I do other things for general fitness, mainly use the gym for weights really, go about 2 or 3 times a week if I can, due to other commitments it's pretty hard, and the less you go the less motivated you feel when you actually do go. | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 4:58:09 AM | | 3 to 5 days a week now. Sometimes 6. 3 are spent doing good cardio, the other 3 I do 2 body parts per workout. I just get up at 4 or 5 am and go. I also belong to a 24/hour gym so there are no excuses NOT to go. I am recovering from a second nasty horse accident and have only been back at the weights for a few weeks and trust me, after being on crutches 11 months it is not always easy (and I stayed ON my diet during this time so I did not turn into a Heifer..lol). But, I know it is what I need to do and I do it. I also eat well. I am a busy person, but the gym is a place I will always make time for. I love it. I need it. A lot of people have plenty of excuses to not go. Cost, hours, blah blah blah. It is all bullshit. Most gyms cost less than the junk food people eat in just a week. Some locations have great hours. People just are lazy or do not want to eat right. No excuses to not go. | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 6:24:29 AM | Hi :)
I am in the gym itself about 4 times a week. And, like you, I have started using the gym for the weights mainly. So I spend maybe no more than a half hour in there. As for the cardio, I walk to and from the gym. It's a two mile walk to the gym. So it's a nice cardio. My job has me n my feet for 8 hours three days a week. Always moving there. (Going to take my pedometer this week to see just how much I walk while there) I work clothing retail, so I am always carrying and moving boxes and clothes. Always running back and forth to help customers with their clothes. After work, I walk to the closest bus stop in that area, which is a mile and a half walk from work. I don't go to the gym the days I work. I am usually pretty whooped by the time I sit on the bus after the walk and the 8 hour day. Also, I am pretty mentally drained by then too. Just want to go home and sit in silence for a while.
I really do try to hike, walk, do whatever I can outside of the gym. Only because it feels less enclosed. I try to take advantage of the nice weather as much as possible for this. The only time I actually have to do cardio inside is when it's just too cold or so hot it's dangerous to do it outside. | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 6:37:07 AM | | I'll get there 6 days a week. Mix of cardio/weights. I also find it nice to have that "me" time to think through the day while I'm there. It also is nice/motivating to be around other folks with similar attitudes. | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 7:06:05 AM | I'm at the gym 6-7 days per week and twice per day for 6 of the days.
I prefer going twice for about 1 hour rather than 2 hour workout. Though I'm probably still there 1 and 1/2 hours most times but that includes stretching and warmups. | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 8:33:43 AM | Usually 3-4 days a week...but I'm going thru my bored with the gym phase and I am getting a lot of exercise outside with running, jogging, tennis, and at home with weights, calisthenics, taebo, etc. It's mostly due to nice weather not wanting to be inside a gym or drive there....
Soon enough tho it'll be so hot out that i'll be looking for the AC, so I'll be back there to workout in the extreme heat. | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 9:15:56 AM | ...How often to you guys go to the gym?...
Depends on my schedule that week, but most weeks it is 5 - 6 days.
Average for days is 5.13 and ~390 minutes per week of workout time so far in 2009.
So That works out to ~76 minutes per work out. | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 1:06:46 PM | | I usually spend 1.5-2 hours a day in the gym 7 days a week. It's where I go to get away. My "happy place", if you will. | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 3:34:39 PM | | Depends on my plan - 3 days per week for a strength phase, 4 times a week for a recomposition phase. Cardio is done outdoors, weather permitting. If not, it's tacked on at the end of my workouts. | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 4:04:03 PM | | I go three or four days per week. I believe that the best thing to do is to try and mix up the routine with things that you can enjoy like bicycling, martial arts, basketball or tennis. That helps me to keep motivated. | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 7:28:11 PM | Since I live in the Sierras I rely on non gym activities like walking, hiking, kayaking, even working in my organic vegetable garden for most of my work out. But I do like the fitness center for a couple of the weight machines.

Posted: 6/14/2009 1:20:14 AM | | I can only manage to go 4 days/week to the gym because of screwed up summer hours. I do try to do 750-1000 calories on the threadmill though. I get so bored there, I watch Conan (Coco, hahaha) on the portable player, but I can't do more than an hour. | |

Posted: 6/14/2009 4:29:03 AM | | I used to spend a few hours a day at a gym, then life style changes etc.. got out of it for a while, when I got back in instead of joining another I bought an exercise bike and an eliptical and some weightas and do it at home, right now pretty much 7 days a week, sometimes 2 times a day.. to wake me up and then to put me to sleep, I work 3rd shift so sometimes I need it to knock me out in the morning | |

Posted: 6/14/2009 7:59:53 AM | | Usually daily.... but I don't beat myself up if I can't get there, for example if I go away on an overnight trip (which usually involves dancing anyway). I am fortunate to have a gym at work and belong to a local gym too so no excuses for me... not that I would want them. | |

How often to you guys go to the gym?
I work out 6 or 7 days a week either at the gym or taking a 45 minute walk. I really watch what I eat too. Gotta watch out for diabetes. Trying to lose weight can be tough esp as I'm kinda banged up from sports and can't do everything I would like to do aerobically. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 3:01:32 AM | | Average 4 times a week, 30-40 minutes each. Hit each major muscle group no more than twice a week tops. I get my cardio from running outside 4-5 days a week, 30-40 miles total. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 9:04:12 AM | | When I started I went 4 days a week. Now its down to 2 days because I am getting more hours at work. I usually do 30 minutes on weights and about 20-30 minutes on cardio. | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 9:07:38 AM | 2-3 times a week, depending on how busy work is. In between I ride my bike, short trips to the grocery store and longer trips with the guys from meetup.com and to deliver work to the next town.
If I skip a week, due to work, it does get hard to drag my ass to the gym, but, once I'm there and begin sweating, feeling the strength and rejuvination come over me, the motivation instantly returns. It's an incredible feeling. | |
