    Well, if I count all the extra stuff plus the work out...

    I'd be somewhere between 13 - 16h/week.

    Most weeks I lift heavy stuff and put it down 6 days a week for about 60 minutes 3 of those days I add running in for 30 minutes or so

    so roughly 7 1/2 hours a week maybe a bit more

    that is whenever i can get the hell back into the gym from being sick

    Right now: 2 at the gym. Maybe another 1-2 at home. More if I had more free time.

    I exercise about 6.5 hours a week. In that amount of time, I do circuit training classes (both cardio and weight-based) and yoga.

    I've never added it up before but, I average about 4-5 hours per week.
    That doesn't seem like enough now that I total it up.
    That or I need to increase the difficulty of my exercises.

    If you are talking about the activity level to set MFP at - this does not include exercise - just your daily activity.

    Re exercise:

    About 5 - 6 hours lifting a week. Maybe 40 mins of cardio a week if I am feeling crazy.

    Hey OP, if you take care of two kids and keep a house you are probably not sedentary in activity level :) try checking the calorie count in an hour of cleaning. Or wear a HRM or pedometer to see what I mean.

    M-F, I'll be happy if I can get in 2-3 hours.

    Saturday - I play badminton for a couple hours. If I can't play, then I'll end up walking/running on a track for about 30-45 minutes and walking for about 30.

    Sunday - that's my yard work or house work day. half an hour to an hour.

    About 3 hours for lifting and about 3 for all other cardio (long run, HIIT, etc.).

    I get in about 3 hours a week lifting things. I used to get more when it was nice out. I just cannot stand running indoors, and the tennis courts are wet :(

    do you exercise?

    I just added up mine and it's a little over four hours a week. What would this be considered on the activity level scale? I am sedentary for the most part. I take care of two children and take care of the home. I don't have a outside job. Just my daily workouts.

    I do about 4 hours a week right now too. (EDIT: When I'm focused on endurance running in summer, it'll be more like 5-7 hours/week).

    I just wanted to say, as a SAHM I have found I burn according to the "moderately active" setting and not, in fact, the sedentary or even lightly active settings... and that's before exercise.
