How long do you usually spend in the gym?

Loissxo

I love the gym and can be in there for hours! I wondering how long everyone else spent in the gym or working out!

mmapags

About an hour 3x per week. I also spend about an hour on non-gym days doing low or moderate intensity cardio. Got stuff to do. Can't be hanging out there all day!

I spend around 2-4 hours in the gym everyday, i don't have any friends so it's kind of my happy place

45-90 min... just depends on my mood

At least an hour, but often more (depending on how much rest I need and if I add in things as I go along my plan). I like being at the gym when I don't have any place else to be at a specific time afterwards, so that I can relax and focus on my exercises and not the clock.

I guess it depends on what I'm doing. My lifting can take anywhere from 30 min to 1 1/2 hours. 30 min would be a basic 5x5 routine, 1 1/2 would include extra lifts and accessories. It would take even longer if I added some cardio warm-up and cool down. I try to keep it quicker when it's right after work and I gotta get home for dinner. But right now it's summer break so I can take my time. I also do a lot of workouts at home. They are anywhere from 20 min yoga to long circuit videos or multiple workouts.

One time, I was at the gym for 3 hours. I lifted for an hour, cardio + foam rolling and stretching for an hour, also ran my mouth for an hour.

If I don't goof off, usually an hour and a half max.

I wish that I had time to go more, but I've been super busy lately.

I shoot for 3 days a week. Sessions usually last 45 minutes to an hour. I work out steady the whole time though. I usually do a 15-20 minute cardio warmup, then 15-20 minutes on weights, then another 10-15 minutes of cardio.

sardelsa

For lifting, 45-75min (including warmup and rest), 4x per week.

Cardio/Circuits 15-30min 1-2x per week

Yoga 75 min, once a week

25-45 minutes.

30-60 minutes on cardio machines, 15-30 minutes stretching and doing band work, 60-90 minutes lifting. So a total of 2.5 hours typically.

I ditched my gym membership when I moved last year. Currently I spend 30 minutes 3 days a week lifting in my home gym, then spend anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours walking, running, cycling, or swimming outside.

This what I do except 60 minutes on weights

chrissymoore06

2 hours 60 min of cardio and 30 min strength training. Then I treat myself to the massage chairs at pf.

As long as it takes... I don't have a set time

60-70 minutes 4-5 days a week. Half of that is cardio work either on a bike, treadmill or elliptical. The other half is lifts for whatever muscle group I'm doing that day. Short and to the point. There's zero reason to spend HOURS in the gym. People that do that are either over working their bodies, taking long breaks between exercises, or taking too many gym selfies.

2 to 5 hours - Monday through Friday. Except this past week because I pulled my shoulder/neck or something and couldn't turn my head. It was heinous. I had to stay home all week and actually try to eat 1200 calories.

joeybrid

Weights. Lol cardio lol

3 days a week and usually no more than an hour lifting. Maybe 1.5 hrs if I feel lucky. Gym for me is lifting mostly. 3 other days a week or more I'm doing cardio outside like biking, jogging, tennis, etc. My job still plays a factor in when I can make it to the gym. My main focus currently is the cardio workouts! Burn them calories MFP friends!!

Willbenchforcupcakes

However long it takes. Could be 30 minutes, could be three hours. I get in, get my program done and get out.

curvesfordays8907

40 mins to 1 1/2 hrs depending on what I'm doing.

meshashesha2012

doing actual workout gym stuff : anywhere from 30- 60 minutes. doing other stuff like stretching, jacuzzi, splishy splashy in the pool, steam room, etc can be additional 60-90 minutes

mmphelps1970

30-40 mins/day. I hit it hard with HIIT cardio half the time, and bodyweight intervals the other half. Boom! Done!

Motorsheen

2 Hours, 6 days a week




5 minutes lifting weights (curls... in the squat rack)
3 minutes thinking that I should maybe, someday, tackle some cardio
60 minutes at the juice bar drinking smoothies
..... the rest of the time just watching the yoga class

That last part is SO ME...."How many coins would you like ma'am?"....as many as y'all give me sir

Okiludy

4x per week 1.5 to 2 hours including warm up, workout, and cooldown.

20min - warm up, dynamic stretching, cooldown

60-90min - resistance training around 5min break breaks between sets and sometimes waiting for a bench. Why is it only the bench I have to wait for? Deadlift/Power clean platform always open and same goes for the squat racks.

i like it in there. if i'm crunched i can just zoom in, do my 5/3/1 workout of the day in not-doing-*kitten* style and zoom out. but if i have the time, i do just like the atmosphere unless it's packed. i sort of wander around thinking up other little things to do too. kind of like when you drop a few incidentals into your cart at the grocery store checkout point.

same kind of thing, really. go in on a mission, do the big grownup stuff, and then browse.

SCoil123

Usually an hour but sometimes two
