I used to work out 3 times a week up until I had Charlie. I would do a little cardio + weight training one day, kickboxing another, and treadmill or elliptical another day.
Sadly I have not seen a gym since he was born. I'd really love to work out, but it's really impossible to find the time. Then again it has so many health and mood benefits, I can't afford not to work out!
How much do you work out and what type of work outs do you do?

I try to go at least 3 days a week and one day on the weekends. I run and lift weights. I throw in some Pilates too.

I try to do 3x a week. Lately I have been really into Zumba. It's so fun and I love going.

I work out about 3 times a week. I used to run outdoors but we moved and its not really convenient to run outside now. Plus its been really cold here lately (highs in the 40s...I'm used to the warm weather here in NC). I go to the gym and usually do the elliptical, treadmill, and either abs or light arm weights.

I'm trying right now to work out three times a week. I usually run and lift weights or I do a Jillian dvd & yoga. (all in the safety of our home gym in the (unfinished) basement).

When I'm doing good an hour a day. Now that I've started working again it is more like an hour a week. Not good.

I try for an hour a day. Longer sometimes when I have time and once in awhile will skip a day.

I used to run and go to the gym - I ran two marathons. But then I broke my foot in 2008 while walking down the street (probably had a stress fracture before) and was paranoid about breaking it again so I cut back on running. After my miscarriage last year, I cut down on exercise and haven't gone to the gym in months. I really need to get back at it now that I'm pregnant again!

I do pilates 5-6 days a week. I'm hoping to continue at least 3-4 times a week once the baby comes (yeah right).

I go running most days but I need to start weight training as well. I haven't been to the gym in ages, and we dont even have children yet so I don't have much of an excuse.

I haven't worked out in about 2 months. 
I used to be a runner. Stopped once I got pregnant.. now I do at home dvds. Insanity and Jillian's shred are 2 of my faves

I don't. But I think in the spring I'll sign up for something...

oh, y'all are all so good. I worked out consistently like 5 years ago? thank god for good genes thus far. I've always walked the dog regularly, though, & have been trying to do that more. after baby is born, though, I've got to get back into a more active lifestyle. even if it's not "working out" per say, I want our kids to be raised with the mentality that being active is something that you just do & I can't promote that if I don't do it myself.

My goal is 4 days a week but that rarely happens! About 3 days a week usually.

I workout 6 days a week. Mainly running and weight lifting with some yoga and Jillian Michaels dvds thrown into the mix. Exercising keeps me sane, which is especially helpful now that we are TTC!

I used to be a total gym rat (5-7x a week) and then got less and less interested in that atmosphere.
A couple of months ago I signed up for a membership at a hot yoga studio and I LOVE it. Ideally I'd be there every single day, but its more like 2-3x a week (or 1x a week lately due to how busy the holidays were).

I used to do Pilates with a trainer 3x/week. Sadly there is no time or budget for that anymore. I hate cardio and only like it if it's involved in a game like squash or sometimes swimming. It's sad, but I can't motivate myself to work out. I was only successful when I had a trainer, which I know is essentially a paid babysitter to make you work out!

4-5 days a week. I have to switch up my routines often or I get bored. At the moment it's 1 or 2 spin classes a week and a few circuit training workouts. Other things I do to mix it up: a lot of Jillian Michael's DVDs, lifting heavy, hot yoga and I run outdoors in the summer (that's been replaced by spinning at the moment).

Not nearly enough ... I really try to get out and do something (aquacize, waling the dog, etc_ 3-5 times per week, but I slacked off so badly over the holidays ...

I've been doing the 30 Day Shred, so every single day. Once I'm done with that, I'll probably still work out 4-6 times a week...trying to lose some weight here. 
When it warms up outside, I plan on getting a nice 30+ minute walk in every day, too.

I haven't worked out a single time since I have been pg.
Because of my high blood pressure and placenta previa, it's just not in the cards for me.
It's been a mega bummer watching my body turn flabby.

I really love the gym and working out, but in Albania the gyms are men only. So I haven't been to a gym in quite awhile. I think when we finally settle down to a more permanent posting, we'll do a home gym.
Right now the most exercise I get is going up and down the six flights of stairs to our apartment - we don't have an elevator.

I've been a runner for years and am slowly getting back into it after having LO. Juggling it with nursing has been tricky but I have been doing 30mins at least 3 times a week + weights at the gym 1-2.
Before LO I ran 6 days a week, usually ~ 1 hour a day, did marathons. sigh.
