    I work out Mon. Tues. Thurs. and Fri. at the gym. I do 90 - 120 minutes with the elliptical, bike and treadmill. I was trying Zumba, but a bad knee injury has ruined that for me. No more lunges or squats :( I also do about 15 minutes on the resistance machines, I alternate legs and arms. On the weekends I try to get in a nice long dog walk.

    I run 3/4 times a week and I work in a bar 2 nights a week too. The bar...I know doesn't sound like exercise but it is! I get weight training in the sheer amount of times I'm loading and unloading the glass trays from the washer, the clean down at the end of the night is a pretty good burner too...and I get PAID for doing it!

    Doing the 30 day shred right now! So 7 days a week, I suppose.
    Perfect for me as it's intense and only 20 minutes long! (I'm a college student and working, so fitness is hard to fit in!)

    I can't really seem to get into running very much, and we can't afford a gym membership right now. So, we usually aim to exercise at least enough to burn the calories MFP recommends for the day. Usually that either means walking at the park, playing Wii Sports, doing a vigorous cleaning of the house, (which can take up a whole day), or playing tennis. Sometimes basketball or baseball.

    The last time we did a heavy cleaning of the house, I ended up burning somewhere around 1800 calories for the day. And Nich burned around 1600.

    I don't work out.

    My calorie burning comes from cleaning and cooking right now mostly.

    When I'm feeling better (been sick lately) I'll go back to hula hooping.

    I don't do it with any frequency or schedule, just evenings when I want to eat more.

    :wink:

    5-6 times a week currently.

    I make it a point to get to the gym once a day Monday through Friday. In that time I'm currently doing 4 heavy lifting days where I'll do a bit of cardio (10 - 15 min) when I'm done if I have time, and one heavy cardio day where I go for the gold for 45 minutes.

    Sometimes I'll hop on my spinner on weekend days if I don't have anything else going on, but that's mostly just to burn up extra calories.

    We have the Wii as well and right now with the "walk it out" game I am walking on average 6 or more miles a day. 60 minutes in the morning and 40 minutes in the evening. I have fibromyalgia and overweight (obese they call it) but with 30 years of back problems and not being able to move I can finally do it. In the last 6 weeks I am 16 pounds lighter and have made it hard for hubby to grab "love handles". lol
    100 minutes x 7 days
    plus housecleaning.......
    The walk it out is awesome I tried the wii fit and wii fit plus but was bored and not happy just jogging the same route all the time. With walk it out you build the island, find music (100 songs), walk to different songs some slow some that make you run. It is a great low impact exercise. I need to start to add a strength training in my day but have a lack of funds and not sure how to go about it. Good luck everyone. :heart:

    Usually 4.

    Monday is yoga and cardio.
    Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday are workout days, with a weight lifting program and some HIIT.

    Wednesday, Friday and Sunday are almost always rest days, though on the occasional Sunday I'll do cardio as I don't lift again until Tuesday. If I do workout on these days, it's low intensity cardio. I love my off days, and so does my body.

    Well, so far this week...

    M: 109 minutes walking (to the gym and back), 34 minutes strength, 20 minutes elliptical, and 30 minutes on the Curves circuit

    T: 30 Day Shred, levels 1&2 back to back, 16 minutes on the mini trampoline

    W: 40 minutes stationary biking (12.2 miles), 30 day shred, levels 1&2 back to back, 20 minutes on the mini trampoline

    planned for R: 20 minutes mini trampoline, 30 minutes stationary biking (minimum-depends on my son's nap), 30 minutes on the
    Curves circuit, and 30 Day Shred, levels 1&2.

    planned for F: 30 minutes on the Curves circuit, 30 minutes strength, 30 minutes arc, 30 minutes elliptical, and 30 Day shred, levels 1&2.

    I've been trying to lose my last 20 pounds for ever, so I'm doing a lot more strength and core muscle training than cardio. I used to do hardcore 90-120 minutes of cardio five or six days a week.

    I'm up to 5 days per week now, M-F. M/W/F I do a 45min walk/jog on my treadmill and T/Th I use the stationary bike for 30mins. When I get closer to goal I plan to get a gym membership so I can use the weight machines to tone up.

    I get in 3 cardio workouts of 60 mins each over 3 days in the week, sometimes get a fourth if I'm at home on the weekends but doesn't happen often.

    I'm just starting out, but I want to do atleast 30min of cardio a work day, either in the gym at my apartment (eliptical, treadmill or bike) or on my kinect in my living room (just ordered "your shape: total fitness 2012"). On my days off I plan on riding my mountain bike 1-2hrs depending on the weather.

    I work out 5 to 6 days per week. Monday through Friday this time of year, I go to the gym here at work every day. We have the usual cardio machines, nautilus and free weight available along with workout DVDs and I do whatever sounds fun that day, no real routine. In the summer, I try to get outside as much as possible for runs or walks.

    On the weekends, this time of year, I go to a gym near home and try to get at least an hour in. I've been doing about 30 minutes of cardio with 20 minutes of strength. They also offer classes so I'm hoping to try Zumba this weekend and maybe spinning once my busted toe heals. In the summer, I take one day and go for a long (about 2 hours) walk/run and either rest the other day or take a shorter walk.
