How many minutes per week do you spend on exercise?

EDIT: I will be spending a little over 300 this week. I see so many VERY dedicated people on here though, so I was curious.

    about 180 min give or take 10 or 15. That's about 30 min of exercise 6 days a week.

    Edit: I saw your edit lol. I simply don't have time for more, Full time nursing student, wife, mom to 4.5 year old boy. BUT the good thing is that because I ALWAYS get in my time that I have I've consistently lost weight since last August, paired with proper eating :D

    I shoot for 100 minutes a day, minimum. Today was 125 minutes.

    I take one day off a week, so that's 600 a week minimum.

    This was not to judge. This was to marvel at what we all do. With so many people who say they don't have any time, and the world growing more and more sedentary, this is more of a celebration.

    60 minutes 3-4 times per week so 180-240 mins per week. (running x 60 minutes 3x per week plus a 60 min cardio/interval class)

    I usually do 60-70 minutes at the gym 3 or 4 days a week, plus running 3 miles (30 min) 3 or 4 days a week. I alternate days, so that's why it's not the same exact workout on the same days every week.

    I aim for a min of 60 mins per day 6 days a week at the gym so 360hrs.

    I am a full time stay at home mum & wife with a 6 yr old, 3 yr old twins & a 5 month old.

    Depending on the week I can go between 300 and 600 minutes. I'm currently unemployed, so I have the luxury of time on my hands.

    Well this week I've been pretty active; I've spent over 3000 minutes exercising. But usually I average @ least 2000 per week.

    I used to exercise about 60 min or more a day but now I try to get in at least 30 min a day I find I have difficult meeting my calorie intake if I do more than 30 min ever since I found out I was allergic to yeast so I cut it back to 30 min so I can meet my calorie intake and a lot of times I still have trouble even meeting the minimum of 1200 calories a day at that because I have so very little foods to choose from. I have to eat very natural foods and a lot of fruits and veggies which is very healthy but not very calorie dense but very filling. So it has worked well for my diet but this has all just started so it is a learning process for me with the exercise and diet so trying to find a proper adjustment to find what I will lose weight on then I will figure out how I can bump up the cardio without throwing my body into shock.

    I'm still fairly new to the exercising, but I've been averaging between 90 - 100 minutes a day. I do walking/running and stretching for an hour and strength training for 30 - 40 minutes depending on the day and my ability to follow through. So, 540 - 600 per week.

    I'm a stay at home mom, so I was averaging about 500-600 a week but now that my kids are home for the summer, more like 300-400 as I can't make it to the gym nearly as often and am doing the 30 day shred and just walking instead.

    I get in 60 mins a day 6 days a week. Now all of that is not necessarily exercise persay. I wear a bodybugg so when ever my sensor senses an increase of activity the time goes up.

    Just over 300 minutes a week. I wish it were more, but it's better than the 0 minutes I used to exercise before. :wink:

    Me too. A little over an hour about 6 days a week..... Try to rest my body 1, but don't always stick to it.

    The past 7 days, I did 410.

    Wow. I wouldn't possibly have the time for that. I wish!
