I'm wondering this b/c I still want to remain active and be able to reach my goals I have set but at the same time I don't want to over do it.. I plan on going to the gym today after work with my hubby and then go home to do my 30D Shred... I've gone to the gym every day this week and started 30D shred on Tuesday...Would it be terrible if I didn't workout as hard on the weekend as I do during the week?? I still plan on going on walks/jogs with my pup and doing my 30D shred video, just not planning on going hard core like I do during the week...

    I am doing p90x which has 6 days on and a rest day. After this though, I plan to go back to 5. Which seems to be a lot better for my energy and muscle recovery.

    I think its different for everyone, just listen to what your body is telling you. This week I've been working out 45 min in the AM & PM and I've been feeling great. I've worked out everyday since Sunday. Last week I wasn't feeling great and hardly worked out at all.

    Keep up the good work with your workouts and your consistency.

    Once-upon-a-time I could fit work-outs into only 3 or 4 days per week. Then, about 4 years ago, I ramped that up to 7-days-per-week. In the last 6 months, my work has (again! and happily...) exploded and I'm only able to work-out 3-4 times per week.

    If I had my 100% way, all the time, I think 6 days a week would be perfect, with one day off. But, for now, the best I can do is 3-4 times and, some weeks, I'm only managing 2 work-outs. I remind myself "that is better than zero" - and I also remind myself to seriously manage my caloric intake on the days I cannot get my work-outs in.

    6 days a week, cardio and strength training (60-90 minutes each of those days).

    7 days a week on a good week... 5 days on a bad week.... Well, I count it as 5 if I miss two days of cardio, but I still do some type of workout a min of 6 days a week. I am planning to add a second workout to my days. I've been slacking the past two weeks. Gotta get my butt in gear! It isn't going to lose itself!

    I have every Friday off, unless its a Sunday Race and I switch to Saturday. And have another day off if I feel I need when energy levels are low

    I used to workout 7 days a week for 60 mins. Then I ended up with injuries from pushing my body too hard and not allowing it to rest. I switched to 5 days a week/60 mins. Now that I am in maintenance, I only go 2-3 times a week for 60 mins each time. I just came off an entire month off from ALL working out to allow illness and injury to completely heal. I'm easing back into it and only going 1-2 days/60 mins until I get my stamina back up.

    Our bodies need a rest day, so I would definitely recommended taking at least 1-2 days off during the week.

    I workout 6 days a week. Even on my "rest" day, I still get in some exercises. I am doing 30 DS right now, so I am working out everyday at this point.

    Right now everyday, but once I finish 30D Shred I will be back to 3 to 5 times a week allowing my body time to heal andmuscles to relax so that progress is always being made with each workout. :)

    I'm just getting started with exercise, and my doc said work out more days of the week than not. So that means at least 4 days a week of cardio. On the days I don't do cardio, I usually do some type of strength training with small weights. I've been averaging 2 to 3 lbs. weight loss a week. I also stay under my calorie goals most days and usually eat back at least some of those exercise calories.

    I workout every day.
    I do cardio kickboxing + a kickboxing training class 5 days a week + the gym
    then the other 2 days... I do the gym + something else (sometimes the JMs 30DS)
    and I'm always walking.
    every once in a while I add in the moutain stairs (but due to the weather change it's a little hard)
    If I don't workout 7 days a week I feel guilty :grumble:
    lol
