    I don't exactly work out but I do more exercise a week than I ever used to.
    I have to take the bus to work and after getting off the bus, I walk for 25-30 minutes to my work place, same again going home but in reverse.
    I try to do a couple of 30 minute walks at the weekend too. I don't power walk or anything but even going at a slow/dog walking pace is still burning calories.

    But oh dear, maybe I should've read all the other posts before I admitted to my 'exercise' regime lol
    Hey ho, every little help!

    I do 6-7 days a week

    Monday- Les Mills Group Fitness Class- BODYATTACK (High Intensity Intervals Training)
    & Pilates Group Fitness
    Tuesday- BODYATTACK class
    Wednesday- 3-5 mile run
    Thursday- 3-5 mile run
    Friday- BODY ATTACK
    Saturday- Les Mills Group Fitness (either Spin or Dance) or Rest
    Sunday- Long Run 6-8 miles

    The classes keep me at the gym. I hate to miss a class and I know I have to get my runs in so I end up with a pretty full workout schedule. But when life gets in the way and I need to miss a day, I have no guilt because I know I've got a plan.

    I usually do 5 or 6 but never less than 4 unless I'm really busy. I try and do at least 20 minutes of good cardio. I do Zumba, the Just Dance games and hula hooping! When it's warmer I bike but it's not so warm here right now!

    I actually work out six...I'm a runner, so running comprises most of my training regimen...

    Mondays - Body Attack (an intense 60 minute cardio and strength class) at the gym.
    Tuesdays - Easy Run OR Tempo Run (if Wednesday is a hill workout)
    Wednesdays - Speed or Hill work (alternating weeks)
    Thursdays - Body Attack (45 minute format, plus a few minutes on the treadmill, usually)
    Fridays - Easy Run
    Saturdays - Rest OR Long Run
    Sundays - Rest OR Long Run (depending upon whether I ran or rested on the Saturday)...

    That's pretty much my typical routine. Occasionally I'll take an extra day off, but usually it's 6 days a week. I love it! :)

    I work shift work so I fit in workouts on whichever day suits. I generally do 3 gym sessions of 40 mins crosstrainer/threadmill/erg combo then 2 days of swimming 40 lengths and some weights.

    Couch 2 5k 3x week
    Walk at least 60 minutes on Nordic Track 3-4 days
    Jillian Michael's 6 Week 6 Pack 2x week

    I juat started the Jillian DVD this week. I'm on week 4 of the Couch 2 5K (not getting any easier)! I try not to take any days off because I know I would feel bad about myself if I did. Its weird to go from a "sit on thecouch everynight & watch TV" kind of gal to a "I've gotta get some kind of burn in everyday" kind of person!

    I try to be active everyday but I work out about 5 days a week.
    Mondays- 60 Min Body Pump Class 60 Min Gym (Cardio+Strength)
    Tuesdays-Gym 60 Min, Rec Volleyball 90 Min
    Wednesdays- 60 Min Body Pump Class 60 Min Gym (Cardio+Strength)
    Thursdays-Volleyball 90 Min (Sometimes I do gym as well, depends)
    Fridays-I usually do a run or hit the gym for 60 mins
    Saturdays-I usually take them off!
    Sundays-Sometimes I do a run, especially if I didn't Friday.

    This is rough because I don't have a set schedule at work. It changes every week but I try to work out least 5 times, even if its just a session of volleyball - gotta keep moving. :)

    4 days for me:

    Sat - Chest/Tri's/Core
    Sun - Legs
    Tues - Shoulders/Traps/Core
    Thurs - Back/Bi's/Calves

    When I switch from bulk to cut I'll throw a couple of cardio days in on the off days.

    I do a zumba toning class on mondays, 25minutes of cardio (stairmill or similar) + weight training (upper body or lower body))on Tuesday, 25 minutes of cardio + weight training on Wed., Zumba on Thursday, zumba or 25 min. cardio on Friday, Body pump on Saturday, Sunday either zumba, downhill skiing, or another class.

    I will have days here or there once a week where I skip my workout. It depends on how I'm feeling or what is going on in my life. I just took an athletic conditioning class and that may become a regular sunday morning thing if I don't go skiing. It involved circuits,strength sets, cardio exercises, etc. It was a full body workout with both strength and cardio components.
