How many hours per week do you workout?
Replies

I roughly workout about an 1 1/2 hrs a day. I do weight training for 30mins and cardio for an hour. So about 9 hours a week with Sundays off.0

About 2.5 to 3 hours per week.
Two brief/intense heavy Crossfit-type circuits that take 20 minutes (followed by 15 minute ab sessions), one 15 minute Russian kettlebell circuit (followed by 15 minute ab workout), two 23 minute HIIT cardio sessions and one "easy" 30 minute incline walk on the treadmill. Six workouts, roughly 2.5 to 3 hours.
It's ALL about the intensity. LESS is MORE.0 -
I work out 6-7 days a week and each workout averages around an hour. This week I am doubling up so between 1.5 and 2 hours a day times at least 6 days (haven't decided if working out Sunday yet!)
Typical week - between 6 and 8 hours working out
This week - between 12 and 15 hours ...0 -
I usually workout between 4-6 hours a week. Sometimes I can get up around 10 if I do two long runs on Sat/Sun. I try to run at least 45 minutes (about 4-5 miles) two to three times a week and then I have workout videos I do at home at least 4 days.0

Regularly, 5 hours a week of yoga classes, 2 hours of home practice. 1 hour a week of Zumba.
When weather and other priorities permit, I add 3 or more hours of rapid walking/jogging, sometimes all on one day, sometimes spread out (for instance, I walked 30 minutes before yoga on Monday and Tuesday. However, it's snowing now, so I'm likely to drive there after work and do my walking in a deserted stairwell at the assisted living facility my grandmother's in.)
Since most of my exercise is yoga, the changes have been slow, but steady. I'm stronger and more flexible, but it definitely wasn't a "holey cow! look at those muscles" kind of change.0 -
Oly tri-training right now, and it's about 10-12 hours a week. Fun!0

I spin for about 2 hours a week and then lift for about 3 hours. Truthfully anything more than this is wasted effort if you do it properly.
If you're training for an event, longer durations are necessary.0 -
5 to 7 depending on what I have going on and how much of a workout I can get in, but it's typically 45 minutes to an hour ten minutes every day with maybe one day off a week, if that.0

I am there 9 hours a week. I do YOGA, a group core class a couple days a week, do cardio and strength train 3 days a week and then 3 days a week I do HIIT. I do enough as it is I dont need anymore. Wednesdays and Fridays I burn 1500-1800 calories a day in exercise.0

15 hours total, but that's a fairly new schedule for me. For the majority of my weight-loss journey, I was doing 7 to 10 hours per week, but I'm pretty close to my goal now, and the last pounds/inches are being incredibly stubborn, so over the past month, I have added some extra cardio, and I'm currently re-working my diet to clean up some of the non-essential fat and sugar. I'm hoping to get to goal by the end of June. At that point, I will cut back on the cardio, but I plan to maintain my current strength training routine, which is a total of 3 hours per week.0

I just found this cite. I was curious about others seeking to be athletes. I ended an over-the-road job with intensive hours 16+ a day.
And being furious with the weight I gained driving- I embarked on a daily exercise regime. I bicycle the local area of my city and use the bike and ped paths for riding while others are at work. I have been riding my mountain bike for nearly 4 years now.
I average 3 1/2 to 4 hours per day (monday through friday) and on the weekends either a standard 3-4 hour ride and recently increase one of sat or sunday to a 7 1/2 hour ride. So my average is 25 to 30 hours a week for my workouts.
I can't do weights yet or running or swimming but hope to in the future with some health issues resolved. I would like to re-open this "Topic" to feedback and see others experience of cardio type 'work-outs' that are over 20 hours per week. If you have or know someone please invite them to share their story with this webpage. I want to find out about their heart rate changes, breathing techniques and endurance. My weight has dropped but only a bit-- and I have changed to mostly salads and fish 1 main meal per day and two snacks-- no sweets. Love to read other's life experiences. Again Thank you 'My Fitness Pal' and all you out there -- that have shared your efforts.0 -
I workout 6-7 hours a week.0

I average about 10 hours a week. 1.5 swimming (2 sessions, 45 min), 5 lifting/cardio machines (6 sessions, 50 min each), 1-3 hours walking (3-5 miles, once or twice a week), 3-4 hours of yoga (2-4 classes, which can run from 50 min to 90 min).0

About 10-12.0

70 mins weights 3 times a week, walk all day at work ( I only sit for 20 mins in an 8 hour day). With a full time job, kids, house/dinner I usually don't get to work out until about 9.30pm. I wish I had time to do more, but for now that will have to do. I am slowly losing weight and gaining muscle so it does seem to work.0

Probably around 4-6 hours a week0
-
5 runs a week, each roughly 1 hour = 5 hours
2 BodyPump sessions a week = 2 hours
2-3 strength training sessions, 40-ish minutes each = 2 hours
So around 9 hours total. I dont count the daily walks with my dog, thats just being a part of "active lifestyle"
P.S. On vacation this week, will cut the workout time in half :drinker: :smokin: :laugh:0 -

wow! you all work out big time! Im aiming for something I can keep up long term and at the moment I do 20-30mins 4-6 days a week. Depends how I feel, I like doing something every day. Im a stay at home mum to 2 boys 3yrs old and 2 yrs old and its hard during the day to get time to just workout and not have to keep stopping so short circuit workouts are great for me! Im hoping as I lose weight and get fitter, Il do more intense and longer workouts x0

-
Walk 4 hours
Run 2-2.5 hours
Lift 1.5 hours
Group exercise 2-3 hours

Depends, usually 2-3 hours spread out over 4-5 days, mostly walking on breaks at work and the occasional walk when I get home from work.0
-
Around 3-6 I guess? It varies so much, as I travel a lot and have minimal childcare available.
I'm usually working in the gym for an hour, or maybe a bit more, and get to go 2-3 times a week. This weekend I only got to go once, but should be able to go 3 times next as my working days are different. I run to/from the gym, which is about a mile.
If I work out at home it's typically 10-30 minutes. Totally depends on my 3 year old.0
