I want some opinions, when your working out how long do you go for? A hour maybe 2 or just until your tired? I know people out there who spend half of their days working out in some manor but being a full time stay at home mom and housewife I don't do too much besides the gym for an hour and a half 6 days out of the week if I am lucky and I try to motivate myself in the morning to take my son on a walk for 3 miles but I can't seem to get up and actually do that... I think I just need a good verbal butt kicking about doing more then I am doing now.
I want to hear it from both success stories and success stories in the making like myself (:

    I have a customized workout that I do throughout the week. I start with a Boot Camp training video which is 30 minutes of intense cardio and strength training. Then I do the last 15 minutes of a Pilates video which is a mix between yoga and light curve training. So I do roughly 3 hours of workouts a week spread out over 3-4 days. It's worked for me so far. I've lost 24 lbs in 2 and a half months.

    usually at least 90 minutes a day during the week (45min cardio in the AM, another 60 in the PM or weights) and , weekends as much as 5. all depends on time and energy. Yesterday was 2 hour hike, 1 hr dryland training, 2 hours trampoline training.

    Different different days. When only lifting about half an hour, but intense and then usually running or crossfit (takes about 30-45 minutes) that day too. Sometimes lifting/circuit but then for an hour and crossfit. So two workouts most days and total time about 60-120 minutes.

    Depending on the day, whether it be lifting and which/or body part: 45(low end)-70(high end).
    Cardio, either as a cool-down, or a separate part of the split/day: 12(average cooldown)-35(separate spinning).

    When combined with a weight session, and a cool-down, together averages about 70-80ish minutes.
