    I am aiming for 9 workouts a week right now but usually only averaging 7.

    3x running
    3x biking (usually only getting 2 a week)
    3x swimming (I'm only getting 1-2 a week though)

    I try to workout 5-6 times per week. At least one of those days is for yoga/pilates to help keep me feeling limber. Otherwise I'm doing cardio and weights, or just cardio at the gym. Never anything less than 30 minutes.

    Cardio 3 days a week for 90 minutes, strength 3 days a week for 60-90 minutes, Fridays off. More than one day off and I start losing motivation.

    I work out every day (except when I can't fit it in my schedule, like travel days), though some days I just do an hour of walking, and other days I'll do a mixture of stuff including cardio, weights, calisthenics. If I only have 30 minutes to work out I'll do something more cardio heavy.

    gym 3 times a week (usually MWF) - mixture of treadmill/elliptical/weights (currently swimming due to injury)
    volleyball 1-2 times a week (sometimes replaced by day hikes)

    => 4-5 times a week

    6 days a week. Some weeks I do 5 times in the gym and 1 long walk, other times I do all my sessions in the gym. Depends on how crazy my days are with work and dogs and kid and extra shifts :)

    6 days a week, 1-2 hours at a time. You can't over train, just under eat.

    I used to do 30 day shred, go on my elliptical around 5-6 times a week and went hiking, but have got a free 2 month membership at Les Mills which started before Christmas.

    Since then I have been going to bodypump three times a week, am now in week 8 of C25K (even did a 35min run the other day), have gone to body attack as often as my schedule allows (I work rostered and rotating)- sometimes I have gone 4 times in a week, this week I haven't managed any :(, and I have been going to around 2-3 CXworx classes a week. And walk the dog sometimes as well for 1 hour.

    I really enjoy going to Les Mills classes and will probably join up when my free membership finishes.

    Currently doing Insanity - so 6 days a week for that (x5 intense workouts and x1 recovery workout)

    I also top up with hiking, mountain biking etc at the weekends.

    Usually when I'm not doing Insanity, I'll do 5 "proper/hard" workouts a week and then several additional "fun" workouts.

    Heavy weight lifting 3x a week

    If I'm full of energy and time I'll do cardio on rest days at random, usually some fort of HIIT. The idea of sweating it out in the gym 5 times a week on cardio equipment is really silly to me! But I guess it works for those people.

    This^^^^ If I had to work out every day, I think I'd waste away to nothing, lol.
