I used to do about 30 mins 3 days a week of cardio but I just didn't feel it was enough so now I do 1-2 hours 5-6 days a week. Sometimes is just a run outside, Sometimes it's at the gym and sometimes it's at home doing workout DVDs.
So I was just being a bit nosey really and wondering how much cardio everyone else does a week and if they feel they are doing enough, too much or not enough?
Thanks for any replies.

I do three 55 minute spin classes through the week (sometimes a 4th) and three 20 minute elliptical warm ups before strength. I take one day completely off.0

Am not doing enough ;( So far I am averaging about 3 workouts a week at only 20+ mins, plus squats challenge. Next week I am aiming to increase to 30 mins running sessions 4 times a week. And, being inspired by Rhiannon, going to start the kickboxing workouts.0

You're doing great!!!
I'm really aiming to do about as much as you do
I've not been doing enough for a few days But it was meant to be Recovery week anyway
I did seven hours total the week before
Aiming to double that in the long term
Just started 2 work outs a day but very short ones at the moment, with one long run and one rest day I hope
If I can't do that this week because of meds, I'll try again the next week
Since I started training for triathlon I can't really seem to feel okay unless I do a Multisport work out almost every day.
I think the most I've done consistently week in week out was about seven hours a week. But that was all running.
With more than one sport and strength training I have been able to do that long more easily
That's all makes me Sound really good, That's the most I do. Do a lot less quite often0 -
I do 30 minutes of exercice (cardio and/or weights) 7 days a week. I used to be an overexerciser (2-3 hours/day, 7 days a week) and I do not wish to go back to this, so I`m keeping it at this for now and it`s perfect for me.0

I do about 20 mins. of cardio (usually running intervals) twice a week. I do weights 3 times a week.0

Absolute ZERO.0

When I'm dropping.. 60 minutes 5 days a week.. when I am maintaining.. whenever I want to cheat. LOL0

I do about 5 hours of cardio per week. Plus strength training/hiit.0
-
none , it never did anything for me really. I do yoga and strength training!0

Right now, zero (bulking). I lift 3x/week. When I start cutting again I'll go back to about 30 minutes 2-3x/week. 2 hours a day seems excessive imo.0

You're doing great!
I used to run just about everyday, anywhere from 3-6 miles.
The problem was that my body got so used to that form of exercise that it stopped being challenging,
which meant I wouldn't burn as much. I'm doing a number of things for cardio now, my newest favorite being
a kick-boxing work out0 -
I average 25-35min of HIIT 3-4X week. Bodyweight training 1-2X week (need to do at least 2 every week, but haven't got there yet), & yoga or pilates 2X week for 15-35min. My workouts are typically no more than 40mins per day. I don't have equiptment or go to a gym, just bodyweight & cardio at home.0

Hmm, none really...unless you count some of my karate training.0

Nada.0

I do jumping jacks to warm up... then I'm done with that stuff.0

cardio--->about 210 minutes...about
lifting----> about 70 minutes...about
pushups sit ups other stuff about 20 minutes...about0 -
I don't really see the need to do 2 hours of cardio at a time. I usually do 20-30 min. of aerobics or circuit training (like RI30) in the morning and then some lifting 3x/wk. On the weekends, its one circuit training workout and a run or maybe a day off.0

I walk and bike for transportation, but don't count that because it's just my life.
I run with my dog for 30 minutes maybe 3 times per week. I go to Zumba class 2X week because it's fun, and I do the elliptical or stair machine when my joints can't take dancing or running or to help my deficit if I have been eating too much.
Is there any reason you are trying to do so much cardio? That seems like a lot of time to spend unless it's some activity you really enjoy for its own sake. More cardio won't necessarily get you the results you want. I'd read up on that and make informed decisions...0 -
Officially 2 hours a week. No more. Though (if the weather is nice enough) I do go for walks on occasion on my gym rest days.0
-
I avoid cardio like the plague. Unless you count the obligatory dog walks. But other than that, I consider it against my religion.
Correlation doesn't necessary mean causation, but the cardio heaviest points of my life coincided with my scale-heaviest points. Just food for thought.0
