    I work out twice a day (30 minutes at a time, usually), 6-7 days a week. I am fortunate enough, however, to have a home gym. I know that's a lot of exercise, but I have 48 pounds to lose and exercise is the only way I've found to combat my depression naturally. I have a lot more energy too; I'm not falling asleep halfway through the day!

    Right now, I use an elliptical, stretch, jump rope, do yoga, pilates, and dabble in exercise videos on Netflix.

    When it warms up again, I will do more outdoor things like walking, biking, or--my favorite--hiking.

    6-7 days a week. 30-60 minutes. All cardio. I'll work on toning up more when I get a little closer to my goal.

    I'm doing 2x per day, at least 60 minutes. I do strength training with a trainer twice a week, and 1-2 times per week on my own. Cardio the rest of the time. I try to vary the cardio: Mostly I do the elliptical, but I also work in time on the rowing machine, stationary bike and stepper. I also do brisk walk/jogs with my dog every day--unless it's raining. (Schnauzers apparently fear melting when it drizzles.)

    I admit, I've been going a bit overboard on the exercise the last few months. But I still have nearly 80 pounds to get to my "ideal" body weight, and 60-70 to get to the weight I'll probably be happy to live with. And I feel better than I have in years.

    I try to do 30mins of cardio daily. Sometimes I'll ride my bike, walk, or play kinect games as well. I don't have the time to do much more on work days because I do 12 hr shifts. I put in extra time on days off if possible.

    I do 45 minutes to 2 hours (depending on my mood) of cardio a day (usually commute to and from work - longer bike rides on the weekend).

    Every two days I get to the gym for strength training. I also do a little extra cardio on those days as a warmup.
