    holy crap how do u swim for an hour or two? I luv swimming but I get bored so quickly... probably doesn't make any sense. Do they have under water head phones? I feel like I could definitely swim longer with some tunes.
    I'm just starting to workout so I aim for an hour a day.

    I swim one hour of laps and take a one hour water aerobics class right after. I bought a waterproof IPod with waterproof earphones (short cord that clips to my swim cap) and just zone out to my tunes or an audiobook while swimming.

    About 75 minutes 4x during the week (crossfit), 2 hours on Satuday mornings (crossfit and supplemental lifting) and about an hour run every other Sunday so about 7 or 8 hours a week.

    65 minutes of cardio 5 days a week and then 3 of those days I do 15-20 minutes of weights after the cardio.

    Roughly 90 minutes 4 days a week. Tues/Thurs is split between cardio & lifting, Sat/Sun is all lifting.

    If you're getting over it, find new things you like to do. If you get bored with routine, rotate things in and out.

    1 hour walking outside (weather permitting, we get a lot of ice) or in my underground parking garage (6 times around is just over a mile) T-Sa

    90 minutes to 2 hours 5 days/week doing about 1/4 cardio, 1/4 calisthenics and 1/2 strength/weight training. The other two days I walk the dogs about 2-3 miles each day.

    I do a 30 minute run on the treadmill 5 days a week. I use the universal machines Monday, Wednesday and Friday this usually takes 45 minutes along with 30 minutes on the elliptical.
    Tuesday and Thursday I take a 45 minute spin class. Saturday is an hour spin class.

    I only go to the gym once a week doing 1-2 hours mix of cardio/weights
    I also walk about 20-30 mins a day
    Also 20 mins on my exercise bike daily :)
    I work 40 hours a week in a hospital too and am on my feet the majority of the time!

    Honestly there isn't a magic number...it's all based on what you train for
