    I barely have enough time outside of physical training to workout

    Another question: Why do people find it necessary?

    "USB treadmill" that you plug to your computer and put under the desk. Perhaps?

    I do my Tai Chi practice when I first get to work in the morning, that's 20 min. At lunch I go for a walk, add 30 to 45 min.
    After work, I go to the gym for 30 to 45 min of elliptical, treadmill or stationary bike. While I'm at the gym, I do strength training for about 30 min., but I don't count that as exercise time. It adds up.....

    I dont know how some people are able to do it but they do.

    I personally don't believe I need to exercise more than 30 minutes a day. I believe my diet is priority. (granted right now its been crap but still)

    on weekends my children are at their fathers I can spend as long as I want there.
    It ends up being about 3-3.5 hours a day.

    On nights I don't have my children I spend 1.5 hours.
    I overcompensate for when I cannot go. And that's my business, I love the gym so I don't feel my time spent there is a hassle or wasted.


    When I have them I do free weights after they go to bed but don't log it.


    A lot of gyms also have daycare. IF there is a will there is a way.

    The only time I work out less then 2 hours is on Monday's or Tuesday's. I wake up at 4am and do 30min to 60min work out lol I try to be in bed by 8 or 9 pm. Not always possible, so I make one of these days my "off day" . Plus, i have no kids, no animals, just me & my fiancee. We work out together so I guess that's a reason why I have time. Otherwise we wouldn't see e/o until bedtime lol Of course 2 hours isn't necessary, 30 to 60 min is good also. I do 2 hours because i love working out so much now! haha

    I work 40hours a week, married but no kids. I wake up at 445am to work out 1hr - 1.5hrs a day, 4-5 days a week. Evenings I walk my dogs for 20-30 minutes and then study. On Friday I party hard, Saturday is chill day with husband and family (maybe a little hiking), and Sunday I go out mountain biking with my husband for 3 hours. Yeah, so basically I take the time that I would spend watching TV to work out. The only TV time I get is when I'm cleaning. I love working out and I build my entertainment around working out. I enjoy biking, hiking, aerobics, swimming, and hiking. Although, I can only do up to 1.5 hours/day not 3 hours/day.

    That is how it is done!

    I wish I had more time to workout! I'm lucky to squeeze 3 thirty minute workouts a week.

    I am a stay at home mom...I get up at 5am, do what needs to be done for kids clean, etc..., youngest gets on bus at 8:20am...as soon as she leaves I go to gym...I run for about an hour or so and then usually take a fitness class, which is usually about another hour...i leave gym by 10:30am and go on with the rest of my day. I go to gym 5x a week, take sat as a rest day and do a long run outside with a running partner early sunday am....we are out for about 2 to 3 hours...come back in, shower and get family to church.

    I enjoy the exercise, it is me time, plus I get to see other adults and have an actually conversation :)

    I do a full body lifting routine 3 times per week that lasts about 45 minutes each session. I adjust my calorie intake to not need all that cardio.

    However, I have the option of having treadmill workstation at work and am pondering that idea.

    I workout for nearly an hour and a half a day for 6 days after work. I make time, because this is like my 2nd job in a small, weird way...
