How Often R U Working Out?

[Leederz 49]

Currently I'm working out about 3-4 times a week, about an hour each session. Just wondering how often everyone else is? If I feel tired/sore should I just get up and go anyway or is 3-4 days enough to keep the pounds off? Thanks!

I work out every day. Most days I do half an hour of cardio on the bike, but every day I do my weights. Low weight, high reps. I keep my weights on top of my entertainment center, so every time I stop in front of the tv, I life some weights.

I work out 6 days a week with 1 rest day ( I really hate rest days ) I think its ok 4 days a week ,you can always increase it to 5 when your body gets more adjusted to it

I started out barely able to do 3 days a week. Now I'm up to 7 days a week and feeling marvelous darling! IMO, it's better to start slow and build up to it. Jumping in both feet first is a sure way to hit burnout in a hurry. I'm working on the mindset that this is a lifestyle change, not a diet or exercise "program". So, what I'm doing is working things into my daily routine and trying to make them permanent.

Start slow and build up to something that you know you can maintain long-term.

3-4 Days per week for working out is a great start. However... if you notice you're not sweating or breathing heavy during your cardio sessions then it's definitely time to bump it up. Longer, stronger, more often... on the flipside, if you are hurting too much or can't handle it then take it down a notch. Don't let this discourage you! Getting fit takes time and lots of patience.

Rule #1 for all workouts though is to stay hydrated! Rule #2 is take breaks in between if you have to. Good things can't be rushed. Rule #3 is to go at a pace where your pulse is raised and you're sweating, but not in pain.

I workout 6x per week and it seems to be around 2+ hours per day. I love it though! I do not advise this for anyone who is just starting out. I've been working out my whole life. I can also do far more intense workouts now that I'm not so heavy too. It's awesome!!

I work out 5 days a week, about 45 minutes to an hour. I do a mix of cardio walking with a group of friends and strength training in group exercise class. It's gotten me to goal and I'm maintaining without a problem.

Thanx for all the input. I ended up going today and surprisingly I feel much better

6 days a week now cuz I'm training for a 5K on top of my regular routine. Otherwise, it's usually 5. I usually go pretty hard, so my workouts are rarely over 30 minutes.

I do 6-8 hours a week. I do 4 hours in classes. Then 2 days I do 45 minutes on elliptical plus my circuit weight training. I feel better when I get A good workout.

I work out 5 days a week as follows for my triathlons. My long course swims are open Water swims of 1-2 miles depending on what I'm working on and the bike rides are 33 mile rides I have on a loop. Runs are not so much for distance but I'll do interval work (fartleks) to work on my speed. Your body just needs time to recover so it's best to let it rest completely.

Run - 45 minutes

Swim - 1 hour (Long Course) Off Swim - 1 hour (Long Course) Run - 45 minutes Bike - 2 hours Make-up Day

6 days a week and sometimes twice a day for an average of 90 minutes, but I've been in the military my entire adult life. You are doing great, we should strive to workout most days of the week. I agree with Lilmissdiva on hydration and starting off slow.

About 6 or 7 hours a week here. About 5 hours resistance (weights) and another 1-2 hours a week in HIIT cardio (3 to 4 half hour sessions).
