    I work out 6x a week. 3 Mornings a week I hit the gym at 4:30 am. Saturday mornings I get there at 5:30 am and I go 2x a week at 6:30 at night to meet with a trainer. I love to work out early in the morning. I find I have a lot more energy all day long. I love working out with my trainer. I really feel like it's someone I'm accountable too outside of my family and friends. I know that his first question will be: "How's your diet?" and I really love that he pushes me to do things I don't think I can do, but he has faith that I can.

    I started out going 3x per week. Now I have upped it to 5 or 6x per week. I have found that I enjoy it and why keep myself from doing something I enjoy that is going to help me become healthier?

    Edited to add: I go in the evenings typically right after I get off work. On Saturday's I go in the morning about 9am or so.

    I go at night (around 9 or 10, after I've run out of every excuse not to go). How often depends on my mood, but I am aiming for 6 nights per week.

    6 days a week (sometimes 7, but one day is easier like yoga). Time varies, but usually not early in the morning as I can't seem to get to the level of intensity I usually do. And I try not to work out late at night because the adrenaline keeps me awake at night.

    About 6 days a week and it varies. This is my typical week:

    Sunday: 9am Hot Vinyasa yoga class
    Monday: 5:45pm Hot Yoga class
    Tuesday: after work (around 5:45/6) Run/ upper body weight day
    Wednesday: after work Cross training/lower body weight day
    Thursday: after work Run/upper body weight day
    Friday: REST
    Saturday: mid morning Looooong run day (I do this outside as often as possible)

    Although if I have something going on after work, like my son's t-ball practice or something, I'll drag my butt to the gym in the morning before work. I do not like those days (like today).

    About 6 days a week. Goal is to average 40 minutes a day (spreadsheet). Week days - after work / Weekends - AM

    Because I'm old & was out of shape....... no seriously if I want to maintain a weight loss (and NOT diet) for the rest of my life .... I NEED to exercise. I never thought I would look forward to regular exercise ... now I do!

    I run 4 to 6 times per week. On weekdays, I'll start between 4:30 and 5:30. On the weekends, I usually run before 10 AM so I don't have to deal with too much sun.

    I don't count my walking from work which I do 5 days a week. But I do at least 30 minutes a day everyday. Usually mid mornings. Cause kids at school and husband at work since I work evenings.

    I workout 5-7 days a week in the morning. If I don't do it first thing in the morning, then it's not going to get done! LOL
