60-120 minutes, depending.0

I'm about 45 minutes a day for weight lifting and about 10-30 minutes of cardio depending on the type (if HIIT it's about 10-20 minutes) I'm about to start the following schedule:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday - Ladies Strength Class - 45 minutes
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday - YOGA - 45-60 minutes (depending on DVD)
Monday, Sunday - cardio - 20-30 minutes max (whatever I feel like doing on those days - ride bike, treadmill, HIIT, etc.)
Short answer - about 45 minutes a day.0 -
And hour or more bike ride 7 days a week.0

45 minutes a day for weightlifting
5 minutes for warm up at the beginning
5 minutes to stretch at the end
1-2 rest days a week0 -
I only just started at the gym, but as of right now I do 30 minutes cardio and then 15-30 minutes of strength.0
-
This week 100 mins average a day
Cycling pretty hard, recovery swim after a cycling injury left my shoulder pretty bad, hard youtube classes, running a bit but I push, electric bike short, pretty easy
Weights a bit0 -
I run 3-4 days a week for 40 minutes to an hour, do 45 minutes of cross training twice a week and yoga (75 minutes) once a week. I have one or two days of complete rest, so sometimes those double up - anywhere from 40 minutes to two hours of working out on any given day (or zero if it's rest).
Currently it looks like -
Monday - Run 4 miles, yoga (this is actually "yogalates" and is pretty intense)
Tuesday - Run 4 miles or rest
Wednesday - Cross train with circuit training/boot camp (45 minutes); sometimes speed runs in the evening (2 miles full tilt)
Thursday - Run 4 miles
Friday - Cross train with circuit training/boot camp (45 minutes)
Saturday - Long run (currently 6 miles, this will go up in December)
Sunday - rest
This does not factor in walking or biking as my commuting choice, or warm ups, which is an additional 20 - 60 minutes a day.0 -
My average day:
30 minutes strength training
30 minutes cardio.
10 minutes bike to school, 10 minutes back over large elevation differences.
30 minutes swimming class M-W-F.
20 minutes bike to work and back, same hilly ground.
Plus I try to do a little swimming after work, usually 10-15 minutes. Not high intensity, just working on form.
Also my work is pretty active, I am on my feet the entire 4 hours or so.
For TDEE I only count the 1 hour of workout that I do 6 mornings a week. My actual net calories is probably a little less.
I would consider that I do 60-90 or more minutes of exercise per day.0 -
25 minutes of "strength training"
55 minutes of cardio0 -
I'm working out every other day usually, right now. I workout for about 40 minutes including warm up and stretch0
-
it depends on my crazy schedule. busy days - 20 or 30 minutes, days I have off a couple hours.0
-
It depends...right now I'm not really training for anything and actually nursing a bit of an injury...I do a 45 - 60 minute maintenance cycle 2-3 times per week and I lift 3x per week. I also like to go for a 30 minute or so walk at lunch on my lifting days.
When I'm training for an event it's a little different story...most of my workouts are still in the 60 minute or so time frame but I'll usually have one long ride or run or whatever.
I currently take 1 day per week to rest...when I'm training I often will take 2 days or will have 1 day of complete rest and another day of very light exercise...but I need more recovery from my vigorous workouts than I need right now. I will usually take a de-load week as well...about every 4-6 weeks depending.0 -

biking or jogging 30-50 min, 4 or 5 days a week
DDR for up to 2 hours, 1 or 2 times a week
I kinda feel like such a slacker looking over this thread.0 -
I walk an hour to an hour and a half and lift some sort of weights for about the same amount of time 5x per week. The other two days I just walk for an hour or two.0
-
45 minutes to 1 hour
3 days per week0 -
I exercise about 30 minutes every two weeks or so. It's pretty bad.0
-
It depends on the exercise performed. If I'm doing sprints I keep it to around 20 minutes. Body weight exercises currently get performed HIIT style in between zumba sets a couple days a week, so those usually end up being about an hour even. (I'm testing to see how this works for now.) If strength training is the only exercise of the day than those run about 1/2 hr. Depending upon how gung ho I'm feeling, I'll do these 5-7 days a week, though for the most part I'll get one rest day snuck in there.0
