Does anyone else work out two hours a day?

I started out working out for 30 min then started working out for an hr and im slowly making my way up to 2 hrs not intentionally. Its just been nice out and I live in a small community where its lovely to just get out and walk stop and talk to the neighbor. I do think it i helpful because then I dont have to worry so much bout my calories because im burning so many calories.

I worked out for four hours a day one time

I lost 250lbs and while I was doing it, I was working out at the gym 2 to 2.5 hours for 5 days a week, and eating about 2,400 calories. Keep in mind I'm 6'6" and even at my goal weight I'm 240lbs.

For the 16 month I've been maintaining, I still workout about 2 hours/5 days a week at the gym, plus I run or bike 3-4 times a week for an hour at a time. Now I eat around 3,600-4,500 calories depending on the day.

I do about 1hr 30 minute workouts. I do more cardio than anything, need to add strength to my routine. I do do yoga after workouts to keep my joints and bad leg limber. so that's a little strength training but only do that for 10 minutes max.

I usually do 45 minutes/day during the week, and then maybe a little longer on the weekends. I mix up HIIT, biking,walking, family sporting activities, weights, etc. I have not lost that much weight, but I have lost inches and gained muscle and strength. I feel like I have too many other obligations to myself and my family that I would feel guilty if I spent 2 hours a day every day working out. My exercise time is very important to how I feel every day, so I am good about setting aside some time every day to exercise, but not 2 hours a day. Different things work for different people, but many people on this forum have lost weight without doing much exercise.

2-2.5hrs per session 3x a week (no cardio). Not for the purpose of weight (fat) loss. That is what the calorie deficit is for.

2 hours..hmmmnnnn make it fun and vary the intensity..I enjoy 45 to an hour a day but its fun playful and only sometimes intense..
usually when we are stuck its almost alwayd how you are eating!

so I think I am going to up my gym time and up my calories and hope the two balance out

Increasing your calories will make your deficit smaller.
Increasing gym time will make your deficit bigger.

They don't balance out, they cancel each other out so you're right back to where you started.

Not necessarily. I don't know the context your referring to considering the quote, but eating more can facilitate extra gym time without creating a bigger deficit, that's not a bad thing. Extra calories consumed may not actually equate to an equal amount of gym time......it could be beneficial in either scenario depending on someones goals.

Her goals are weight loss. For performance reasons I would agree with what you're saying. I didn't say her deficit would be bigger. I will use a cheap example, she eats 1,300 calories a day and she increases it to 500 calories a day and she burns 500 calories a day(this likely won't happen) she will be at 1,300 net calories, right where she started.

More than likely, she won't burn an equal amount. She will more than likely burn less, it's easier to take calories from diet, not so much easier to burn it off.

I hear ya. I've never actually counted calories while losing my 60 lbs, now I'm mostly mucking with composition. I found calorie restriction very one dimensional. The method I use now is lift weight. When progress stalls in lift weight, I eat more, not a lot, but more and increase lift weight until I stall again, then repeat that process. I can't be bothered with counting considering the inaccuracies........then again I'm not looking for immediate results, the process is what I like and enjoy, and I'll continue this way indefinitely.

It really depends on you and what your workout routine is.. Me and my best friend work out 2-3 hours 7 days a week. but manily cuz we do alot of dancing n when dancing time just flies n doesn even feel like your working out. ive been dancer since i wa young so i know that dancing along with 30-45 mins of strength trainning every other day helps me.

^^^^ This... I did Just Dance and Michael Jackson - Wii for the firs 60 for 3 -2 hrs daily, except Sundays, where I clean and/or play with the kids and Hubby on the Wii...

This last week, (Monday, April 22nd), I was getting bored and started Zumba exhilarate DVD's which I do between 1 1/2 - 2 hrs, depending on if I do the Zumba Ripped ( strength training with Zuma toning sticks) every other day...
