    I'm not one for structure, so I workout out whenever I feel like it for as long as I feel like it. Sometimes that's 30 minutes, sometimes it's two hours. Frequency varies between 3-6 days a week.

    Gym 4-5 days a week. My main focus is cardio so I aim for 30 minutes a session at least. I do around 10-15 minutes on machines and lifting. I'm just starting out on weights and I don't want to push myself too hard just yet. I try to incorporate exercises that use my own body weight as resistance, such as crunches, reverse crunches, push ups and squats. I do 4 sets of 25 of each exercise.

    I'm trying to up my cardio at the moment, using the 50+miles challenge this month as motivation. I'm going for 100 miles personally.

    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.


    I feel your pain... :-( My knees take a beating!! But I push myself through a 60min Zumba 3-4 times a week. I used to take Yoga classes, think I'll take it up again. Less stress on the joints, I'm sure.

    Hi All :) I train in Kempo Karate and Kickboxing 5 times a week and lift 1-2 times a week. My Karate class is about 45 minutes, and my Kickboxing is 1 hour. I am completely drenched after each workout - and MAN does it feel good!!

    That seems rather excessive.

    I work out 5-6 days a week for 30-100 min.
    No , just dedication ..

    Yeah, it all depends on what you're going for. I know lots of runners that do two a day runs plus some weights when they are working toward a goal race. Beyond a certain point, you don't improve without lots of time working out -- at least running.

    Personally, I run every day and do weights for 45 min every other day.

    I have 1 no exercise day a week.

    I work 12.5 hour shifts 3 varying days a week, so I squeeze workouts in and do the best I can with my schedule. On my days off, I usually run in the early morning and weight train or bootcamp in the evening. I sometimes run or weight train after work.

    Run 3-4 days a week 35-40 minutes.
    Strength train, transitioning into Stronglifts 1 hour 2-3 days a week.
    Outdoor bootcamp 90 minutes 2-3 days a week.

    I run 6 days a week (5 days on my lunch break, two more group runs with my marathon training group) and strength train twice a week with two shorter post-group-run core/stretching workouts. All told, I probably workout 6-9 hours a week.

    Right now I am doing ChaLEAN Extreme and following the schedule. I'm just starting week 2 so it might change but so far it's been about 35 min of circuit weight training 3 times a week and cardio twice a week (once coupled with a short ab workout and once with a 20 min yoga stretch workout).

    I also do a lot of yard work (mowing, weed eating, gardening, chopping wood) and hiking.

    I was doing 60-90 mins cardio 4 or 5 times per week before I started Insanity, now I am just sticking to that program.

    4 days - 45 mins each day strength training on a weight lifter's progression chart
    5 days - bike 40 mins at +/- 12-14MPH on paved hilly terrain

    A rest day from weight lifting in the middle of the week seems to keep me well rested for my heavy lifting
    Weekends are complete rest days, and my middle-aged body needs it. I don't recover as fast as you younger folk do....

    I work out 5-6 days a week. I run 2 days for 20-30 minute each, and am starting to incorporate in a long run once a week, which will be about 45 minutes. On the other days, I do 10-30 minutes of strength. For the most part, it's about 30 minutes per day with a day off whenever I feel like I need it (1-2 times a week).

    I hula hoop, march in place, walk outside, do cardio videos, act a fool in my living room for 35 minutes to an hour M-F. I go walking somewhere like a park ( my favorite is a Wilderness Preserve where I see a ton of bunnies ) once a week on Saturdays that is normally an hour.

    So..210 to 360 minutes of cardio a week?

    It's puny compared to you other guys but I'm just tryin' to have fun at the moment :)
