I'm interested to know what workout people do and how often and how long for? What's your average week of exercise?

    Hi there! I lift free weights three times a week, a little on the stationary bike at the same time (warmup). Besides that I walk about an hour every day, sometimes more.
    Oh, how long... Hm... 30 min lifting, 15 min bike and then the walking. Not much, but I love it.

    I'm currently checking out the water excercise classes at my gym and doing laps (i'm 27wks preggo, so water is my friend) 5x a week (M-F) with some strength training at home mixed in. Prior to last week, I was hitting the gym 3-5x a week, strength training 2-3 of those days for 40 min (20 upper, 20 lower body) and 20 minutes cardio broken up into a 10 minute warmup on the elliptical to get my heart pumping, and then 10 minutes on the treadmill at the end, with stretching in the middle. On the days I didn't strength train or get to the gym, I did cardio for 25-40 minutes, usually on the treadmill or taking a walk.

    I do approx 6 workouts a week at the moment ranging from dancing, power walking, going to the gym and doing free weights, sit ups, cross trainer, bike, rower and treadmill.....i find it helps if you try and mix it up as much as possible.

    Exercising 5-6 times a week at the moment. I lift 4 times, each up to 90 minutes, depending on which body part I train. HIIT is 2-3 times a week, for 30-45 minutes. :)

    I do 20-25 mins aerobic/toning (to DVD) before breakfast every morning, walk to and from work (15 mins each way Mon to Fri) and do a workout most nights when I get home - either 30-40 mins aerobics/toning (DVD) or 20-40 mins Zumba (Wii) - plus one Zumba class a week (1 hour - no evening workout that day!). At weekends same morning/afternoon sessions unless hubby and I go for a long walk - 45 mins to 1 hr.

    I run about 35-40 miles per week.
    14-18 miles on Sundays,
    4 miles on Mondays,
    Crosstrain on tuesdays,
    6-7 miles on Wednedays,
    8-9 Miles on Thursdays,
    4 miles on Fridays,
    7 Miles on Saturdays.

    That's training for a marathon, so when I'm not training I will probably be at about 30 miles per week.

    I do my fitness dvd 4 times a week - this includes a toning session and a dance work out session combined, which takes an hour. I don't have much time during the day so I do it after work during weekdays, which has really helped me lose the weight I have lost!

    I have been struggling with constant colds for the last few months but otherwise I usually do 2 x aerial dance class (trapeze/silks/lyra hoop), 2 x climbing sessions and then I try to do 30 day shred on a morning at least 5 times per week or I replace one of those sessions with a 14 mile cycle to work (spring to autumn). My morning sessions depend on how sore I am from climbing/aerial.

    I love doing exercise that is fun and has a purpose so that it doesn't feel like a chore. I love cycling to work because you get some fresh air in the morning and don't laugh but nature is pretty especially when I see birds and rabbits etc.

    At the moment I am barely making it to my 2 sessions of aerial. I had the flu in November and February and ever since I have had constant colds. Just when I start to feel better I get full of cold again.

    currently my schedule is m/w/f weights (mainly machines) with some cardio after. tu/th/su swimming and aqua aerobics - generally a 2 kilometer swim, and almost an hour of aqua aerobics.
    Sat and sun I tend to go for a walk with hubby, so even my rest day (saturday) isnt much of a rest :)

    I'm looking for some different classes to do at the gym though, but I've got to find ones that are OK for the knees as I have a knee problem.
