Do you work out every day? For how long?
What's a hard workout to you?

I usually do 5 days a week and try to run 30min and do weights 30min

Just interested in how much and what people usually do. In the beginning I felt like I did a lot, but now it's just a norm.

How much is too much in your opinion?

    i do the same as you, 6 times a week, but if i want an extra day off, then ill do it. sometimes i incorperate cardio and strength, like doing a 50 minute sparticus workout or something, which makes it a bit different, but it all depends on my mood i guess.

    I do about 9-11 hours per week.

    I do classes at lunch three times a week. I take a night class once a week. And I run three times a week.

    I do an hour or so 2-3 times a week of focused exercise. This tends to be just right for me working 10 hour days and still having to do household stuff and walk the dog and all the other that sits out there. I don't find that outside of work I spend much time on my butt, so while I may not be in running shoes, I'm still moving, stretching and getting things done.

    I don't think I could be a 5 day a week gym rat. I just don't have that kind of time. On the other hand, when I am working out, everyone understands that there are to be no distractions. It's my Me Time.

    I only do 20 to 30 minutes on my treadmill 5 or 6 times a week. Seems to be working as I have lost 32 pounds so far.

    Usually 6 days a week, anywhere from 30 minutes- 2 hours, usually somewhere in between. I have done mostly cardio but am now trying to add in some strength training. I want to feel stronger, not just thinner.

    I do 5-6 days a week. Strength training & cardio each day for 30-60 minutes (depending on how I feel) but if I'm tired I'll take rest days in between if needed.

    1 to 1 1/2 hours per day, six days a week. P90x and Insanity. Some jillian and bob thrown in. I usually have to do 2 hours per day to get the scale to move.

    It really depends on my schedule and workload. On weekends, I do harder workouts than on working days, just because I have time not only to work out at home but also to get to the gym. For example, I did JM "Ripped in 30" this morning, and then went for a gym for an hour long cardio session in the afternoon. That was hard for me, I think I will be sore tomorrow :D But it was awesome anyways :)

    On working days, it's either a JM workout video or gym. Or neither, if I figure out that I have a ton of work to do. I leave at least one rest day a week, though, even if I have time for a workout because next time I work out, I can feel the difference.

    3-4 days of lifting (just over an hour each session).

    On the injured list waiting to see ortho surg about my knee, but pre-injury I was running 20ish miles a week on top of lifting.

    My plan starting on Monday (Im sick right now) is to be doing crossfit 2-3 times a week and on off days from that some low intensity cardio and maxing out body weight exercises (wall sits, pullups, chinups, pushups, abs) to help prevent injury and focus more on slow muscle contraction that you don't get for the fury and pain of crossfit.

    5 days a week, usually 30-60 minutes, depending on how many exercises and how/if I superset.

    Different body part each time (shoulders, back, legs, arms, chest, abs usually every 2nd or 3rd day.)

    I try to minimize the length of my workouts.

    In the New Year I think I'm gonna do alternate weights and cardio every 2nd day.
