Just wondering how often anaerobic workouts should be done. I do them quite alot because they make me feel like I'm getting a better workout. Thanks for any suggestions or advice.
 
What do you mean by "anaerobic workouts?" Interval workouts that take you near your anaerobic threshhold on the blasts? If so, then they should be done no more than 2x/week. Once a week if you are just beginning them. Some people (athletes) may be able to do them 3x a week with no negative effects.

Or do you mean weight training, which is an anaerobic activity? If so, then any number of systems would work: from a full-body workout 2-3 times a week (2 is minimum) to a split routine that has you work each body part just once a week, heavy and intense---something you would ideally work up to by doing first a 2-day, then a 3-day, etc. splits).
