at home and workout in my basement. I have an elliptical and a set of weights. With the right mind set and amount of exercise you can infact get results without going to the gym. I have learned it is important to stick to a routine and try to do it every week whenever possible. My next goal is to add some exercises to my workout and change it a little bit as I have been doing the same basic exercises for the past few week which has been good, but it also might be good to add something new like a new exercise to my workout. Also, I tend to workout anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half at a time nothing crazy. It isn’t perfect I know, but its been a great starting point for me the past several weeks.

A funny thing happened. I started getting up early to work on mobility and rehab for shoulder surgery. 60 lbs overweight btw at that time. That turned into an hour, going from yoga and stretching to weights and rings before work. My goal or "carrot" for all this work was I wanted to join a boxing or Muay Thai gym. So now I've joined the gym, which is three nights per week of very hard workouts, and since the morning habit is etched into my sleeping patterns I still get up for that and do two strength days and three cardio days. So I'm getting a lot of exercise, but it just sorta happened to me.
I think if you force a morning routine, it will become natural soon enough and you'll be adding 5-7 workouts to each week without giving up your evenings.

I run every morning before work: 7 miles on week days and 10-12 miles on weekend days. Then, I strength training 4-5 times a week in the evenings.

I was doing 7 for awhile. Now 5/6 days

Be aware that when you ask "what's your exercise routine" on MFP, the folks who are proud of their routine and excited about it are more likely to reply, so the answers will skew toward the active side, (Nothing wrong with that, and it can be motivating, but it's something to be aware of.)

...worth repeating!

I do7 days a week alternate from running a 4k 5k and a 6k resting 45min between each run on Saturday I usually do 15-20 miles and Sunday I will do 8-10miles

I have a strength/cardio random routine with one rest day. I found more success with short frequent work outs as opposed to spending hours in a gym.

Put a pull up bar in your house and do one everytime you walk under it.

5 days weightlifting (following the PHAT programme).

I workout every day. Usually cardio video in the morning, and then I lift 2-3 days after work. I try to run on Sundays, and possibly 1 or 2 other days. I have pleurisy right now, so my workout schedule is totally different until it's gone. Mostly walking, yoga, and some body weight lunges/leg exercises.

Typically 4 days a week - jogging. I do have 3 young kids that I have 90% of the time so they keep me active all day.

5-6x a week
