    I experienced a 6-8 month plateau & decided to hire an online fitness coach. I was told to burn 3,500 calories per wk. I was KILLING myself on lift days. I'd have to spend upwards of 3hrs a day working out. It was excessive but I lost 23lbs in 12 weeks. Now I work out an hour a day, 5 days a week.

    Never really time my workouts beyond the cardio aspect. I go into the gym with a plan, execute said plan, and that's that. If it takes 30 minutes, cool. Hour and a half? That's cool too, as long as I hit the lifts I have programmed.

    I work out 60-90 hours a day seven days a week. My "rest days" include me resting from a specific exercise I did the previous day... Kickboxing, Bootcamp, advanced step, strength training... Used to do two hours a day several days a week and one hour on the other days.. Going back to that next week to shake things up a bit (increase my deficit). Have 6-10 pds left to reach my "vanity weight".

    Anywhere from 25 mins (walking or stretching/bodystrength work) to 45 - 100 mins (running).
    Or anything inbetween really if I'm doing something different like cycling.
    I routinely run 3 days a week then add someone else in on most other days.

    I get up at 4:30 every work day morning and generally do between 1hr 30 and 1hr45 min workouts total. Then at the weekend on one day I do a 2 hour legs session. Yes its a lot, but I love it! ;D

    Weights typically one hour.
    Gym cardio (mostly cycling related) typically one hour but will do some longer sessions in winter.
    Outdoor cycling varies enormously from one hour, quite a few three hour rides but events can be six to seven hours with one exceptional event 10 hours duration, nine hours riding.

    I do some exercise most days, commonly alternating weights and cardio.

    For running, 6min - 5hr+ depending on distance (1mi - 31+mi). For lifting, usually 40-120min. 4-5x/wk.
