How many hours/days a week do you work out?

I'm currently working out 4x a week. Alternating strength days upper body/lower body and then do 20-30 min cardio(elliptical, HIIT 1x a week on the bike, and running on the treadmill) after the strength workout is done. Is this adequate or do I really need to be doing 6x a week? And if I bum it up, does it matter if it is strength, cardio or a mix of both?

I think it would depend on your diet, and your goal. When I was training for my competition last season, I was working out 6x week, but I didn't weight lift 6x week. I had one day where I just did cardio. I also had 2 days that I just lifted weights. Right now, I'm bulking, and on average work out 4x week, no cardio.0
