    That seems rather excessive.

    I work out 5-6 days a week for 30-100 min.

    Lift for approximately 80 minutes, 4 days a week. Cardio1-2 times a week for 30 minutes, or mountain bike for 90 minutes or so a few times a week in place of cardio.

    I weight train for around 40 minutes 3 times a week (4 weeks into 5x5 strong lifts) , and I swim for either 20 minutes (sprints) or an hour (laps) for an hour or so 3-4 times a week.

    I walk/run on treadmill 5 or 6 days a week for 30-45 minutes each time. I am getting ready to start lifting weights in a few weeks when things slow down, then I will probably cut out some of the treadmill.

    I have etched in stone circuit training for 30 minutes Monday Wednesday and Friday. In between those days I might do 30 or more minutes of walking if it is available.. I was walking everyday with my toddler, but we had an incident a few days ago two minutes into our walking the neighborhood... the stroller support bar on the bottom snapped, and the stroller collapsed with her in it... we abandoned the stroller and walked home! Thankfully she is okay.. we are looking for another stroller to begin walking again. We live in Arizona where it is hot and it is just now starting to cool off.. PERFECT walking weather! :) In the mean time, I am doing aerobics for 30 minutes or dancing.. anything to get the heart going :)

    about 3-4 times a week for about 30-45 minutes. 2-3 of those are strength training, the other one - two are hikes, bike rides, etc (cardio)

    I don't have the energy for any more than that, LOL

    I'm currently doing nothing as I recover from an over-training injury. I should be back on track mid October and will be dialing it down a notch. It's really easy to overtrain and it finally caught up to me after a year or so of this. So far my re-vamped regimen is looking like this:

    Monday: Maintenance Run (3 miles)
    Tuesday: Weight Training (45-60 minutes)
    Wednesday: 60 minutes cycling; EZ pace miles (~ 15 miles)
    Thursday: Weight Training (45-60 minutes)
    Friday: REST
    Saturday: Cyclocross/Cross Country cycling (45-60 minutes); this includes a lot of sprinting as well as trail tech
    Sunday: Weight Training (45 - 60 minutes)

    For the last few months, I've really let things get out of hand and have neglected to follow my own advise I give to others about overtraining. I was doing stupid crap like going for a 3-5 mile run in the morning, doing a ruck out with a 50 Lb weighted pack at lunch, and then hitting the gym to lift in the evenings...or taking in a run at lunch and then hitting the cyclocross course in the evening...stuff like that, just over doing it and pushing myself way to hard and wasn't giving myself any rest days whatsoever...a typical rest day for me usually constituted at least a 20 mile ride on my bike...that isn't "rest." Now I'm paying the piper.

    Right now I do about 30 minutes of cardio four days a week. I do weights for another 45 or so minutes twice a week. I hope to up both of those - five days of cardio, three days of weights but. baby steps!

    i prefer to eat less than work out more. But some people enjoy food or working out. I enjoy sleep. I am dedicated to sleep, so I am dedicated to eating less so I don't have to use my time working out quite as much.

    I have fibromyalgia and severe arthritis in one knee, so my workouts are a bit more sedate than most of yours. I do twenty minutes of yoga every morning and have a two days on, one day off routine of biking for 45 minutes.
