    3 days a week 60 minutes and 2 days a week 90 minutes. I throw in an extra 30 minutes on the elliptical when I'm really feeling it :)

    60-90 min most days. sometimes more, sometimes less. i walk every day, at least half an hour. then i either run, lift or dance. and have an occasional just walking day.

    Everyone's body chemistry is different, some more than others, I found that I respond better to exercising everyday, on the weekends a hike, bike ride, gardening, trying to chase down my dog who has just stolen my underwear, what ever. For a gym reference I am in there 5 to 6 days a week, I prefer to run about 30-40 minutes about 4-5 days a week, with abs every day, resistance train the other two, so about 90 minutes a day, everyday.

    I aim for at least an hour of dedicated me time 6 days a week...it usually is on the elliptical because that's at home and I don't have to wake up my son to go to the gym

    Anywhere between 30min to an hour. But I think I need to up that for me to lose more lbs in a week.Cause losing 1lb is not enough!

    40-70 minutes. Cardio is only 2-3 days a week. My weight routine takes about 30-40 minutes and I do that twice a week. I'm not super into working out. Bleeecchhhh.

    45 - 60 minutes 6 days per week. I have one rest day. I alternate cardiovascular fitness days and weight training days. I will occasionally have a longer bike ride that may take me to 90 to 120 minutes, but that's not very routine.

    30-60 minutes/day for up to 4 times a week now. I am a mommy of a 2 year old and I work full time out of the home so I pack as much in as I can when I do it. I just don't have more than that to spend exercising so I do what I can. the 60 minutes days are usually killers and the trainer who leads our small class really kicks our butts!

    ummm yeah...that butt bible is really working for you...tell your man how lucky he is...dang...

    I do about an hour of cardio and about a half hour of strength-building stuff on an average day.

    Usually an hour to an hour and a half.. that includes some cardio to warmup and cooldown, five to ten minutes of stretching and the rest is lifting.

    For me it really depends on the day and what's going on. If I drive to my regular office (an hour away), I shoot for 1/2 hour. If I can work locally, I'll get in an hour. If both of my kiddos have sports in the evenings, I just skip a day and try not to feel guilty about it. :)

    And, I do various forms of exercise... some of my favorites are TurboFire, Body Revolution, and I jog and bike.

    30 minutes weight lifting 3x per week. 30 minutes walking or light jog 2-3x per week, but sometimes I slack on that and only do it once a week.
