I personally prefer 20-40mins of CRAZY intense workout (I like to burn 120+ calories/per 10min)...... this will be like doing insanity, or turbo fire HIIT, or sprinting-running intervals.....

What about you guys?? Would you rather workout for longer at a moderate intensity or shorter with high intensity??

    Short high intensity workout. I like to get in and out of the gym as fast as possible.

    Same here. HIITs are perfect.

    Depends on my energy level. If I'm really not feeling it I stay for a longer time at a lower intensity to get as many calories burned as I can, but If I'm having a positive, not so drained from work kind of day... I love high intensity. I try to be careful because I have a heart murmur, and it tends to start doing it's weird rhythm thing if I over work my heart.. But ya.

    I like to street run better than the gym, hurts my *kitten* more ;)

    Depends on the workout that I am doing. If its zumba I like to to take my time cause its fun, If i'm running I like to take my time cause it is relaxing and mind clearing for me. If its Taebo I like to work my hardest and burn as much as soon as I can.. not my fav. workout... same with the elliptical I put it on full and go go go to get it over with LOL
