    I walk my dogs everyday for at least an hour. On the weekends, i walk them a bit long just because I have the time. I play team sports two nights a week and I workout at home at least one other night a week. Then I hit it hard on the week-ends. So, walking, everyday. Workouts about 6x a week.

    I go to the gym M, W, F mornings at about 8:00am. I do about an hour with 30 minutes cardio and 30 minutes of weights. I try to walk the dog for about 20-30 minutes a day and on the weekends, I walk as much as I can :).

    Monday-Thursday I do it as soon as I get home (4:00 PM) Friday I do it mid morning before lunch. Saturday is my off day and Sunday I also do mid morning.

    I do 5 days a week, Friday and Sunday are my rest days.....unless one of my children gets sick on a work out day and then I drag myself to the gym Sunday afternoon :wink: I go in the mornings-not early say around 9ish get my work out in and then grab the kids out of the kid's room and send them into swim lessons. I found out very quickly, for me, if I wait until evening I never make it the kids have sports or need this and that and before you know it my pjs are on and I am watching Castle......crazy how that works. I also don't sleep well when I work out to late. My hubby is the opposite, he loves going right before the gym closes, the weight room is much emptier and he doesn't have to wait around for the machines. I say whatever works......as long as we are getting it done:wink:

    I work out 5 days a week (double workouts). I am doing the 30 day shred in the mornings (6am), and I do cardio exercises in the evenings at my local gym. I like doing my workout video in the morning, because it is quick and intense and I find that I have lots more energy throughout the day and I notice it helps with stress management throughout the day. I also like doing Cardio in the evenings because I workout with a partner and its great catch up and unwinding time.

    I exercise 5-6 days per week because I want to ensure with the weight loss that I am also toning up. Plus, I enjoy working out......okay, so sometimes I don't...but for the most part I do. I feel great afterwards!

    I work out mon-fri mostly cardio or sculpting 30 or 50 minute workouts, The time varies usually 4pm or 6pm when my energy is higher in that part of the day. If I work out in the am doing cardio im usually less involved. So pretty much better to do my afternoon workout when the energy is surging. sat and sunday I will go walking on the track @ 430am or 5am for maintenance, walking at a brisk pace for 30 minutes to and 1 hour usually makes me feel a whole lot better and plenty of fresh air.

    Depends on my work schedule. I work two half days/wk, one of those is always on Wednesday, but the other half day changes. For the month of February it's been like this:

    Monday (work 8:30am-1pm)--2ish-3ish (30min walk/jog/run with my cousin in the park, 20min swiss ball exercises/calisthenics, 10min stretching)

    Tuesday (work 8:30am-5pm)--5:30pm-7:30pm (15min elliptical, 15-20min strength training, 10min wave glider, another 15-20min strength training, 15min elliptical, 10-15min stretching)

    Wednesday (work 8:30am-1pm)--1:30pm-3:30pm (1 hr cardio circuit, 30--45min ball crunches, ball squats, calf raises, lunges, etc..., 10-15min stretching)

    Thursday (work 8:30am-5pm)--5:30pm-7:30pm (Same as Tuesday)

    Friday (work 8:30pm-5pm)--5:30pm-6:30pm, gym closes early on Fridays (1hr zone workout on treadmill, 10min stretching)

    Saturday (sleep in until around 8am)--8:30am-10am (Go to park for 30 min walk/jog/run, 45min swiss ball exercises/calisthenics, 15min stretching)

    Sunday--Rest/Recovery Day, so LOTS of sleep :yawn: :wink:

    During winter I go 5-6 days a week from 5am-7am. I alternate cardio and strength days, but some are classes which incorporate both. On Sat its a spin class from 7a-8a. Then sometimes I'll go again 1-2 evenings but only as time allows. Once spring arrives my world changes and I cant go nearly as often until fall comes back around. Then I do my own home workouts as I can fit them in plus biking and chores at our hobby farm (raising hogs). I also fish competative bass tournaments which is more intense than most people would think - I might wear my HRM monitor to a tournament just for fun!

    Usually:
    Mon-Thur. an hour of Jazzercise after work.
    Friday rest
    Sat. Jazzercise, Tai Chi and sometimes swim
    Sun. Weight training, Tai Chi and Jazzercise. (Sometimes walk 3 miles around a local park instead of Jazzercise)

    This is pretty average for now, I have memberships at both Jazzercise and a full service gym.
    I will retire soon and hope to add Yoga and more time at the gym. I'll definitely continue Jazzercise and hope to practice Tai Chi every day. I'll be 62 in June, but may stop working before that.:happy:

    Usually 6 days a week for 60-90 minutes, whenever I can squeeze it in (both my wife and I work and we have a 4 yr. old daughter, Olivia, who needs to be picked up from daycare). Mostly, it's between 11am-4:30pm on weekdays (walk at work), but weekends, usually in the late afternoon, when Olivia is napping. I take 1 day off per week, but it's not prearranged, it's based on when my body feels like it needs a rest.

    I go to the gym at 5:30 am M,W,&F and whenever I wake up on Sundays, usually around 8-9 am. I've been doing 30 Day Shred every day after work. Once I'm done 30DS, I plan on rotating through her other videos on my off days from the gym.

    I work out at least 6x....some weeks I get 7 days in. I listen to my body when it gets tired or needs rest from working out and those days I may get 1 day of rest in ...I love to workout and I like to get it done in the morning..It gives me a boost of energy and mentally and physically I feel better...I find myself dragging or putting off working out if I wait til the evening to get it in.. When I do 2-a days I set it up where its something thats not the bulk of my workout!

    I have a busy schedule - full-time job and grad school - so I just fit exercise in wherever I can. Usually:

    After work on Mondays, Tuesdays
    Sometime Wednesday (preferably morning)
    Before work Thursday
    Saturday or Sunday, if I'm not already doing something active (I'm blues dancing all this weekend!)

    I mostly run with some weights thrown in (training for a 10k), but my copy of 30 Day Shred is on its way to me soon!
