text: I should work out 5 times a week, but thats me.  I do weight training mon/wed/fri, and cardio all five days of the week.  That way I get a good rest for the muscles I just worked out.  For me weekends are impossible to get to the gym.  \n\nIf you can afford it, you should spend a session or two with a certified personal trainer.  He/She should be able to get you on a good program for your body and schedule, and what your personal goals are.\n\nWhatever you do, keep at it, and dont give up.
