How long are you at the gym?

HauteP1nk

When I used to go to the gym I'd always work out for one hour.

LoraF83

When I'm at the gym for strength training, I'm usually there anywhere from 30-60 minutes (depending on how long I have to wait to use equipment).

When I take a spin class, it's about 45 minutes long. And when I'm running (outdoors), I'm usually out for 25-45 minutes, depending on how long a run I do.

I would suggest trying a whole bunch of classes and activities to find something you really enjoy doing! If you love it, that 30-60 minutes is going to fly by!!

I only do classes :-)

I do:
2, 1 hour classes, 6 days a week.

So in total 12 hours a week...
I do a mixture of classes tho: cardio (Step, Spinning, Combat) weight training (Pump) and flexability (Pilates/Yoga)
I think its good to change it up, keep your body guessing.
Plus the 10min walk there and 10min walk back lol

I love taking a Step class, which is one hour and afterwards I have so much energy I hop onto the treadmill for another 20 mins.

But if I go by myself without a class, sometimes it is hard to stick with it - I do the treadmill, but then I am bored after 5 mins, then I do the elliptical to get my heart up - another 5-10 mins, then I alternate strength training and aerobic activity and that really works to keep me there - if I do some machines and free weights - then i hop back onto the elliptical and you would not believe it, but my heart rate is up there already - like 140-150 so it is easier to do the elliptical. I do find I stay longer if I have a friend, but I have no friends that want to work out, so sad...

I take a break normally every 7-10 days where I do nothing

Find your mojo by getting some experience or get yourself a PT (personal trainer) who will help you formulate your sessions.

I usually spend 30 minutes on the elliptical, 15 - 30 minutes on the stepper then about an hour on strength training.. I go when I really don't have to rush to leave, so I don't always watch how long I'm there, but usually I am there a good 2 hours.

laurasimmons

Between an hour to an hour and a half.

I am there no less than an hour but no more than 90 minutes. It all depends on what I am doing that day.

Montanarush

3 days a week I have a joint mobility and flexibility class for an hour, preceded by 30 min of light stationary bike warmup, and followed by 90-100 minutes of strength training. 3 days week I go hiking or walking for usually 120-180 minutes and 1 day aweek the walk is preceded by a 70 minute Tai Chi/ Yoga for arthritis class. So basically three hours a day.

capnrus789

Never, I hate being indoors. But I never do strength training, so that's probably bad.

Leadfoot_Lewis

When I lift I'll spend an hour. Cardio, just depends on what I'm doing - bike rides - 1 hour+, Runs usually 25 minutes, etc.
