    It totally depends. On my circuit/cardio/weight training days, I typically do 1 hour 50ish minutes to two hours. That's 3-4 days a week. On just cardio/strength days, I do about 45 minutes.

    Depends. I calculate by calories burned rather than time because sometimes i'll just walk 2 miles and burn like 300 calories but other times i'll do my hard workout and do 2500+ calories burned within 3 hours. So depends on my mood, day, energy level

    On my run days it is anywhere from 40 minutes to over an hour depending on how far I run. On my cross train days it is usually 45 minutes on the elliptical and maybe 15 to 20 minutes circuit.

    Depends really.
    Sometimes I will cycle for 2 hours, and also walk for a few hours, so 4 hours.
    Most days, I cycle for an hour to 2 hours, or I do stationary bike at a vigorous effort for 40-50 minutes.
    Today, I walked for 2 hours at a fast pace. I swim sometimes. I also do calisthenics(sit-ups, leg swings etc) sometimes for an hour or so. I try and exercise 6 out of 7 days.
