    That seems rather excessive.

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

    Or overtraining....then you get injured like I am now and you get to do jack **** while you heal...then you really have to watch what you're putting into your mouth.

    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 :)

    OP's total workout is 105 minutes. 5 minutes more than your max. Doesn't seem excessive, really.

    I do at least 20-30 mins of HIIT with weights, 5 x a week.

    I also wear a pedometer and try to hit 10k steps a day - but seem to be averaging around 8k.

    Sometimes a little more.

    For the past month i was cycling 130-195 miles each week. But i am scaling that back to around 100 mi a week. I love tennis and i have been out of it for 11 months because of an ankle injury. With taping i am now able to play twice a week, so will cut back somewhat on the cycling. But it is cycling and calorie watching that has enabled me to lose weight - so i am not giving that up!

    Weight lifting for about an hr/4x a week
    Anaerobic/aerobic work 5x a week. Intensity and duration varies depending on how much needs to get done for the day at work

    The only things I do that I could actually consider a legitimate workout are 3 days a week for 30-45 minutes a day. However I maintain an overall higher activity level between playing with my dogs and aggressive motorcycle riding. Also, I will randomly do bouts of jump rope when I feel like it.

    I workout 30-40 minutes 6 days a week. On the 7th day, I will do light yoga and stretching or rest.

    I do kettlebells and body weight fitness for 90 minutes three times a week. On those evenings I'll also go kayaking for 3 miles. I go for a three mile walk pulling my kids in the wagon on an unpaved trail three times a week and on those evenings I'll also go bike riding for 5 - 10 miles.

    I do roughly 5 hours of cardio a week (typically low intensity stuff) and hit the weights 3 - 4 times (split routine, working each body part once or twice per week).

    I don't.

    I do walk with short jog/run intervals...one hour, four times a week.
    Walk another 2-3 hours with no jogging/running.
    Clean my house top to bottom for 2-3 hours.
    Go on hikes & bike rides every week (one, the other, or both)...and do lots of errands...like 6 hours of errands.

    That's my exercise.

    (Disclaimer: I think it's better to do all this AND "real" workouts, in a gym, etc...but for me that is not gonna happen unless I someday just really change my mind)

    i do 30 min of cardio twice a day and weights for 45 min everyday . How long are your workouts , how many days a week ? Just curious
    Weight lift 2x week - an hour, run 3x week - 5-10k - 1/2 hr to an hour. A body needs recovery time.

    I lift 2 days on/1 day off (so about 4-5 sessions per week), cardio 3-5 times per week (2-3x running 4 or 5 miles, 1-2x cross training on either the stepmill or bike). I do 50 reps on my ab wheel every other night. I also walk anywhere from 3-5 miles per day. This schedule means that I do not typically get a full rest day, which is fine with me.

    ~45 minutes (3-4 weekdays) and ~75 minutes (1-2 weekend days) cardio/strength combined. I typciallyalternate days between Running/weight intervals and BeachBody Videos (T25, Brazil Butt Lift, Great Guaranteed, 10 minute trainer, HIp Hop Abs).

    I ride my bike about 10 hours a week and lift weights three times a week (about 30 minutes/session). I also take a yoga class twice a week.

    It depends on the season for me.

    My schedule from May to August was:
    M - run 30-45 mins
    Tu - 30 minutes lifting, 30 minute bike ride
    W - tri practice: 600M swim, 12 mile bike, 5k run
    Th - 30 minutes lifting, 30 minute bike ride
    F - run 30-45 mins
    Sa - brick workout (18-25 mile bike ride, 5k run)
    Su - Rest

    (sometimes the F/Sa/Su got flopped around, but that was my basic plan during tri season)

    Right now, I'm working to increase my run distance and pace, in hopes of breaking a 30 minute 5k time, and doing a half marathon next year, so my plan looks like this:
    M - 30-45 min fast run (or easy run if my long run is on sunday)
    Tu - 30 min lifting
    W - 30 min tempo run
    Th - 30 min lifting
    F - 30-45 min easy run (or fast run if my long run is on Sunday)
    Sa - 45-60 min long run or rest
    Su - rest or 45-60 minute long run

    I'm hoping to do the local Ironman 70.3 in June 2015, so next summer, I'm planning to do at least one half marathon and one 50-60 mile bike race (plus all of the practice that those require).
