in Fitness and Exercise
I just wrote out my schedule and I do 3 heavy lifting sessions per week for 45 minutes each and then 4-5 cardio sessions per week, 30-60 minutes each.

My total lifting per week is 2 hrs 15 minutes, total cardio per week is roughly 5 hours.

Total workout time per week is 7 hrs.



Just wondering what yours is? And is mine "average" or "good"?

    Good Question. Want to see others.
    But I'm in the process of figuring something out.
    Would really like to be able to go to the gym everyday.
    But general my schedule is this: Mon-Fri(might skip some days) 1.5hr workout (not very intense)
    Once-Twice a week of 90min Bikram yoga.....
    but would really like to either amp up the intensity of my workout or just start adding in my Wii active workout.

    Well, I have an active job so my goal is just to work out 150-250 minutes per week with a mix of cardio (running, walking, hiking, swimming, and machines), circuit training (mostly Jillian Michaels stuff) and strength training. I don't work out to lose weight. I do it for health, strength, endurance, and fun. I rely on my dietary changes for weight loss. I mean, I could lose weight by working out more but I find that if I go over the threshold I just mentioned, I tend to binge more. Moderation in all things and just staying active is where I want to be. :)

    I do 2 Body Pump sessions and a HIIT session for 30 min a week so 2.5 hours for weights
    I do 2 Body Combat classes, run 3 days a week and a step class so 6+ hours of Cardio (depending on my running distance)

    so around 8.5 hours a week

    5-8 hours a week. Five hours of cardio, the rest is typically pilates or yoga.

    Between six and seven usually. It is split probably 70/30 cardio to lifting.

    My new workout regimen for the last three weeks:

    Lift: 2 hours 15 minutes (3 x 45 min)
    Cardio: 30 minutes to an hour (1x a week)
    Pole (which is a combination of both strength and cardio): 1 hour 15 minutes (1x a week)

    So 4 to 4.5 hours a week of scheduled workouts, however, there are usually such things as dancing, football and the like thrown in each week just for fun.

    Lifting - 40 minutes per day. 5 or 6 days a week = a little over 3 hours a week
    Cardio - (Same as lifting) 40 minutes per day. 5 or 6 days a week = a little over 3 hours a week

    So in total about 6.5 hours a week

    Usually 5-6 hours, most of it running. I'm trying to get more regular about doing strengthening and core work, so today tried out a Pilates class that I'll probably continue with. But I'm also going to boost my running mileage a bit over the next couple of months (training for a half marathon, and have bigger goals in the future).

    I lift aprox 2 - 2 1/2 hrs per week and cardio 3 - 4 hrs per week. Calculating it really makes me think I need to step up the lifting !! lol

    Well, I usually do some cardio then the 30DS, 6 days a week. I spend anywhere from 20 - 60 min on cardio, depending on what time I have allotted. I average 40 according to my reports, each day (I always try to do something). Last week I did 285 minutes.

    I try to workout 5 days a week.

    I lift 3 x 30. Before those lifting sessions, I do 20 minutes of cardio. 10 minutes of yoga/pilates as a cool down. On the off days (2), I do 45 minutes of cardio (usually cycling) and 10 minutes of yoga/pilates as a cool down. I take two rest days but will generally go on these days to walk the dogs or run around at the park. I never keep track of that stuff though.

    So
    1.5hr lifting
    2.5hr cardio
    100min yoga/pilates
