How long do you exercise everyday? and how much weight you l

When the weather is nice I will do 3 to 4 runs a week @ 1 hour each and then strength train at the gym 4 days a week for @ 45 minutes. During the winter I am lucky to get 1 outside run so I will run at the gym for 30 - 45 minutes 4 days a week and do my same 45 mins of strength training 4 days a week.

I'm doing 1.5-2 hrs per day. Usually running 50-90 minutes 4 times per week; weight training, walking, other cardio, and yoga/flexibility the rest of the time.

45 mins for lifting.
On the rare occasion I run its only for 20-40 mins.

Anything more than that is overtraining in my opinion.

I did 30-45 minutes of cardio a day and 30-45 mins of circuit training with heavy weights. I lost about 40 pounds over months while having 2 cheat days a week.

**7 months

I started walking on my lunch everyday. 30 Minutes. and I try to do 10-15 minutes of cardio when I get home which includes lifting small weights 10lbs just to tone up. I have lost 3lbs in about 18 days... Maybe 5 but since my weight always differs from 148lbs to 150lbs I would say 3lbs.... I know that an hour a day is good for sufficient weight loss but I definetly don't do that

In general I do 90 minuted of cardio with 30 minutes of resistance 6 days a week.

I rest resistance Tuesday and cardio every 10 days or so.
My resistance is lower weights but high reps, then heavy every 3rd workout.

And I split my body into 3 muscle groups:
1. Legs
2. Chest- triceps - shoulders
3. Arms - back

I do a lot of weird things for cardio like military march, boxing type training,
dancing, floor rolls, squat thrust intervals and the good ole jumping jack.
And I jog, swim, play tennis, fast walk and bike.

Lost 64lbs and nearly 20% body fat - it works for me.

depends. but I have been on a quest to make my workouts more efficient, and I'm usually doing 60minutes now a days and exercise almost everyday unless I'm really sore and need to rest. I don't lose consistently b.c my eating is kind of crappy and I mess up, but I still exercise regardless b/c I love it.

If I'm doing machines, I'll do intervals and different resistance levels on the treadmill/elliptical

If I'm at home, I'll do a variety of workout dvd (mostly ones that come from walmart) and I love beachbody programs (I have turbofire and chalene extreme) I hope to get something like insanity.. (I'm a Jillian M. junky as well).

If I'm doing weights, I'll do 15minutes cardio, 30-40minutes of mixed strength exercises. 3 sets of about 12 reps each depending on the exercises. This is on the machines, but with free weights or body weight, I can do push-ups, mountain climbers, blah. Squats, skull crushers.

And the ab balancing core balls are good for a lot of different strength moves.

Shortest I exercise is a HITT workout dvd (15minutes) longest is about 2 1/2 hours, I average only 1hour now though

I do hot power yoga 3x per week for 75 minutes and 1x per week I do 90 minutes of restorative yoga.

I lose about .5 to 1 lb per week - I average 1600 cals a day (per weekly totals) .




Just hit goal weight today (4 months 35 lbs lost)
<<<This my after picture

just wanted to say you look great! and you just do yoga? nothing else? [and im not using the word 'just' in a negative way, that's amazingg!]


i typically like to workout at least 4 days a week with around a half hour of running and some random weight stuff just thrown in there.. i lost a lot of weight [see below] with just the elliptical and being really strict about what i ate but then platuead.. so now i gota kick it way up and do a lot more weights and out door running

It all depends on what you do. Time is not really as important as intensity.

i try to do at least 45mins - 1hr 5 days a week cardio.. i started 6wks ago & i'm down 13lbs. i have a lot to go though lol...

How long : 45-120 minutes (It really varies)
Times per week : 7
Pounds to lose: 53 from the start, 47 left to go.

On weight training days I try to do 30-45 minutes of weights and then 20-35 minutes of cardio machines (bike, eliptical, treadmill) and then I stretch for 15-20 minutes. I'd say I do this twice a week, but I'm hoping to bump it up to three times a week.

On my cardio days I'll spend 45-60 minutes on the bike, eliptical, stair stepper, and treadmill. Maybe take a walk, do a pilates or yoga video. Then I always do 15-20 stretching.

I don't see a huge weight loss, because I'm building muscle. But the first month of MFP I lost about a pound a week.

Good luck!!

I agree with a lot of post here... anything more than 45min is, imo, a waste. But give it your all if you only do that 45. Today I did 100 min though normally I only do 30min. Today was so beautiful out I could not resist not walking after doing a "light day" of yoga(norm take sundays off).. And when some fave tunes started playing and my 2 and 6 yo wanted to dance I did just that.
Point is depending on the type of activity you plan on doing is what should define your lenght of getting your burn on.

I do at least 30 minutes of cardio a day. I do strengthening every second day. I lose roughly a pound a week. Good luck with it all.

I do 30-50ish minutes, 3 days strength/3 days cardio, but if I oversleep I have 15 & 20 min workouts I can do just to do "something". Generally losing 1-2 lbs a week, but this week I lost 4.5, and I had a 6 lb week a couple of months ago (I had eaten cake and pizza 2 days before WI!).
