    I train at home 6-7 days a week. I don't train for hours, but get in around 30-45 min each time alternating between cardio and weight training. Plenty for me!

    Right now I'm following a program with an app called Bodbot. It's currently a combo of weightlifting, bodyweight work and cardio.

    Oh and I sometimes play tennis but I don't really count that as training.

    6-7 days per week, with 2 workouts on some of the days. I do crossfit 3 days, I run 2 days, weightlift 1-2 days, and do calisthenic workouts/gymnastic movements and isometric holds 3-4 times per week.

    Anywhere from 3-5 days a week, depending on what my week looks like schedule-wise. Usually 2-3 sessions lifting and 1-2 LISS cardio days.

    ^^^i got tired just looking at that.

    Seven days a week, including long walks, shorter runs, yoga, Pilates and weight training.

    I set my watch’s move goal to 750. As long as I make that every day I’m fine, but I usually go well over.

    6 days a week 3/3 cardio strength days.
    Cardio for me is a 2 mile run which takes me around 20/25 mins and strength days are 40 mins either upper body or lower body with my main focus being glutes,back and abs atm but making sure I hit legs arms and chest aswell. I tend to follow videos as Im still learning but Its working for me so far.
    I also walk 4/5 miles a day everyday with my dogs.
    I'll eventually build my own training program when I'm more knowledgeable about things haha

    6-7 days a week (if you count a 20min easy run as a workout, which I don't)

    I run anything between 1.5 and 13.1 miles 7 days a week.
    I train with a PT 4-5x week
    I go to around 10 classes a week.
    I strength train 3x week
    And I stretch (and do piyo) 3-5x a week.

    Average around 2.5hrs a day mon-sat with Tuesday my really crazy day (30-60min PT, zumba, chest/back, run, insanity, boxercise, about 4hr altogether but spaced over the day). But exercise is what I enjoy, I built up to this and it's my way of dealing with a very confusing world (I'm autistic)

    I generally try to do something every day with some of the workouts being active recovery. Some days it'll be a double depending on where I am in a training cycle.

    May have been overkill for what the OP was asking :-)

    Weight room 3x per week...one day with a trainer and the other two on my own. I'm active most days though beyond lifting. I walk a lot, road ride, mountain bike, etc. Unfortunately, with the time change coming, cycling and mountain biking will be relegated to weekends as it will be too dark in the morning and too dark after work.

    I’ve been doing 5 hours of planned exercise at the gym over 3-4 days but I’m trying to reduce it down to 3 hours to give myself more time to recover. I work on my feet quite a lot of the time, walk on average 8k per day and haul a small child around the place too.

    Maintenance always is low-impact which I don't count: Flexibility routines
    Workout proper is TWICE daily, in the AM and in the PM (evening), 5 days a week.

    I lift for about 40 minutes, 3x per week. Daily step count is about 12k to 15k steps. Sometimes 18k if the dogs are feisty.
