    I shoot for 60 minutes per day. Some days I get lucky and do more, others I do less, but 60 is average. I started off at 20 and worked my way up. I read that you don;t start burning fat til 15-20 minutes in so that is why I kept increasing. Another article said if I wanted to lose weight I should do an hour and that sort of stuck in my head. I don't do all one thing though, I mix it up like a walk or run plus a DVD or stationary bike. I get too bored doing all one thing.

    60-90 minutes of cardio 6-7 days a week; 20-30 minutes of light weight training 3- 4 times a week. Mostly, I work out in the mornings before work because 1-it's too hot in Vegas to wait until after work, and 2-I feel so completely awesome after working out that it buoys my entire mood and contributes to a better day. :)

    I still try to exercise like an athlete.

    I could spend 30 minutes in the gym or 3 hours in the gym.

    There will be days when I spend at least an hour on the track and then at least an hour doing pilates/yoga/etc.

    I work out 2 - 3 times a day or I won't loose. Abs & 15 min walk in am, usually tense/release exercises in car on way to work, 30 - 45 minutes intense at lunch, and I try to do something "fun" with my 13 yo at night. Tennis (or rather missing the ball :laugh: ), biking, whatever he wants to do.

    My schedule varies, but on an ideal week it would be 3 1 hour lifting sessions 2 interval style 30 min workouts, and 2 1 hour cardio sessions, with a spin class thrown in for a couple two a days. Realistically, I go 6 days a week, 30-60 min

    I jump on the treadmill and do 65 minutes 4x a week--3 of them are hill intervals. M-W-F after I do my 65 minutes on the treadmill, I go and do strength training for 20-25 minutes (squats, bicep curls, etc)

    It looks like I will be adding a 5th day soon, Hubby needs to get into shape, so I am going to have to drag him to the gym on Saturdays.

    It totally depends. On my circuit/cardio/weight training days, I typically do 1 hour 50ish minutes to two hours. That's 3-4 days a week. On just cardio/strength days, I do about 45 minutes.

    Generally 30-90 minutes. I might do more if I'm marathon training. The long runs can take up to 3 hours.
