I exercise every day or 6 days at the least, but I alternate exercises so I'm not doing the same things on consecutive days (except at the weekend). It normally works out as:

M - weights
Tu - run (sometimes 2 runs, one morning, one evening)
We - weights and yoga
Th - run
Fr - weights or swim
Sa - run
Su - run

The swim is pretty much a day off if I think I need it as I go very slowly and gently, and it's non weight bearing anyway, and far less intense than the rest.

No time to exercise? Research shows that several short bouts of exercise accumulated through the day have almost the same health and weight-loss benefits as one long session. Specifically, 10 minutes of exercise, three times a day, has practically the same benefits as 30 minutes all at once.

I exercise five days a week, usually Monday through Friday. If I skip a weekday, I try to make it up on Saturday. Right now I'm just starting (re-starting after a long gap, actually) so I'm only at about 30 minutes of cardio a day, hoping to increase to 45 eventually. I can do six days a week or longer workouts if I happen to feel like it, but if I were putting pressure on myself to have to do more, I think I'd burn pretty quickly.

I'm doing six days a week too. I'm doing the advanced 6 week workout routine from the Body Sculpting Bible for women, which is challenging to say the least.

Everyday I do 30-45 minutes of cardio, about 50 minutes of weight training, ab exercises and stretching. The weight workouts are divided into three days (emphasizing different areas of the body), so even though I'm lifting everyday, those body parts have a chance to rest.

Wish me luck - I'm in week three right now and feeling great! I needed a challenge since my workouts were getting pretty routine and this fits the bill. I've been stuck in my weightloss efforts and am hoping this will get things moving again (down 85 pounds, want to lose about 30 more).

I exercise everyday, but I change it up to beat boredom, and intensity.
Right now my schedule it:

Sunday: weights in the morning, and a pilates floor routine in the evening
monday: yoga in the morning, run in the evening
Tuesday: Yoga in the morning, speed workout in the evening followed by weights
Wednesday: Pilates in the morning on my reformer, and a yoga class w/hubby in the evening
Thursday: weights in the morning, run in the evening
Friday: yoga in the morning, belly dancing at night
Saturday: long run, followed by yoga

I do a lot of yoga, but I love it, and its different as far as some days its power yoga, and some days its just stretching and meditation. Also Im in training for a half marathon in April so I need the extra stretching and getting things back in line!! But i move everyday, even if its walking my dogs a couple of miles.

Default workout schedule

I currently do 30 mins of interval cardio on Sunday, Monday, Friday. I do weights on Tuesday/Thursday and then take Wednesday and Saturday off.

Split my weight days into upper/lower body. I have been doing this for about 3 weeks now and I seem to like it. I'm getting to the point where I actually look forward to going to the gym.

I am trying to exercise every day, but so far I have only put a minimum of 10 minutes on that. I figure if nothing else I can walk in front of the tv for 10 minutes in the evening. I want to make moving and exercise a part of my life and learn how to build it in every day. I have only been doing this since the beginning of January, but so far, so good (except for two days off due to a horrible cold).

Did you remember to save your signature after you made it? I know I forgot to do that the first time I made one and it didn't show up. I'm assuming you went to User CP and then to edit signature to make one is the first place, and then remember to save it. I think that's how I did it - it was a while ago! Good Luck.
