I am just curious, how much exercise every one does a day and how many days a week you exercise?

I am a triathlete and distance runner. I usually workout/train about 3 hours a day 6 days a week.0
-
5 days a week for about an hour each day. I do a mix of weight lifting and cardio.0
-
I try to do some exercise every day.
Usually it's anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes all together (depends on how I feel that day):
warm-up + a HIIT workout (10-20min.) + extra ab exercises + cool-down & stretching.
I also try to do some yoga at least once a week.0 -

6 days: Most days are 1-1.5 hours, except on long runs or races.
Sunday: 5 or 6 miles
Monday: weights or bootcamp (1 hr)
Tues: running speedwork (1.5hrs)
Wed: run 3-5 miles (45 min ish), plus weights or bootcamp (1 hr)
Thurs: hill sprints (1 hr)
Friday: day off
Saturday: long run (12-22 miles) or race (13-31 miles)0 -
45 minutes lifting 2-3 days a week
30 minutes cardio 2-3 days a week. Maybe.0 -
3-6 days a week (basically if I have time it is 6 days a week, but if I am very very busy that week than I go 3 days) I work out for an hour. 30 mins cardio, 30 mins weights/machines.0

I lift M, T, Th, F. M & Th it's 3 exercises, 5 sets of 5 reps for upper body (bench, bent over rows & overhead press) T & F it's two exercise 5 sets of 5 reps lower body (squats and deadlifts). On upper body days I run (sometimes for a flat pace, sometimes intervals) and maybe do more cardio after I lift or some yoga, depending on my time. On lower body days, I do a dedicated ab workout and a 10 minute cardio video or two after. Wednesday is my cardio day, yester day I ran and did yogao, the week before I did a 30 minute boot camp video. On Thursday evenings, my daughters have gymnastics, and there is a little workout area that I can pay $20 a session for that over looks the gym, so while they're in class I do the elliptical (if I get there first, otherwise more treadmill) for 30-40 minutes and watch them, if they make it to the area in front of where I am. I've also been doing a bit of running or walking on my treadmill each evening, but that's not an all the time, scheduled thing like my morning workouts. I rest on the weeknds, although also might throw something in, depending on how I feel. My workouts typically do not take more than an hour.0

Really, it just depends on your fitness goals. If you want to run a marathon or participate in triathlons and the like, you need a lot more cardio and endurance training. If you wanted to body build, you'd need a lot more time lifting. I'm just looking to be generally fit, good heart health, and strong with a fitness body so the above works for me.0 -
6 days a week, bright and early 4:30 am
3 days cardio (C25K training plan so the actual time varies)
3 days strength (30 min to 1 hour depending on how much time I have)0 -

I do 1 hour and 20 mins. Thats about how long it takes me to burn 500 calories according to my HRM. I do that 5x a week. Strength train 3x a week.0

exactly. If you did my work outs, you could be an ultra-marathoner, too! ha ha! but, most people aren't into that sport and are more into being generally healthy and physically fit.0 -
About 90 minutes a day, 6 days a week.0

I try for six days a week, two hours a day.0

I try to exercise everyday, I aim to burn 1k+ calories a day.0

For me it varies. I try to do some exercise every day, but sometimes it's just a few mini-workouts on my breaks at work, sometimes it's a long hike, sometimes Turbo Fire workouts, which vary from 15 - 60 min. Sometimes Zumba, running, walking, calisthenics, weights, resistance bands, swimming, playing on the water slide, playing with the grandkids, gardening, yard work... Sometimes I workout several times a day, sometimes only once. I just try to stay as active as possible when not sitting at my desk, which I do for too many hours.0

I'm up to six days a week now. I try to get in at least 45 minutes, but prefer to go for 90 minutes total when I can.
I'm back to doing just high intensity cardio right now while I try to get to my goal weight, but then will shift back to 50/50 weights and cardio so that I can work on my muscle tone.0 -
I walk 40 minutes (in 3 pieces) 5 times a week at work
I sometimes walk another 20 minutes in the evening
I'm starting to do a 25-30 minute low-impact DVD in the evenings
It's way more than I was doing before.0 -

That's insane unless you know how to fuel it...use your diet for weight control, exercise for fitness0 -
I try to do cardio at various levels every day. I do simple circuits a few times a week. I' working mostly for increased endurance, flexibility and mobility.0
-
CrossFit weekday mornings for usually 45-60 minutes. Then I either hike or mountain bike one day each weekend. Hikes are 4-6 hours. Rides are 2-4 hours. If I backpack on the weekends, which means hiking both Saturday and Sunday, then I take Monday as a rest day.
ETA: I also take my dog on our nightly 2-mile pack walk (takes about 45-55 minutes depending on how fast I feel like going).0
