    I'm a college student, so I spend about an hour a day walking because of classes. I've been a little cardio-crazy lately, so I've also been either using the elliptical for an hour or running on the indoor track for about 45 minutes. I usually take off one day each week.

    I do about fortyminutes four times a week. No one is in my apartment early in the morning so I don't get embarrassed when I do a fitnessblender workout on youtube for half an hour and then do cool down jogging laps around my apartment for ten minutes afterwards.

    35-40 minutes, 4-5 times a week. I also do strength training before cardio.

    30-55 minutes a day. I usually aim for burning an average of 500 calories a day.

    Seasonal for me. Lots of elliptical in winter which I have no problem doing everyday, to jogging in the spring/summer. I can't do that more than two or three times a week cause my joints hate me for running.

    It depends on your goals.

    Weight loss - concentrate on moderate - vigorous cardio
    Body recomp - concentrate of lifting, use cardio for cardiovascular fitness

    Whatever is on my training plan for the day. Usually at least 90 minutes (walking, running, swimming, cycling)
