I was looking at my data, and see that I am averaging between 10-13 times per month over the course of the past three months, and consider that to likely be consistent year over year. With that said, I'd like to get to 17-20, which got me thinking and led me to ask the question.

Consistently not enough

Generally 6 days per week unless I'm sick, injured, etc.

It's therapeutic for me and I'm in a better mood when training regularly.
Consistency: It's only a virtue if you're not a screw-up.

After a decade plus just walking/hiking, I started working out (rower plus some running) in June. Was probably averaging 4 days a week last year. Goal this year is 5-6 days a week, even if just 15 min a day.

Some sort of resistance training 5-6 days a week. Peloton bike 1 day.

I'm far more likely to be wound tight if I don't make time for it every day.

About 2 years ago I finally came to the realization that 3x a week was not sufficient. Bc sometimes that was 2x a week. And sometimes 1x

So I committed to 5x a week lifting, with 3x a week running. Two days are 2-a-days. Only 1 day off a week. Going on 2 years now.

3-4x a week lifting depending on program, walk the other days. Occasional rest day depending on what life throws at me.

Every day. I workout at the gym six days a week and do a 2-3 mile power walk on my one non-gym day.

historically 5-6x a week. 2023 was off and on because of injury. several months off at the beginning and end of the year, and I'm trying to work myself back into at least 4-5x a week going forward.

Old age and old knee injuries are beginning to slow me down. The war against it has begun.

0-7 days a week.

Honestly though, if I'm healthy I'm doing 6 days a week.

When motivated, every day in some fashion or another - stationary bike 5x, lift 5x, dog walk 7x (weather permitting). It's the motivation that's the tricky part.

Upper/lower split twice a week, so total of 4x a week at the moment.

Almost every day. Sometimes I take a rest day on Sunday's. Usually 45 minutes to up to 2 hours depending on what the coach has programmed and what I am training for.

Recovering Ironman here. Back during full on training it was like 12+ workouts / week.

Currently averaging 4ish days / week.

5 days a week of either lifting or playing basketball for at least 1 hour.

Usually 4 lifting days and one basketball day, but sometimes I lift 5 days.

What I consider working out? 5 days a week or so between weights, cardio, or whatever. Moving around doing things like taking the dog on a few mile walk, playing wall ball or whatever with the kids? 7 days a week. I want my kids to be active and the best way I know how is to be the example

Lol I am glad I stopped doing triathlons, even after my competing days and just messing around I was still at 8-10 hours a week

For the last 7 years:
6 days per week January-August. 5 days per week September-December.

Prior to that I was inconsistent. Luckily a good base and youth helped me through.

4 days lifting with HIIT cardio
2 days steady state cardio

5 days a week running, 3 days a week lifting. Comes out to 10-11 hours a week in total. Exercise replaced video games as my primary hobby.

So much of this depends on what you have available and what your goal is. I am using the RP Hypertrophy App and I do 6X a week exclusively lifting. No cardio. Don't need it currently as I am on a maintenance diet at a slight calorie surplus (range between 203-208lbs is my target-getting all the meals in can be hard). ANd at that it would be mostly a couple of days of steps if any. Diet is what leans one out. But I could no doubt get most of the same gains with a 5x split. Anything more than 6 is obviously too much per the studies regarding recovery. But my days are shorter.

If you are reaching your goals given the number of days you are putting in, then youi are golden. If not, you may need to try to add more.

The goal for me is 4 workouts per week plus hitting my goal on steps. Would like to see that increase over time.

5 days a week.

Jiu Jitsu.

Running.

Lifting.

On alternating days. Tues and Thurs typically has lifting and Jiu Jitsu on the same day.

Sometimes Saturdays will have Jiu Jitsu and Running on the same day.......thats a long day.

51 and chronically chubby since childhood.

Currently- Dog walk nearly every day if weather allows. 16-17 minutes a mile usually right at 2 miles but sometimes as short as 1.5 or as long as 3.5 miles. If weather is bad I treadmill this.

Tonal- Started this late November. Generally 3x a week 30 minute high intensity weights. For example yesterday I had a peak HR of 168 doing weighted lunges and was sweating like crazy.

MMA- two 1 hour classes a week. Highly variable intensity. Sometimes it is 300 calories sometimes 600.

The RP hypertrophy app is amazing. It's what I've been using to guide my training since it came out last year too. I'm just building my own mesocycles with it

I exercise 4-5 times a week: 2 days swimming, 2 days running, and 1-day weightlifting. It comes to about 5 hours per week. I rest on Wednesdays and Sundays.

I have been training for the 2024 Austin Half Marathon, which is on 2/18, for almost 4 months. This will be my 10th half marathon. I also ran the full 2022 Austin Marathon in 3:55:21.

When I am not training for a half marathon, I bike or hike on Saturdays instead of running 8-12 miles. The rest of my exercise schedule remains intact all year.

Unless I'm sick or injured, usually 6 days per week.

I've been training for a Feb 10th 50K so my training has been predominantly running trying to mix in a day of strength training. Until my next training block I will run 30-35mpw over 4-5 runs and strength train 2x per week. I'd like to incorporate yoga in where possible, as well.
