    I do about 20 minutes cardio (10 minutes at the start and finish) and then about 30/40 minutes weights, 4/5 times a week

    If I go to the gym, I'm paying the drop-in rate, so I'll go for a good 1.5 hours. And it will be mostly cardio.

    30-60 cardio
    30-45 strength
    20 warmup, stretch, rolling

    I used to do this 6-7x/week for like 2 years but now I'm down to no more than 3x and I'm proud of that. I can get carried away sometimes.

    My strength training is typically 30-45 minutes tops. Depending on the type and what I'm training for, my cardio/conditioning can be anything from 10 minutes to 5 hours (but usually 15-60 minutes though) Other than my long endurance training, my typical workout session is almost always under an hour.

    90 minutes lifting (2 to 3 minutes between sets), followed by 30 minutes of cardio, usually running or stationary bike.

    I have/can spend up to 2.5 hours at the gym. However, this usually happens when the gym is packed and I have to wait to do some of the exercises i want to do or I get chatting or I choose to do a full stretch machine. I've noticed my chest/shoulders/triceps lifting day takes me the longest to complete.

    2-2.5 hours of lifting. No cardio. 4x per week. Some sessions at the beginning of a training cycle can be finished in 1.5 hours. Later in a cycle it can take me an hour just to squat.

    I have to use the gym at my work so I really only have an hour to get in a workout. But that is just for lifting, if I am going to run I might go longer if it is at home, but lately my runs have been about half an hour.

    Most of my weight training sessions take 30-40 minutes. I keep my rest periods to a minimum.

    About an hour to an hour and a half. I do cardio for 30-50 minutes then shower. I don't like driving home all sweaty and gross. Lately, I've been skipping the gym and just running at home.

    45 minutes. 30 cardio and roughly another 15 with weight lifting because I'm a baby and I have no idea what I'm doing.

    10 min cardio warm up, to get blood flow to muscles
    30 min strength (full body target) , muscle burns fat while at rest
    20-30 min cardio, cardio after strength makes your body dip into fat reserve for energy
    3 days per week
    I used to have a trainer and this was the routine.

    I currently workout 6 days a week
    3 days with 60 min cardio (Mix of HIIT and moderate levels)
    3 days a week 60 min of weight lifting and 30 minutes of moderate cardio afterwards.
    This gets me thru the winter, then I switch to biking 4+ days a week.

    I typically try to workout every day (except I usually factor in one rest day, usually Sunday), but that doesn't necessarily mean at the gym. A typical day for Lauren includes: 30-45 mins of cardio, which is usually running the loop, on the treadmill, or eliptical. Then I do 10-15 mins of core. I alternate days with cardio and lifting. One of my favorite cardio activities is biking! Really works the legs and glutes!
