I'd like to know as well. I can barely fit in 30 min.0

i keep reading on here people talking about exercising 2 to 3 hours a day or more.
the only thing i want to know is.
WHERE IN HELL TO YOU ALL FIND THE TIME FOR THAT????
I treadmill two hours yesterday one hour in da morning and one hour in da evening.. It was too much going back to 30/30, I do it at work. LOL0 -
I barely have enough time outside of physical training to workout
Another question: Why do people find it necessary?0 -
"USB treadmill" that you plug to your computer and put under the desk. Perhaps?0
-
I do dog walking for a living
LOL And I speedwalk to and from the houses I go to. Extra calories burned

I do my Tai Chi practice when I first get to work in the morning, that's 20 min. At lunch I go for a walk, add 30 to 45 min.
After work, I go to the gym for 30 to 45 min of elliptical, treadmill or stationary bike. While I'm at the gym, I do strength training for about 30 min., but I don't count that as exercise time. It adds up.....0 -
I dont know how some people are able to do it but they do.
I personally don't believe I need to exercise more than 30 minutes a day. I believe my diet is priority. (granted right now its been crap but still)0 -

Spoken like a true prodigy Wits. Well said.0 -
I work out 60 to 90 minutes 6 days a week. I like it its the only "me" time I really get.
But I dont work and my mom lives with me so I have built in babysitting0 -
on weekends my children are at their fathers I can spend as long as I want there.
It ends up being about 3-3.5 hours a day.
On nights I don't have my children I spend 1.5 hours.
I overcompensate for when I cannot go. And that's my business, I love the gym so I don't feel my time spent there is a hassle or wasted.
When I have them I do free weights after they go to bed but don't log it.
A lot of gyms also have daycare. IF there is a will there is a way.0 -
I went to bed last night at 8:30 and got up to workout this morning at 4:45...0

The only time I work out less then 2 hours is on Monday's or Tuesday's. I wake up at 4am and do 30min to 60min work out lol I try to be in bed by 8 or 9 pm. Not always possible, so I make one of these days my "off day" . Plus, i have no kids, no animals, just me & my fiancee. We work out together so I guess that's a reason why I have time. Otherwise we wouldn't see e/o until bedtime lol Of course 2 hours isn't necessary, 30 to 60 min is good also. I do 2 hours because i love working out so much now! haha0

I work 40hours a week, married but no kids. I wake up at 445am to work out 1hr - 1.5hrs a day, 4-5 days a week. Evenings I walk my dogs for 20-30 minutes and then study. On Friday I party hard, Saturday is chill day with husband and family (maybe a little hiking), and Sunday I go out mountain biking with my husband for 3 hours. Yeah, so basically I take the time that I would spend watching TV to work out. The only TV time I get is when I'm cleaning. I love working out and I build my entertainment around working out. I enjoy biking, hiking, aerobics, swimming, and hiking. Although, I can only do up to 1.5 hours/day not 3 hours/day.
That is how it is done!0 -
I wish I had more time to workout! I'm lucky to squeeze 3 thirty minute workouts a week.0

I am a stay at home mom...I get up at 5am, do what needs to be done for kids clean, etc..., youngest gets on bus at 8:20am...as soon as she leaves I go to gym...I run for about an hour or so and then usually take a fitness class, which is usually about another hour...i leave gym by 10:30am and go on with the rest of my day. I go to gym 5x a week, take sat as a rest day and do a long run outside with a running partner early sunday am....we are out for about 2 to 3 hours...come back in, shower and get family to church.
I enjoy the exercise, it is me time, plus I get to see other adults and have an actually conversation

I do a full body lifting routine 3 times per week that lasts about 45 minutes each session. I adjust my calorie intake to not need all that cardio.
However, I have the option of having treadmill workstation at work and am pondering that idea.0 -
I workout for nearly an hour and a half a day for 6 days after work. I make time, because this is like my 2nd job in a small, weird way...0

I get asked that a lot as I was working out for 2 hours a day, life has been choatic but still finding at least 1.5 hours a day to work out. The answer is simple for me. I want to lose weight, so I make time. Do I miss things? yep... I don't watch much TV anymore, I don't go out a lot, I don't get much done around the house... My day goes..
6am wake up get ready
7am work
4-5pm come home from work. Hug the kid and etc.
5-7pm supper and play time with Kid, talk to wife about what needs talked about. (6:30pm take workout pre-stim.)
7-9:30ish work out at the gym.
10pm watch any tv, pick up, or whatever else is needed.
11:30-midnight head to bed.
It's like that 9 times out of 10 for me currently.0 -
I wake up at 5am... workout with pure cardio in AM 45min to an hour.
Try moving your treadmill/eliptical infront of your tv if you have kids. You can still spend time and watch them, while you are exercising.0 -
You can always find the time to do anything you want to do...even if it means sacrificing sleep. In they military we were trained to function on 4 hours a night, if that sometimes. It is all about prioritizing...and I am one of the 2-3 hours a day people, work a full time job and have wife and kids who are not deprived of my time. I just make it happen.i keep reading on here people talking about exercising 2 to 3 hours a day or more.
the only thing i want to know is.

^^This.
An hour is pushing it for me. 20-30 minutes is more manageable, and most days I don't really manage that. I try to work on the diet to make up for my lack of exercise lately!0 -
Damn I was going to say thatThe joy of being single and childless.
0 -
These people who talk about that clearly have no kid or spouse.0
-
1. I don't have kids
2. I get up at 4:30 AM & work out before work
3. If the hubby has to work late, I'll work out again in the evening
I realize this may not be my situation forever, so I'll take advantage of it while I can0 -
I move a lot so I don't know many people where I live right now. I have a job but no children.
Why do I find it necessary? Because it makes me happy. Yeah, I said it. I enjoy going to the gym and leaving 2-3 hours later a sweaty monster. Makes me feel like a bad *kitten*.
I do have a to eat more working out like this, but I eat more of the right stuff. (Most of the time, hehe)
For those of you who don't have the time to do what I do, I applaud you. That probably means you have a life and I'm slightly jealous.
Really though, I'm very grateful that my shedule allows me to work out like this. I'm happy with my life. I know my schedule won't be like this forever but I'm going to take advantage of it while I can.
There you have it.0 -
