    3 days. It has been 3 days of lifting for 1-1.5 hours, but I'm cutting that back to 2 days of lifting and 1 night of yoga while I'm working on fat reduction. Yes, that's right, working out LESS to reduce fat. ;)

    5-6 days a week, I try for 6. My body is pretty good at letting me know when it needs a rest day.

    I'm usually 6 days a week also. Sometimes I work out twice a day. Longest day total would be 90 min. Rest days are usually Sundays unless it's a beautiful day and I decide to go on a short walk

    Monday's. C25k Swim
    Tuesday's. Swim. Bike
    Wednesday. C25k. Swim
    Thursday. Swim
    Friday. C25k
    Saturday. Swim. Bike
    Sunday. Rest

    I know I need to fit some weights in...just trying to figure out where...

    lol lose some of the massive amounts of cardio and you'll have oodles of time ;)

    I do Qiqong (v. gentle) 20 mins a day, a wake-up stretch
    Monday: hour of iyengar yoga
    Tuesday: body defined class (weights/aerobics)
    Wednesday: off or pilates/yoga
    Thursday: treadmill and/or weights
    Friday: spin class
    Saturday: off or walking / jillian dvd
    Sunday: walking and/or jillian dvd

    I think the most important thing is to listen to your body. If you're achy, feeling tired all over and drained, it's time to take a day off. You'll be happy you did and then energized for the next day.

    6 days a week generally, although I recently had a 10-13 day stretch of cycling for 90-150 minutes everyday.
    I can't resist when the weather is so sunny outside.

    Theoretical:
    3 days of weight training
    3 days of Cardio
    1 day of yard-work for about 3 hours or so

    Actual:
    Usually get in about 5 days a week. Work travels mess with my theoretical goal.

    As often as I can or as time allows, I will try to walk our dog up and down our gigantic hills where I live for a half hour. I also try to do Zumba Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wenday and Saturday. My husband and I work opposite shifts and see each other after I'm done with work on Thursday and Friday so I usually don't get my workouts in on those days.
