How often do you work out (weights and/or cardio)?

It's every day for me, but I don't lift weights very often. I focus primarily on cardio. I run about 2 to 3 miles each day. I haven't been able to run these past few days, as I screwed up my ankle again somehow. I've tried the elliptical and bike, too. My best bet is to stay off my foot for a few more days.

I lift heavy every 2nd day, but I do lighter stuff, cardio and some body weight exercises on some of the days in between.

@SW-User You do less weight, more reps? I don't lift very much. I'll do 12 on the first set, 10 on the next, and 8 on my last. I don't really have a reason for it.

@ArtyFischel On my main days, I do less reps of heavy weights. like 5 sets of five or 4 sets of 6. Fewer reps of a heavier weight helps you build strength quicker

@SW-User I want to build muscle, but not too much. I like being slim. I lift mostly because it feels good and gets the blood going.
