How many days a week do u work out?
I am currently working out 6 days a week but it is so difficult to keep up that momentum being a Ftwm. I need to feel less guilty. Please tell me how many days you work out. Thanks

How many days a week do u work out?
I work out 5-6 days a week, but it isn't a hardcore work out. I might do a 20-25 mile bike ride on the weekend and then 5 1-hour walks. I'm trying to do c25k, but I have so many foot problems, despite being fitted for running shoes.

Re: How many days a week do u work out?
I aim for 6 days a week, however it often is 4-5, sometimes even 3. I ALWAYS get at least 3 in but anything more depends on the week. These past 3 weeks I have done 4, 4, and 5, and I've lost 4 lbs. 6 days is great, but IMO not necessary. Or, if I can't get a full work out in I'll do some stuff at home to get myself moving - maybe some weights, squats, push-ups and sit-ups. Pinterest has some fantastic at home workouts for that kind of thing.

Re: How many days a week do u work out?
Right now I am on maternity leave, but I am a FTWM also and can only fit in 4. Well, I could fit in more if I got up at the azz crack of dawn more days, but I value sleep too :) I'll be happy if I can maintain 4 times a week during my leave.

Re: How many days a week do u work out?
I do yoga 3 times a week and walk several miles everyday (we live in the city). I also ride my bike on the weekends.
ETA: Oh! I also run a few miles a couple of days a week.

Re: How many days a week do u work out?
All I can manage is 4-5x, 30 min each time. I also go for brisk walks at lunch for 10 min, climb the stairs, do squats, leg lifts, etc at home even if it's just a few minutes.
I don't need to lose weight so this is for heart/health and to say in shape/toned. I do have to watch what I eat so I don't gain.

Re: How many days a week do u work out?
I work out 3-4 days, and then the other days, I get exercise from commuting to work (lots of stairs and walking).
I think if you keep active on your off days, it is fine to do less than 6 days. I have never been able to keep that up.

I worked out 4 days this week. I took Thursday off and meant to go yesterday and was much too tired after a trying week at work. Instead, no joke, I came home, had some wine and cookies. I never do that. I don't feel fantastic about it but it happens.
For the month of September I was working out 3 days a week because of all the Jewish holidays. I lost 4 lbs that month. Don't beat yourself up!!! Do what you can, make your workouts count, and try to be more active in your daily life (walk a bit more, go up and down the stairs an extra time, etc.) Do NOT compare yourself to other people. Do what works for you!!! And be proud of it.
I love this saying: even if you are running a 15 minute mile, you are lapping everyone on the couch. I think this applies to working out 3-4 days, too: you're still doing a lot more than many people! But, like I said, don't compare, do what works for YOU!

Re: How many days a week do u work out?
I hate that I've been so busy and it gets so dark, so soon. I do two longish runs on Sat-Sun and I'm trying to push myself to do one weeknight.
I used to be 5-6 days, but I am working too much right now. Hoping it will slow down soon.

Re: How many days a week do u work out?
You girls are awesome! I take Zumba twice a week. I really need to motivate and get in the gym at least 1-2 times more each week.

 I was thinking the same reading how much everyone works out.
I run 2x.week and take a zumba class 1x/week right now.
This time of year, we do a lot of walks after dinner and some hiking on weekends though.

Thanks for this thread. It motivated me to run after work today - even though it was after 7 - it can still be done!

Re: How many days a week do u work out?
It is difficult to work out everyday. You need to have discipline. I just got 3 days a week of work out.
