How many times do you work out?

I aim to do cardio 6 days a week (although this week thus far has been full of obstacles!) I go on the stationary bike or the elliptical for 45 mins, at varying levels of difficulty to keep it interesting.

I've also found that the time goes by faster when I'm distracted, so I've been watching Sons of Anarchy while i work out

I shoot for working out 6 days a week for an hour. 3-4 days I do Zumba, and 2-3 days I do 30 min of free step and 30 min of weights. On Mon-Fri I usually add 15 min of light calesthenics (desk pushups, resistance bands, squats/lunges wo weights, other stuff) twice a day on my breaks at work (30 min total).

On the weekends or after work in the summer we sometimes hike.

woooow that's impressive!

Is it? I always feel like I don't have time to do enough. Also, I don't always get the full hour 6 days a week. That's my goal each week but sometimes life gets in the way. :ohwell:

And my weights aren't very heavy (10-15 lbs) but my goal for 2012 to increase that a bit. I could increase it on some things now if I had heavier weghts. Hoping to pick some up this weekend.

I work out for an hour, three times per week, I use the treadmill.

I will be using my cycle to go to and from work as the weather improves, so that will be more exercise to add on, as that will be a total of 40 mins cycling per day.

Should be good for the old butt!!

I play roller derby so I have practice 3x a week for 2 hours, sometimes adding in a 4th open skate session to work on specific skills. I also do the Roller Derby Workout DVD (no skates required! great for lower body and abs) and other cross-training DVDs (Pilates, 30DS, etc) at least 2x a week and I run 2-3x a week. I take one day off a week for muscle recovery.

I fit in yoga when I can and I plan to skate a full marathon in July, so there will be more endurance skating as that gets closer. I've skated up to 14 miles already.

6x a week. 1-2 hrs.

Mon: Zumba class for 1 hr. then lap pool swin for 30 mins
Tues. Lift weights 1hr and then jog/walk for 30 mins
Wed. nothing. a rest day for me
Thurs. lift weights 1hr then jog/walk for 30 mins
Fri: jog/walk 1 hr
Sat. jog/walk 1hr w/hills and stairs
Sun: lift weights 1 hr.

I been doing monthly 5K races. still haven't been able to complete a 5K w/o walk breaks but I am working my way up there.

I train in my gym one hour in the morning (weight training / core) one hour at lunch (cardio) and 2 hours at night at my MMA club. I do this Mon-Fri.

It always inspires me to push harder when I hear how much other ppl work out
Now I'm adding some cardio to my workout so
at the gym I do a 20min HIIT run, lift some weights for 30min and then do 20min interval on the elliptical
I'd love to know how often other people work out? And what do u do?

Thanks!

ps. also, (i feel a bit silly always adding this but I guess MFP's the right place:P) I started a fitness blog last week now that I'm starting my weight loss journey again (already lost some, gained some and now I'm working to get n shape for summer!) http://healthbeautyanddiscipline.blogspot.com/

No offense, but if you're doing 30 minutes of weight training and 20 minutes of interval training right after HIIT, then you aren't really doing HIIT. HIIT means max effort, and you shouldn't have energy to do anything else if it's done right.

I work out 3-4 days a week. 3 days of heavy barbell training a week, and then maybe one cardio day a week.

In general I do 90 minutes of cardio with 30 minutes of resistance 6 days a week.

I rest resistance Tuesday and cardio every 10 days or so.
My resistance is lower weights but high reps, then heavy every 3rd workout.

I work my full body.

I do a lot of weird things for cardio like military march, boxing type training,
dancing, floor rolls, squat thrust intervals and the good ole jumping jack.
And I jog, swim, play tennis, fast walk and bike.

Lost 64lbs and nearly 20% body fat - it works for me.

Diet
It was a hard leap for me as well, but after my first initial 30 lbs, I stalled, then did what any disciplined and determined person would. I starved myself. And that worked too for a season, but I was losing lean body mass too much.

Long short? I increased calories to almost 3000 to account for my activity level, exercises and other variables, and I thought NO WAY! I was eating less than half that....

Out of the 65 lb total weight loss, half of that resulted from a higher calorie diet but slightly restricted with enough of a deficit to reflect a 1lb weekly weight loss.

It worked!

And today I have a mere 10 lbs to go, eating around 3000 daily [except on rest days], losing 1 lb each week like clockwork.
If your input is right, all will be well.

Good Luck!

four to six times a week. i aim for 2-3 strength days, and 2-3 cardio days a week, all on alternating days, i.e. no strength training on consecutive days.

remember, muscle builds on your rest days.

3 TRX training classes per week plus running 4-5 times per week.

I love the gym that I go to but I need to vary things to stop myself getting bored. I go to Zumba twice a week, Total Tone once, swimming once, and to the actual gym area once or twice a week where I use an Arc trainer and the resistance machines.

I just started back my diet/exercise/lifestyle change last week, but I am doing, 30 minutes on the treadmill 6 days a week. I usually take Sunday off. I'll work up to 60 minutes eventually.

MWF: 50-60min of weights, 20-30min core, 20min stretch.
TR: 30-35min elliptical, 15-20min bike, 20-30min core, 30+ min stretch.
R: 90min pole class (after the hour practice), includes core and upper body conditioning, stretching, and of course dancing.

MRU: 60min pole practice (don't always make all of these, but make most of them).
T or S: Hour extra pole class, generally with a focus on cardio rather than tricks.

I also walk about a mile commuting to and from work 3-4 days a week.

* R = Thursday, U = Sunday.
