    15 min walk plus 15 min yoga and toning exercises as a minimum daily. Sometimes like today, I will walk a little longer.

    I also aim to do 1 long walk a week....3-5 miles.

    It all depends on your personal goals; 20 minutes or an hour. If you have been working out for a while and your body is use to it, you may just need to change your routine and not necessarily the amount of time.

    I do CrossFit 3-4 times a week, which takes between 25-40 minutes. Sometimes I go for a 3-5 mile run once a week, too. One of the things I like best about CrossFit is that it combines strength and cardio in one workout. I don't like spending a lot of time in the gym.

    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.

    Same. Weights are 2-3 times a week, cardio (running) is 3 times a week.

    I usually do an hour at least 6 days a week I lift 3 times a week and run 3 times a week. Yesterday I did 2hr20mins because it was long run day. Sometimes do cardio and weights on the same day. If I am on nights it might be less as I don't get much time to sleep( only while the kids are at school) . I try to have 1 rest day a week but not always. I also walk a lot as I walk the kids to school 2-3 times a day, week days only.

    I try to do about 40 minutes weights with 20 minute HIIT, 1 min walk, 1 min run afterwards. If you're going to weights and cardio on the same day, ALWAYS do your weights first.

    weights and cardio days I work out about 30 minutes. Zumba days about an hour. I also wear a Fitbit all day except when I am consciously exercising and burn both walking and stair climbing calories.

    I aim for 4-6 days a week. Mix of cardio and weights. Work days usually 30-45 minute workouts. Non workout days 30-90 minutes depends on my mood and what I have going on that day. I workout at home with Cathe and other various instructors.

    My workouts are a bit more intense as I'm prepping for a fitness competition but I weight train 5 to 6 times a week and do cardio every day.

    My training falls 3 days on, 1 day off and on and on. My cardio is 45 minutes every day.

    60 min cardio 4x and 60 min weight training 2x - sometimes 3x. I'd like to have a solid 3x on weights, just can't work my schedule around it.

    (this doesn't count the half hour walk I take each morning with the dog --- I count the calories expended, since I'm set at a sedentary activity level, but don't consider it a "real" workout)
