How much time do you spend at the gym?

Just curious.....if you lift, how long does it take to work upper body/lower body. Do you always do cardio at the gym after lifting, or do it separately?

I as because today I did my walking at lunch, then to the gym to lift upper body.

I don't want to spend hours in the gym or on the dreadmill, but certainly want to get the most bang for my buck

Mostly just asking to start a conversation :)

    Hi, I try to stay a max of 1 hour at the gym.
    Always 5 min warm up and always weights before cardio. I try to save my energy on my strength training and use whatever reserves I have left on some cardio (usually there are none).
    I usually have a separate cardio day.
    You don't need to spend hours on the treadmil. Depending on your goals I would have a 70 weights / 30 cardio split in your routine.
    Good luck
