    I train at home 6-7 days a week. I don't train for hours, but get in around 30-45 min each time alternating between cardio and weight training. Plenty for me!

    Right now I'm following a program with an app called Bodbot. It's currently a combo of weightlifting, bodyweight work and cardio.

    Oh and I sometimes play tennis but I don't really count that as training.

    6-7 days per week, with 2 workouts on some of the days. I do crossfit 3 days, I run 2 days, weightlift 1-2 days, and do calisthenic workouts/gymnastic movements and isometric holds 3-4 times per week.

    Anywhere from 3-5 days a week, depending on what my week looks like schedule-wise. Usually 2-3 sessions lifting and 1-2 LISS cardio days.

    ^^^i got tired just looking at that.

    Seven days a week, including long walks, shorter runs, yoga, Pilates and weight training.

    I set my watch’s move goal to 750. As long as I make that every day I’m fine, but I usually go well over.

    6 days a week 3/3 cardio strength days.
    Cardio for me is a 2 mile run which takes me around 20/25 mins and strength days are 40 mins either upper body or lower body with my main focus being glutes,back and abs atm but making sure I hit legs arms and chest aswell. I tend to follow videos as Im still learning but Its working for me so far.
    I also walk 4/5 miles a day everyday with my dogs.
    I'll eventually build my own training program when I'm more knowledgeable about things haha

    6-7 days a week (if you count a 20min easy run as a workout, which I don't)

    I run anything between 1.5 and 13.1 miles 7 days a week.
    I train with a PT 4-5x week
    I go to around 10 classes a week.
    I strength train 3x week
    And I stretch (and do piyo) 3-5x a week.

    Average around 2.5hrs a day mon-sat with Tuesday my really crazy day (30-60min PT, zumba, chest/back, run, insanity, boxercise, about 4hr altogether but spaced over the day). But exercise is what I enjoy, I built up to this and it's my way of dealing with a very confusing world (I'm autistic)

    Everyday. Min 30 mins cardio daily. Lifting 3x/week.

    I generally try to do something every day with some of the workouts being active recovery. Some days it'll be a double depending on where I am in a training cycle.

    Weight room 3x per week...one day with a trainer and the other two on my own. I'm active most days though beyond lifting. I walk a lot, road ride, mountain bike, etc. Unfortunately, with the time change coming, cycling and mountain biking will be relegated to weekends as it will be too dark in the morning and too dark after work.

    I’ve been doing 5 hours of planned exercise at the gym over 3-4 days but I’m trying to reduce it down to 3 hours to give myself more time to recover. I work on my feet quite a lot of the time, walk on average 8k per day and haul a small child around the place too.

    Maintenance always is low-impact which I don't count: Flexibility routines
    Workout proper is TWICE daily, in the AM and in the PM (evening), 5 days a week.

    I lift for about 40 minutes, 3x per week. Daily step count is about 12k to 15k steps. Sometimes 18k if the dogs are feisty.

    Daily. I workout at home and am following a program that’s 30 minutes a day. 2 of those days are active recovery days (Pilates and Yoga) and the rest are a mix of cardio and strength training. I also run 3x a week.

    When I'm training for a big triathlon I usually train five days a week with one day of rest. In the off season I like to lift in the gym three days a week. Nothing big just circuits and machines.

    4-5x/week. 15-33 minutes of cardio, followed by ~60-80 minutes of lifting (6-8 lifts, 3-5 sets, 6-15 reps depending on the lift/where I'm at).

    My goal is to be active everyday. I like to do strength training twice per week, but various injuries and issues make that less than I'd like. I also garden, walk, hike, practice yoga, etc.

    4 days per week
    2 days 'heavy' for me weights about 30 sets followed by 20 ish mins steady state cardio
    Other 2 days lighter weights (8-10 rep range) followed by higher intensity cardio

    3x per week strength training with a trainer some cardio included but not the main focus. 2x per week yoga class.

    5 days a week lifting. 1 to 2 step aerobics classes a week. I’m pretty sedentary outside the gym.

    weight training at least three days a week, I just cycle through the body parts whatever days I have the time. I do not specifically schedule workouts.
    Cardio is much the same. I try to run at least once a week, but I throw in elliptical, walking, cycling, where possible.

    Weights 3 days out of every 4 (push pull legs rest). Light cardio rest day and I walk at least 30 mins everyday
