30-40 minutes, 2-4 times per week.
A good workout can easily happen in 20-30 minutes. Most people don't need to spend nearly as much time workout out as they do.

My lifting (which is most of what I do) is about 60-80 minutes 4 times a week.0

Research Stronglifts 5x5: 30 mins 3x per week.0

3x per week for 60-120 minutes, depending on what kind of time I have available and how much overtime I've been working. Minimum of 3 hours a week tho.0

Three days a week. Time spent per workout is mostly decided by my rest periods. If I hit all my reps easily then 90 second rest periods mean I can be in and out in 30 minutes. If I hit them, but it's tough, then three minute rests make it more like 45 to 60 minutes. If it's a bad day and I'm missing reps then five minute rest periods can extend it to 90 minutes.0

Once or twice a week for 20 minutes.0

About an hour, three times a week. Though it's actually been a little more lately, maybe 1.5 hours including warmups.0

I lift 3 times per week using dumbbell 1.9 kg doing 3 reps of 15 dumdbell shoulder press squats.0

4-5 days a week, 45-60 minutes each trip
I try to sneak in 20 minutes of HIIT cardio in about 2 or 3 of those days0 -
I just began last week, so I do 5 minutes cardio warm up and then about 30 minutes lifting 3 days a week.0

45-60 mins x 3 a week0

I spend an hour at the gym lifting, 4 days a week. I'm not lifting the entire hour, but I am there to lift. I have no idea what my actual lifting time really is. That would be interesting to calculate sometime.
I also have started cardio 3 days a week at the gym. So, that's another 30+ minutes. Plus, on weekends I am running and doing yoga. So, I dunno. I spend a lot of freaking time on myself. Some people think I'm insane.
Maybe I am.
Or maybe you see yourself as a priority :flowerforyou:0 -
Right now 30 mins 3 times a week for lifting. But I love it so darn much. I feel mega sexy when I lift--who knew?!? I plan on increasing that at some point.0
-
I lift M, W, F for 45 - 70 min depending on where I'm at in my lifting cycle and how long my rests end up being.
I also try and grab some HIIT once per week minimum, hiking, biking, walking and going to hot yoga pretty much every day also.0 -
I work full time and am a single Mom, I just ordered T25...I think it will definitely produce results...0
-
30-45 mins 3-4 days a week. With a 10-15 min cardio warm up to start.0

Powerlifter here. I train 3-4x a week for approximately 2-2.5hours at a time. Sometimes less but usually more. Mainly because I love it so much.
Normally takes about 30-45mins to warm up including mobility work and working up to work sets. (except bench cause I am not very good at that)0 -
About 40 mins 4-5 times a week.
You could look at doing full body compound lifting 3xweek might suit you better and get good results.0 -
I'm usually 60-90 minutes / 4days per week of just lifting but that includes:
- pre-workout stretch / mobility
- warm-up sets
- work sets
- post-workout stretching
I try and get in another 45-min of cardio at least during the week.0
