I typically go to the gym at 5AM every day or every other day. I stay about an hour every time, with about a 10-15 minute warm-up and then varying strength training moves for the rest of the 45 minutes. On the days that I don't make it to the gym, I try to do something at home or take a Zumba class (1 hr). I'm not sure if this is atypical, but I was just curious to see what others out there were doing.

Thanks for the help!

    I typically go to the gym at 5AM too, every weekday. I start with a 40 minute interval cardio program on the machine. I used to do splits (sprint/run) for 40 minutes but knees decided that I couldn't do that anymore. I then do about an hour of weight training (back/bi's/abs) (chest/tri's/calves) (leg day/abs) and use my weekend as my break day. I think my workout is more atypical than yours is. Actually, it looks pretty typical, kind of like a 3/4 split without the cardio days. A lot of people do a cardio warm up before strength training and some afterwards.

    I usually do 30-45 minutes of cardio, and anywhere from an hour to 1.5 hours of weightlifting.

    I do set programs on dvd. Most range from 22 minutes to 45 minutes. I see more results from these than when I was working out at a gym for over an hour a day.

    30 to 60 minute bike ride after work most days, occasionally longer. Sometimes I'll go for a run instead. Weekends I'll usually do a 3 to 4 hour bike ride one day and spend most of the other day hiking. I spend my lunch break walking but that's not really a workout, and do a body weight workout every other day.

    Half hour to 45 minute run.
    Hour or 1.5 hour yoga classes, but those have a beginning and end that are sitting/laying so 30-60 minutes active for those.
    Lifting, 15 minutes or less usually.

    8 hours of workouts in an average week for me. 5:30 am for running 3x week, 6am for morning yoga 2x week, plus evening yoga classes 3x week.

    I want to run more like an hour but am not back to that yet, still coming back slowly and carefully from an achilles injury.

    Varies with the time of year. Right now, gym (weights) MWF, roughly a hour each day. Bike to work (5 miles / 25 minutes each way) on Tuesday and Thursday, and most days one to two hours of walking or biking in the evening.

    I run 3 (sometimes 4) days a week (usually about 40-60 minutes), every other day I walk, and/or HIIT and strength training. Sundays I always walk, about 2.5 - 3hrs.

    I've been sick for over 2 months so have been doing little or nothing. Trying to get well. However, when I was healthy I was doing 20 minutes of calisthenics to warm up, an hour and 15 minutes of weight lifting, and then a 2 mile jog/walk on M-W-F for a combined daily total of a bit over 2 hours. On T-TH I was up to 18 miles on my bike, about an hour and 15 minutes or so, and Saturday was my long ride day, anywhere from 40 - 60 miles (About 3 1/2 - 5 1/2 hours).

    I leave my house between 5:30 and 6:30AM, get to the gym by 7:45AM and usually do an hour of varied lifting (I split my days into upper and lower...lower has two "sections" which alternate days...power and heavy) + 30-minutes cardio. Today I tried something a little different... 45-minutes lifting and 45-minutes cardio + 20-minutes of stretching and ab circuits when I arrive home from work. Putting in extra time since summer is right around the corner (and I'm spending a week on a Yacht in 37 days surrounded by my super in-shape friends, so that's motivation in itself)

    My workouts start at 6AM and I typically do a 30 minute cardio/HIIT workout and then I lift weights varying the day of the week with a different body part ie. Mon & Fri are legs and Abs, Tues are Back and Bi's, etc. for an hour or so. I take Sunday's off every week.

    60-90 minutes for weight training. This includes time to warm up as well light cardio and/or ab work to finish and occasionally foam rolling.
