    An hour is plenty enough for everyday. I think a lot of us have a sedentary day. =P I work on a computer all day. If you feel like you're sitting down too much, do bursts of exercise (kettlebells, dumbbells, burpees). I try to workout about 1 hour as well too. Sometimes 1.5 hours.

    I do a 20-40min HIIT workout 5-6 times a week.

    I also wear a pedometer and try to hit 10k steps a day.

    I do a desk job.

    If you're working out pretty hard for that one hour, just try to get out and walk more. I exercise for 1.5-2 hours most days, but I also take leisurely walks. I don't really count them as exercise, just being up and moving.

    I was doing cardio 6 days a week for between 45-90 min a day. Now that I joined a gym I'm doing cardio every other day for about the same time, and about 60 min at the gym on days i dont do cardio.

    If you're doing something like running an hour a day, then you are in fantastic shape. Like, 99th percentile.

    Doesn't mean you shouldn't do more - or shouldn't want to do more - but it's certainly enough for maintaining a high level of fitness.

    I average 10 hours a week, 80% cardio, 20% weights.

    at least 60 minutes of moderate cardio 4 days a week, plus I walk around a lot for work and always take a 15 minute walk every day. on the weekends is usually 90 minutes.

    About an hour of weights and a 30 minute walk five days a week. I'm taking a break from jogging because I just don't enjoy it. Usually do yoga on the weekend.
