Never more than an hour. Usually 30 minutes of strength training with my trainer and 20 minutes of cardio.0

6 days a week. Weight lifting 2-3x a week followed by 30 min. cardio. Zumba 2x a week, 60 min. Piyo 1x a week, 60 min. Depending on my plans, i'll sometimes follow up zumba & piyo with more cardio. I'm at the gym for 1.5-2hrs usually. I love working out.0

20 minutes walking to the gym when it's nice.. 60-90 minutes of lifting 20 minutes walk back.
It was 55 degrees.. so too cold to walk. 2+ hours of lifting.0 -
1 hr. spin 3x/week
1 hr. bootcamp 1x/week
1 hr. TRX 2x/week
1 hr. run 6x/week
So I work out 2 hours a day, split up, and take a rest day once a week0 -
it is suggested that every one get at least 10,000 steps per day. it takes me 2.5 hours to get my 10,000 daily but by the end of the day I have close to 15,000 because I do not stop until I have my 10,000 steps then the rest of the day is icing on the cake.0

30-45 minutes of cardio, 5-6 days per week
~30 minutes of weights, 2-3 days per week
Before I really built up my stamina to run, I would sometimes go longer on cardio (45-60 minutes) during a few of my workouts to get my calorie burn up, but now that I can actually run for (what I feel is) an acceptable length of time, I don't usually go more than 45 minutes.0 -
I'm working out everyday. An hour on the tread mill and 30 mins doing a bunch of different stuff. Is it too much? How often do some of ya work out for and how long?
On Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I am in the gym doing weight lifting for about 45-60 minutes. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, I do cardio at home for about 45 minutes. On Sundays, I do light cardio/active recovery from anywhere from 30-60 minutes, but it is low impact and less of a calorie burn than anything else I do.
I would personally recommend against doing daily cardio, simply because that is what created my former "skinny fat" body. With more weight lifting and more rest (and thus less cardio) I was able to shape my body into what is today which is stronger, leaner, and with higher endurance. But on the other hand, if you are eating enough to sustain those workouts (TDEE-20% or more calories for weight loss) and getting plenty of sleep and not feeling any ill effects, than why change because someone on the internet said so?0 -
Constantly moving at work as I own a training facility for cheerleading/ tumbling. Like to do 1 hour of Zumba/cardio 4xweek and weight train 1 hour twice a week. Rest day 1 day or if I feel like I need one0

I think anything more than 4 days a week is too much, but I'm kinda lazy.0

I do StrongLifts 3x/week for just under an hour/session.
I also do anywhere from 2-4 days of mild/moderate cardio ranging from 20-60 minutes/run - depending on my mood, weather, etc.0 -
6 days a week for me! I take Sunday off but do 30 minutes cardio (running) 5 days a week during my lunch hour and I have started the Beach Body Slim in 6 program that runs 6 days a week (Monday - Saturday) in the evenings. So really it is 1 hour a day/ 6 days a week. I am seeing results so it's working for me :-)0

I run 4 days a week, usually 30-40 minutes during the the week and my long run is about 2 hours on Saturday or Sunday. And I do 30 minutes of kettlebells twice a week. I also add in yoga, pilates and danced based stretching a few times a week.0

Heavy weights twice a week. I might start leisurely walking now that it's warming up. I don't believe in chronic cardio unless the person enjoys it, otherwise it just opens up your appetite and that "runner's high" is a release of endorphins that affects cortisol levels, which ain't good. I'll add sprinting once or twice a week in another few weeks. If you find your level of activity and frequency to your liking and it's working then keep going. I just found the rebound after I stopped the chronic cardio was worse for me but that's me.0

Depends what I am doing sometimes It will be 30 minutes and sometimes it will be an hour and 15 minutes0

Every. Single. Day.
Roughly one hour per day, divided up into mobility, strength, and conditioning work.0 -
I work out everyday. 2 hours of cardio, 20-45 minutes of strength. I'm feeling pretty good, and I make sure I eat at least 1600 cals a day.0
