How much do you work out each day?

mlcrec

I am just curious, how much exercise every one does a day and how many days a week you exercise?

I am a triathlete and distance runner. I usually workout/train about 3 hours a day 6 days a week.

RainbootsToBikinis

5 days a week for about an hour each day. I do a mix of weight lifting and cardio.

I try to do some exercise every day.
Usually it's anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes all together (depends on how I feel that day):
warm-up + a HIIT workout (10-20min.) + extra ab exercises + cool-down & stretching.
I also try to do some yoga at least once a week.

leighdiane91

3-6 days a week (basically if I have time it is 6 days a week, but if I am very very busy that week than I go 3 days) I work out for an hour. 30 mins cardio, 30 mins weights/machines.

I lift M, T, Th, F. M & Th it's 3 exercises, 5 sets of 5 reps for upper body (bench, bent over rows & overhead press) T & F it's two exercise 5 sets of 5 reps lower body (squats and deadlifts). On upper body days I run (sometimes for a flat pace, sometimes intervals) and maybe do more cardio after I lift or some yoga, depending on my time. On lower body days, I do a dedicated ab workout and a 10 minute cardio video or two after. Wednesday is my cardio day, yester day I ran and did yogao, the week before I did a 30 minute boot camp video. On Thursday evenings, my daughters have gymnastics, and there is a little workout area that I can pay $20 a session for that over looks the gym, so while they're in class I do the elliptical (if I get there first, otherwise more treadmill) for 30-40 minutes and watch them, if they make it to the area in front of where I am. I've also been doing a bit of running or walking on my treadmill each evening, but that's not an all the time, scheduled thing like my morning workouts. I rest on the weeknds, although also might throw something in, depending on how I feel. My workouts typically do not take more than an hour.

6 days per week:

Monday - Aerobic zone Cardio...30 min
Tues - Heavy lifting 30-45 minutes; 30 min recovery zone cardio
Wed - Aerobic zone cardio...30 min
Thurs - Heavy lifting 30-45 min; 30 min recovery zone cardio
Friday - Aerobic zone cardio...30 min
Sat - Heavy lifting 30-45 min; 30 min recovery zone cardio
Sun - off...but generally active.

Really, it just depends on your fitness goals. If you want to run a marathon or participate in triathlons and the like, you need a lot more cardio and endurance training. If you wanted to body build, you'd need a lot more time lifting. I'm just looking to be generally fit, good heart health, and strong with a fitness body so the above works for me.

3 days cardio (C25K training plan so the actual time varies)

exactly. If you did my work outs, you could be an ultra-marathoner, too! ha ha! but, most people aren't into that sport and are more into being generally healthy and physically fit.
