    Anywhere between 60-90 minutes from warm-up to stretching for 5-6 days a week. I started trying something different this week and am trying to keep it to no more than an hour, so I can get to work earlier.

    Sixty minutes most days. 45 if I am in a hurry or 90 if it's Saturday and a good movie is playing in Cardio Cinema.

    45 minutes strength training, followed by 45 minutes on cardio. Then, I reward myself for another 15 minutes either in the pool or jacuzzi. :) 4 times a week for strength training, and 5-6 times a week on cardio.

    I always tell myself that I'm going to get in and out within an hour and a half, but that never happens. I usually am there for about two to two and a half hours. Granted, I do 1 minute rests between sets, and then there's always the time that is spent waiting to get on certain machines/benches!

    I lift once a week for about three hours (includes warm-up, lifting, cooldown, stretch), 90 minutes Vinyasa yoga 3-4 times a week, cardio twice a week (one HIIT, one steady state with stretching after, about 1-1.5 hours).

    I work out 3-4 times a week. When I can afford it, I prefer working with a trainer. For those sessions I'll come in 20 minutes early to stretch and warm up on my own, then I'll do a full 60 minutes with the trainer: very focused, very intense, minimal breaks, and minimal chatting. It's never the same workout twice in a row, but is usually some combination of body-weight exercises, traditional strength-building moves (squats, deadlifts, etc.) and core work, punctuated with either sprints on the elliptical, or jumping rope. If I'm on my own I try to do a similar mix, and keep up a similar level of intensity, but I don't always achieve it. I usually end up doing plus 45 minutes (not including warmup) or so in that case. I track all my workouts on my FitBit, and the heart-rate difference between a trainer-directed workout and a self-directed workout is, um, interesting!

    4x's a week - usually 2& half hrs. That 1st half hour is spent bullsh*tting tho..... Come in, sit there in the locker room like 10mins getting my mind right... Then gotta pee. Then put on "gear" (Rx pain patches, freebrese 2hide that herbal smell from the parking lot, sweat band...etc). Massage chair/Finding my Youtube-Pandora station time....gotta pee AGAIN! Then its off to the actual gymnasium floor to give my body over for an hour to The Crucible....aka that damnable Elliptical yo! Then weights....then back 2that parking lot....ya know? ;)

    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. :s

    curious - what do you do in the gym for 2-5 hours per day?????

    45 minutes, 3 days a week. I think i need to do more days, but any longer per session and i don't know that i'd be as efficient. Maybe that will change as i start targeting muscle areas, but i feel pretty good after each work out.

    My gym is my basement, and I spend one hour max 4-5 days a week. I do half hour cardio half hour weights, I am pretty taxed after an hour. Even though I have all the needed equipment in my house I have no desire to spend countless hours working out, I have learned more is not always better.
