    30- 60 minutes of cardio: 7days/week

    60-90 minutes of walking/jogging : 7days /week

    15- 30 minutes of strength training: 3 days/week

    Finding it difficult to have a complete day of rest right now until I shed the last stubborn 15 lbs.

    I work out approximately 3-4 days/week depending how I feel. Generally I get 3 days of strength training which is about 30 minutes and I do about 40 min of cardio.

    Everyday for about 35 minutes to 3 hours depending on whether it's just a running day, just a cycling day, both or I'm cycling a long distance.

    I try to do about 50 minutes of cardio & 30 minutes of lifting every other day. It usually ends up being only 3 days a week but it works for me! On the days I'm not at the gym, I try and do something physical...even if its only a walk around the apartment complex with my dog

    Right now I'm doing 3 days a week at about an hour each. Some days are a little lazier than others... Sometimes I'll do a walk with a friend on a day off or something.

    I walk to and from the gym. That's 20 minutes each way, so a total of 40 minutes of walking. Once I am at the gym I do weight lifting 3 days a week, for about 45 minutes usually. And on my rest days I do yoga. Sometimes after weights I'll do some HIIT on the bike for 15 minutes.

    And I also dance. That can vary anywhere from 2 days a week to 6 days a week, for 2 to 4 hours per day, depending on what I have coming up for performances or how many projects I am working on. That may increase soon. I don't consider that exercise at a steady state because it is interspersed with rest times to talk about what we did, what we are going to do or to watch other people while they do their part. The intensity varies depending on the project. There have been times when I have had to spend hours in a plank type position, while crawling across the floor staying in that plank type position, kind of like rock climbing, but while on the floor (like a tiger walk I think it might be called). Dance is funny like that because you rehearse a part over and over until you perform it (sometimes once, sometimes for a week). Then you let it go and start something new.

    I do approximately 15-45 minutes (depends on if I have a partner or more) of weight training and--for now--a walk with occasional running. (The running is prompted by an app I use called Zombies, Run! It has an option for zombie hoard chases. Since I'm not ready to run the entire time of the missions, I run when it warns me of a hoard nearby.) So far we only go for about 1.3 miles. We do this rotation three times a week.

    Then on top of that, I do a lot of cardio for work. I'm a security guard so I walk about 3-5 miles every work day. (Usually 5 days a week.)

    I workout 6 - 7 days a week.

    Mixing up the 30 day shred (20 minutes) and cardio (jogging and walking for 30 - 45 mins).
    Some days I do both, some days one or the other depending on how I feel and how much time I have.

    I'm working on increasing the cardio, as I get fitter I jog longer and longer each week.

    I try not to exceed 45 min for strength training, 30 min fasted cardio, and 30 min after weights. For Strength Training I keep my rest at 1 minute in between sets for most body parts except legs. Lift heavy for compound exercises, and increase repetition for isolation.

    I'm working out every day but some days aren't as long as others.
    For example I walk/jog every morning for about 10 minutes.
    then it goes like this:

    mon. gym
    tue. 30 day shred
    wed. gym
    thu.30 day shred
    fri. gym
    sat. 30 day shred or gym (depends on mood)
    sun. just the jog.

    At the gym,I just do 15 minutes cardio (treadmill) and about 1-2 hours gym machines and weights. I have a program at the gym,so i don't over or under do it..

    I get at least a 20 minute walk even on rest days since I walk my dog around the block every night for her.

    On top of that I either go to the gym or the pool for 45 minutes 5 days a week.

    I don't exercise for huge lengths of time (partly because of time constraints and partly because my asthma won't let me!), but I do something every day.

    7 days a week I do a 15 minute aerobics workout as soon as I get up. Most days I also do some push ups, sits ups etc.

    5 days a week I walk to and from work, which is 15 minutes each way at a brisk pace.

    3 or 4 days a week I do 30 minutes of yoga.

    Once a week I swim for 30 minutes.

    I try to go out on my bike at the weekend, cycling about 6 to 8 miles.

    Weight days - 40 minutes to an hour.

    Cardio days - 30-60 minutes.

    IMO, the point isn't to work out for hours and hours - it's to get a good workout in and get out of there.

    ^^ This. Every word is the same for me. Same workout times and agree with the last statement. I work out Monday through Saturday, rest on Sundays. :)

    Right now.... 3 days a week.... I was just doing bikes/treadmill 20-30 mins each at the gym.... I sat down with a trainer and talked about my goals and what I wanted to achieve and by Oct 1st he wants me up to about 5 days a week for 2 hrs a day which I know I can do, but it's going to be a gradual increase.

    At least an hour every day. I alternate between 60-70 mins of cardio one day, and a mix of a full body workout and 30 mins of cardio the next.
