    Gosh! I feel like a serious slacker!

    HIIT - 20-30 minutes x2
    Steady state cardio (in the gym) - 30 minutes x1
    Lifting heavy - 30-40 minutes x3
    (Basically three one hour gym sessions)

    Also
    Brisk walking - 40-60 minutes x5 or x6
    Dancing like a crazy person - 90 minutes x1

    It does add up, though. I've been making a conscious effort to take the stairs more (averaging 30 flights a day) and the walking is what I do at lunchtimes.

    Mon- pump, combat
    Tues- CX, combat or swim, balance
    Weds-gym for an hour, yoga

    Haha, I am such a slacker compared to y'all.

    I do pole once per week (hour long class), gymnastics once per week (an hour and a half), and then try to do something active at least twice more in that week. That could mean yoga, going to the gym, going for a run, or heading out for a day of snowboarding.

    I've really just been concentrating on my eating lately, I figure if I can get that to where I want it to be, a more structured exercise routine can come later.

    I do crossfit 5x/wk and the workouts range from 20-45min. So roughly 1hr and 40mins to almost 4hrs a week.

    15 minute warm up, running/jogging/walking 1.50 - 1.75 miles 4 times a week before lifting
    Lift 4 times a week for 50 minutes, concentrating on one muscle group, legs, back, chest, arms
    50 minutes of fat burn exercises i.e. treadmill set at varied inclines and 3.5 - 4.0 speed.
    Break in the middle and at end of fat burn and incorporate core exercises, weighted and non weighted.
    Critique diet daily, obtain calorie goal depending on off day and workout day, de load, etc.

    Good Luck!

    Based on what I read, you're pretty maxed out for time spent in the gym. And it's good you've added strength training to a heavy cardio work out. Try to mix up the type of cardio you do so your body doesn't adapt. Also, steady state cardio will break down your muscle growth, so mix it up with some interval training, HIIT, plyometrics, tabata...stuff like that ;)

    I'll do an hour of strength and 30 min cardio about five days a week, cus I'm more concerned with building muscle.

    Good luck! You're doing great :) Make sure you're eating enough food to fuel that training or your wear yourself out :)

    Goal: 6 hours/week

    Reality: 2-4 hours/week

    But always 2 hours at a pop: 1 hour cardio + 1 hour strength

    lifting - 3 hrs per week (~ 1 hrs 3x weekly)
    light cardio - 1.5 hrs per week (2x45 min sessions...usually just a good walk)
    Sprint HIIT - 1.5 hrs per week ( 3x30 min sessions)

    Total = ~ 6 hrs weekly

    About 6/7 hours a week

    2.-3 hours on strength
    3-4 hours on cardio

    Plus walking to and from work which is about an hour a day 5x a week. But haven't been doing that the past few weeks....winter finally hit.

    1-2 hours strength training, 10-12 hours cardio. I used to do much more but since I started running that is my main focus now. I jog 20+ miles a week

    I run for 50mins a day on the days I run.... about 3 days a week at this point. I walk constantly for about 6 hours a day. I then will Zumba for about 40 mins. Walking is not just your normal walking to the car or stuff..... we are talking 17km walk to get a light globe.

    That's every day.

    Lifting: 2 x 45 min sessions per week with 15 mins sprints (Or HIIT if you like) to warm up.

    1 x 1 hour millitary style circuits

    2 x 20 min 'prison workouts' at home (bodyweight excercises)

    My life as a farmer gives me plenty other cardio.

    About 7 hours of cardio per week, average an hour a day. Really looking forward to spring/summer when I can do 20-mile bike rides, or add a swim to the end of a gym workout.

    its hard to specify how long i workout because first of all when doing cardio i aim for a calorie goal usually 300-400 so depending on what i use that day be it the treadmill or bike it varies, plus when lifting i dont feel as stong every day so i may increase my rest period between sets so i can complete them properly and it also depends on body part and if i do high/low volume training
