It depends on the goals of the workouts. IF you are trying to add muscles size you would work out 3 days a week with heavy weights, and the days in between would be more endurance oriented, like swalking, cycling, or jogging.

IF you are body building you are going to lift fairly heavy compared to someone looking for tone, and you will split up your muscle groups and lift heavy while working the target muscle group of the workout and do lighter exercises for the non target groups.
