I work out 4 days a week for 1-2 hours with mixture of cardio and weights. I'm wondering if this is enough . Thinking of adding a run or swim in 2 days a week and just having 1 rest day. What works for you?

    2 days weights (45 min max), one to 2 days HIIT Cardio (Sprint 8 program) 20 mins max ea. Keep 3 rest day/s week, unless trying to lose muscle.

    I do Jazzercise daily. Plus a daily walk, tai chi and one yoga class a week. This gives me cardio, a long fat burning walk, meditation/balance and flexibility. Oh, and I'm 65.

    I train BJJ and muay thai 3-4 times a week, and lift twice a week...I try to get in one or 2 extra cardio sessions, but my schedule doesn't always permit that.

    ...but I lost close to 30 pounds just lifting 3x a week and not doing anything else.

    MWF - Stronglifts 5x5 plus light cardio (usually walking)
    TT - Running (typically...though if I'm stuck at home I'll do a workout dvd or something)
    S - occasionally I run, but mostly it's a walk day
    Sun - just walking

    6 days a week. 3 days weight lifting exercises from the book "Strong" + 10 min HIIT on treadmill, 3 days C25k. Off day will usually do a "hike" with kids, or trip to the zoo or park to get some light walking.

    6 days a week jogging. My time varies depending on how I feel but at least 35 min. I do it because it's a new found activity that I enjoy and look forward to each morning.

    I workout 5x a week, sometimes due to class I can only make 3. When I do, its just about 2 hours of cardio.

    5-6 days per week. I usually cycle 5 days per week and I lift 3x per week. Mondays and Wednesdays are usually two-a-days as I cycle in the AM and lift in the PM.

    I do martial arts for 90 minutes 3x a week, a Movnat class 2x a week, Insanity Max30 2x a week, and use a minicycle for about 15 hours per week. But what is right for me probably isn't right for you.

    You need to figure out what your fitness goals are, and what you can sustainably do to reach your goals.
