How long does it take people to complete their strength training?
I'm doing the 5x5 program at the moment and I do it in under half an hour, so I have plenty of time to do cardio.
(Although today I had to do it with dumbells because I couldn't be assed to wait for the only barbell in the gym).

30 minutes when I started, since I could take 30-45 second rests.
Much longer ow that I take 2-3 minute rests.0 -
anywhere between 45-60 minutes0

Well at the gym I do 3 barbell lifts, one bodyweight exercise, 2 isos for calves. Takes maybe a bit over an hour depending on if I'm on A (1x5 deadlifts) or B (5x3 power cleans) The 5 sets of power cleans means more rest periods adding time.0

45 to 60 mins0

45-60 minutes.0

When I first started Strong lifts it took about 30min. as the weight got heavier and I took longer in-between sets up to 90 mins. I also did a few assistance exercises at the end0

45 mins max. I only train one body part a day (with the exception of training shoulders and hamstrings the same day).

One hour is a standard amount of time for a lifting session.0

Its only my second session at the moment and I'm only doing 10kg overall.0 -
30-60 minutes just the strength training.0

The trainer at my gym recommended is 5 minutes cardio warm up, 30 minutes strength, 20 minutes cardio, 5 minutes cardio cool down.0

Depends. Right now, I'm just starting out a new program. Took only a few minutes. Later on, it'll take more like 45 minutes when I'm at the max set/rep count.0

Good to know.0 -
You should be doing some light cardio to warmup and some stretching. Plus, to take full advantage, do cardio after lifting weights so you burn off glycogen. Figure:
Warmup Cardio: 5 mins
Stretching: 5 mins
Lift 1 (3x5 warmup sets, 5x5 regular sets): 10 minutes
Lift 2 (3x5 warmup sets, 5x5 regular sets): 10 minutes
Lift 3 (3x5 warmup sets, 5x5 regular sets): 10 minutes
That's a baseline of 40 minutes, doing 1 set approx every 60 seconds (which is pretty intense).
Add 15 minutes of cardio, and another 5 minute cooldown and you're looking at 60 minutes in the gym, baseline.0 -
about 450

I'm rarely ever at the gym for more than 60 minutes at a time.0

My New Rules of Lifting for Women sessions range from 45 min. (stage 1, 2x15 on 5 moves with 60 sec. rest bet. sets) to 120 minutes (stage 5, 4x4 on 8-9 moves with 120 sec. rest between sets and body-weight matrix or HIIT afterwards)0
