    How many days do you exercise?

    Just wondering how many days in a row do you exercise/workout? I pretty much do something fairly active everyday (bike, run, hike, etc). I always have the best intention to take a day off or an acitve recovery day to rest a little but then feel guilty and go do something that gets my HR up and my legs working. Maybe I should try to get back into some strength training..although I injured my shoulder a month ago and it still hurts a bit. I guess I am just addicted to cardio type of exercises. I guess it could be worse...I could be addicted to chocolate. Oh wait a minute

    Mon - Thursday I work out twice a day, unless I have an after school meeting. Some combination of weights, running, biking, swimming and yoga. Friday is off or just yoga. Saturday is run day; Sunday is ride day.

    I do something 6 days a week. Most days it's two workouts (bike and swim, or swim and run or bike and run). Mondays are rest days.
    Of course, after my Ironman in less than 2 weeks, they will ALL be rest days for about 2 weeks.
    I vow to add in weights after the tri season ends in 2 weeks. I have slacked on the weights for about 3 years (and by slack, I mean not doing at all) and I need to work them back in.

    Monday through Thursday, I work out twice a day...30 minutes in the morning and at least 30 minutes at night.

    Weekends, I usually do a bike ride.

    I usually do something every day, sometimes twice a day Monday thru Thursday (swim, bike, run). Friday is supposed to be a rest day but I've been going to kettlebell training on Friday mornings. Saturday is long run day and Sunday I do a long ride. I do take a day off every 10 days or so.

    I don't do anything on Sundays, except maybe cruise up the street to get a pastry for breakfast, and then slowly ride home. The rest of Sunday is for doing what I rarely do during the week - clean, laundry, yard work, etc.

    During the week it depends on the weather. I don't do much of that twice-a-day workout stuff, but I usually do SOMETHING after work unless it's storming pretty bad. Occasionally I'll ride before work if I can drag my butt out of bed and digest breakfast in time.
