How long are you in the gym for??

greypilgrimess

60 - 90 minutes usually, mostly cardio. It can be as short as 45 minutes when I do strength but I usually try and add some cardio in too. But I do take my time sometimes... atm I have a lot of spare time, going to the gym helps fill that, and it's generally empty so I get the TV to myself while I workout too lol.

If I push it I do it all in 45 minutes to an hour and get a great workout.

40-60 minutes, 4 times a week. No cardio at the moment.

You only need to exercise 30 minutes 5 days a week - well, that's a recommendation.

However, you can lose weight without exercise. I would adjust to your new schedule with 30 minutes of working out and add more time as you go.

If you like cardio, do cardio. If you like to lift, lift. If you work out 5 x a week, do about half and half on cardio and lifting.

Make sure your protein and fat is high enough to keep you satisfied throughtout your long days.

Nutrition makes us lean - exercise makes us fit.

35 to 40 minutes as a rule, usually just lifting if I have an hour I will do a bit of cardio but as far as I am concerned I get that walking my dogs!

I am getting enough of a workout in to be pretty broken afterwards. As a rule I ramp up the reps before I up the weight so I can keep my rests a little shorter so for instance I do currently 8 reps per set at 27.5kg bench press, next time I will go for 9 reps. I also make use of supersets to get efficient use of my time. Glute bridges followed by rows type thing. I was doing 5x5 but to keep increasing my weights I got to the point where my rests were taking well over half my gym time so I switched it up a bit.

I'm in and out, no messing around. I generally work out for about 30 minutes, 3 days a week. I try to walk on the days I don't go to the gym. Usually half cardio and half weight training. I work hard and don't mess around with my phone/ipod/etc.

I do a few quick stretches, then I jump on the elliptical for 10-15 minutes, then do weights for 15 minutes, and then do cooldown stretches and/or 5 minutes on treadmill (2.5 mph).

I'm in the gym 4-5 days a week. 30 minutes cardio every session (down from 45-50 minutes when I first started out) and then every other day I do 1 hour of weights/resistance. So basically 60-90 minutes per session depending on the day.

My lifting program emphasizes compound lifts and I have very little in the way of accessory work and "fluff" so I usually knock it out in about 45 minutes.

Occasionally I will throw in some fluff and it'll take me longer, but my base program is pretty much in and out.

abbylg1983

Usually about 30-40 minutes 5-6 days a week. I rarely (if ever) do cardio and weights on the same day. But I take short rest breaks, bring water with me, and generally have all my weights nearby (since I switch for various exercises) so the amount of time I spend not actually involved in a workout is pretty minimal.

martineyes26

Anywhere from 30-90 mins. M-F. Weekends I do P90x at home. Now that the weather is nicer, I try to do my cardio outside, during lunch and/or right after work. (Walk the dog). When I go to the gym it's to lift weights and focus on a particular muscle group then sometimes get in another 15 mins of cardio at the end if I feel I need it.

MRSpivey

Anywhere from three hours (hard after it with a partner) to four hours (if social chat creeps in) a day for three days a week (usually Monday, Thursday, and Saturday) and it includes cardio. You may wonder why so long... Total body workout with weights (30 stations) and 30 minutes of cardio on Treadmill.

JoRocka

90-120 minutes including warm up. No cardio.

that- I don't do cardio at the gym unless I'm working on dance project stuff.

chadtruitt

45-60 min

scribb

one hour each day during the week

NRBreit

45-60 mins (15-20 sets 5-8 rep range) on my own. With my personal trainer it's 35-45 mins (30+ sets 8-12 rep range with active recovery). My runs are normally 30-35 mins.

My trainer can have me completely spent, doubled-over and gasping for breath in 20 mins.

CipherZero

I'm doing the Staring Strength program; it's very fast at 30-40 minutes in and out, including warm ups.

truebrew

Well, I have a routine that I rarely deviate from. So it means my time in the gym is almost always the same ........about 2 hours. And I notice a lot of the same people who are in there when I am and many for about the same time. You know, you see the same people in there while you are there. I'm at the gym 6 days a week. Saturdays I take off........the Sabbath.

tziol

45 mins cardio before breakfast or after weights workout and weights workout 45 mins

LiftAllThePizzas

xero2099

cad39too

HopeNShelton

felonebeats

felonebeats

No cardio just high volume weightlifting with 15 secs between sets

Sporttster

Anywhere from 45min to hour and a half, depending on whether I'm combining strength and cardio or lots of cardio with a bit of strength. Just finished six days straight. Haven't worked out in quite awhile so I'm trying to get it going and make things happen. Hard to imagine getting any results only doing two or three times a week. Used to have 'six pack' abs, cut pretty nice ages ago and remember going almost every day to get em. Now I'm just trying to trim the '24 pack' down to flat again. Hard work. But I am absolutely determined to have a flat stomach again. Nothing will stop me, I'm done with seeing that stupid bulge around the waistline! I'm also noticed at the gym, Planet Fitness btw, that too many people just take a laze faire attitude towards working out. Me, I'm pushing hard and trying to make gains. Too many are just going through the motions. Why bother if you don't want to put in any effort? Just stay home IMO.

spicegeek

it depends - when I am not training for something - no more than hour if I`m doing weights - I work with a trainer so the work out is quite focused, or 45 mins of cardio

I just got back onto a cycle of training for my next lifting event so as of this week the intensity has been upped - it will be 3 days a week of specific training for the event of 30 - 60 mins and 45 mins cardio and 2 days a week of general lifting and 1 day a week 1 hour cardio - I would never be putting that much time in if I wasn`t working toward a competition -

Lofteren

I usually train for about 2 hours on lower body and strongman events days but upper body days only take about 45min to an hour because I don't need as long to recover between sets.

Woodspoon

At least 2 hours 3 times a week for cardio
Tues, Thurs & Sat then any weight work on the inbetween days if I feel like it

bepeejaye

30 to 45 minutes on the days that I lift(Mon, Wed, Fri) and 1 to 2.5 hours (Tue, Thur, Sat) on the days I do cardio.

dso122783

If you are pressed for time look into doing barbell complexes, battle ropes, etc. You can get an awesome cardio workout in about half the time as a treadmill or elliptical.

Mr_Excitement

About an hour on weights days (three days/week) and about... 30-40 minutes on my yoga day.
